If you want the “classic” 30A fishing experience — calm water, steady action, and quality fish — our Inshore Fishing Trips are the perfect fit. These private charters focus on bay, flats, and shallow water where we can fish comfortably and efficiently, using proven light-tackle techniques that are fun for beginners but still exciting for experienced anglers.
Captain Marvin tailors each trip to the conditions and your goals, whether you want consistent bites, a shot at bigger fish, or a mix of both.

01The experience
“Inshore” means we’re fishing protected coastal waters rather than running far offshore.
If you’re visiting with family, bringing a few friends, or simply want a trip that offers great fishing without the full offshore commitment, inshore is hard to beat.
02On the water
Inshore trips are all about reading the water and fishing where the bite is strongest. Depending on the day, we may:
Captain Marvin will coach you through the approach — from casting and retrieves to hooksets and fighting fish — and he’ll adjust tactics throughout the trip to keep you on the best pattern.
03What you can catch
There’s a great variety of species available on inshore trips. Depending on season and conditions, you may target:
Your trip is always built around what gives you the best chance at a great day on the water.

You’ll fish with Captain Marvin Glasgow, a skilled inshore angler who knows how to find fish in the bays, flats, and backcountry. He runs a restored 22’ Cape Horn bay boat that’s built for comfort, stability, and inshore versatility.
The boat is equipped with modern GPS, fishfinder, and VHF radio, plus a wireless trolling motor for quiet positioning. There’s also a livewell and an ice box to keep things chilled and comfortable on board.
Captain Marvin makes it easy — everything you need to fish is included. Your trip includes rods, reels, tackle, bait, and the required fishing licenses for your group. If you decide to keep fish, Captain Marvin will clean and bag your catch at the end of the trip.
All you need to bring is weather-appropriate clothing, sun protection, and your own snacks and drinks.
