Why an 8-hour charter catches more fish
A full-day trip gives us time to:
- Fish multiple tide windows instead of just one
- Make smart moves if wind/weather shifts
- Work patterns until we dial in what’s producing
- Add variety (flats + bridges + deeper edges) without rushing
If you’ve got one “big fishing day” on your trip, this is the one to book.
What we target on a full-day Navarre Beach charter
Depending on season and conditions, you can expect to target:
- Redfish (Red Drum)
- Speckled Trout
- Black Drum
- Flounder
- Seasonal bonus species when conditions line up
Where we fish
Navarre’s inshore water is loaded with structure and grass flats. On an 8-hour trip we can comfortably explore:
- Santa Rosa Sound grass flats
- Causeway/bridge structure
- East Bay Drop-offs, drains, and bait edges
- Protected water if the wind is up
