What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard Captain Brandon's boat, you're in for a treat. This isn't just fishing; it's a masterclass in inshore angling. You'll start by learning the lay of the land (or should we say, water). Homosassa's inshore waters are a maze of grass flats, oyster bars, and mangrove shorelines - each holding the promise of your next big catch. Captain Brandon will show you how to read the water, spot tell-tale signs of fish activity, and present your bait in a way that's irresistible to the local swimmers. You'll be using light tackle spinning gear, perfect for the quick strikes and powerful runs of inshore game fish. Expect to try a mix of live bait and artificial lures, depending on what's working best that day. And don't worry if you're new to this - Captain Brandon's got the patience of a saint and the teaching skills to match. By the end of your trip, you'll be casting like a pro and maybe even giving the captain a run for his money!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing the inshore waters of Homosassa that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the heart-stopping moment when a big snook smashes your topwater lure. Or perhaps it's the satisfaction of perfectly working a soft plastic along a grass edge and feeling that telltale 'thump' of a sea trout strike. For many, it's the sheer variety of the fishing - one minute you're sight-casting to tailing redfish in skinny water, the next you're working deeper channels for the chance at a trophy gator trout. But ask any regular, and they'll tell you it's Captain Brandon that makes the difference. His local intel is worth its weight in gold, and his enthusiasm for sharing "honey holes" and hot tips is infectious. Whether you're looking to bend a rod, learn new techniques, or just enjoy a morning on the water, this trip delivers the goods time and time again.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Snook: These hard-fighting linesiders are the rock stars of inshore fishing. Known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps, snook will test your skills and your gear. In Homosassa, you'll find them lurking around mangrove roots, dock pilings, and along current edges. Spring and fall are prime times for big snook, but they can be caught year-round. There's nothing quite like the 'pop' of a snook inhaling a topwater plug at first light - it's the stuff fishing dreams are made of.

Sea Trout: Often called "specks" by the locals, sea trout are the bread and butter of Homosassa inshore fishing. These spotted beauties are abundant, eager to bite, and downright delicious (if you're keeping a few for dinner). You'll target them over grass flats and along channel edges, often using popping corks or soft plastics. The real thrill comes when you hook into a "gator" trout - the big girls over 20 inches that'll make your drag sing. Winter and early spring are fantastic for trophy trout, but you can catch them all year long.

Redfish: With their copper-penny shine and distinctive spot near the tail, redfish are a favorite target for many inshore anglers. In Homosassa, you'll find them tailing on shallow flats, cruising mangrove shorelines, or hanging around oyster bars. Reds are known for their powerful, bulldogging runs that'll have you holding on tight. Fall is prime time for big schools of bull reds, but you can tangle with these bruisers any month of the year. There's something magical about sight-casting to a tailing redfish in gin-clear water - it's a rush that never gets old.
