re: When is the best time of year for an inshore charter?

That info I gave you is for "Cocodrie Charters". I would also suggest Capt. Brandon Carter "Reel Shot" out of Venice. He's very professional, and will put you on some nice trout. He's not much into reds, though. He fishes a 24' Champion. Also, Dufrene's Guide Service out of Golden Meadow. Chad's a redfish guy, but he knows where trout live too. He just don't like trout fishing as much. If you wanna learn how to sight fish for reds though, he's your man.
