The Experience
What is Inshore Fishing
Inshore fishing is a guided trip on the calm, protected waters close to shore — the bays, sounds, and flats around Fort Walton Beach — targeting hard-fighting species like redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and sheepshead on light tackle.
With shorter runs and steadier water than offshore trips, inshore fishing means more time with lines in the water. And with Knot Working, every trip is a private charter — just you and your group, never shared with strangers — a relaxed, action-packed experience that's ideal for all ages and skill levels.

Is inshore fishing good for kids and first-time anglers?
It's the best trip for them. Calm water, light tackle, short runs, and steady action keep kids and beginners engaged — and the crew provides hands-on instruction the whole way.

Yes — rods, reels, tackle, bait, and the fishing license are all covered. Just bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and non-spray sunscreen.
