Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Redfish, Tarpon, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Striped Bass, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and whatever else is biting. On these trips, it’s common to spin or even cast a popping cork using light tackle. Capt. Dave also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
