It's looking like I'll be going on my first inshore trip on Thursday and I have no idea what to expect. I've grown up in a family that ran a freshwater guide service but know nothing about salt water. Anything I should know about going into this that might make the trip better?

If the captain is good, you'll be alright. Just have fun.

What fish will be targeted? Has the guide given you an idea of how they're doing right now? I fished inshore out of Savannah several times with guides and it was average to below average, but I'm used to fishing south LA marsh and it's hard to compete with that. Having realistic expectations based on how the fishing is this time of year and having a good personable guide will go a long way. I've had a couple of good inshore red fishing trips out of Charleston.

Good luck and have fun. You will be fine if you're already a fisherman. Biggest thing for me in going from freshwater to saltwater was hookset. I was used to a bass hookset where I was trying to rip their lips off and that doesn't work across the board in saltwater especially when using circle hooks.

Show up and go fishing. Bring your food and drinks. It's a charter.
