Sight‑Casting Tailing Redfish and Light‑Tackle Backwater Flats with Capt. Ron.
Neptune Beach’s low, glassy marshes and winding Intracoastal channels set the stage for a private inshore and backwater fishery that centers on sight casting to tailing redfish and hunting flounder on light tackle with Capt. Ron. The trip pairs shallow‑water precision on flooded spartina grass flats during high tides with flexible coastal or inlet options depending on season and conditions.

From late summer through November, extreme high tides flood the spartina grass flats along the Intracoastal, producing tailing redfish that anglers stalk and sight‑cast to—an intense fishery popular for fly and lure anglers.

What the Half‑Day With Capt. Ron Feels Like

Start times are flexible and the outing is tuned to the tides that create the most productive shallow‑water opportunities.
