Backcountry is in the sound for shallow water species like speckled trout, bluefish, puppy drum, stripers and assorted bottom fish. Nearshore trips are in the ocean, usually along the beaches up to 8 miles off shore. When fishing the ocean, we target bluefish, spanish mackerel, cobia and other seasonal species. Nearshore fishing is dependent upon ocean and weather conditions.
