Inshore and bay guides
Inshore trips fish calm bays, flats, marsh and the passes close to land. Short runs, smaller boats and steady action make them the usual pick for kids and first-timers.
Usually after: Cobia, Redfish, Black sea bass, Flounder.
1
Party boats
Party boats (head boats) sell spots per person, bait and tackle included. They are the cheapest way onto the water, and the crew helps beginners.
