Hudson's inshore waters offer some of Florida's most consistent redfish action, with fish ranging from slot-size keepers to oversized bulls exceeding 30 inches.

Captain Curley's local expertise includes reading water conditions, understanding tidal movements, and positioning the boat for optimal sight fishing opportunities when redfish cruise the flats.
Redfish thrive in Hudson's brackish waters where grass flats meet deeper channels, feeding aggressively on crabs, shrimp, and baitfish. These copper-colored drums are known for their powerful runs and stubborn fights, often taking anglers into their backing when hooked in shallow water. The best redfish action occurs during moving tides, particularly the last two hours of incoming tide when bait gets pushed onto the flats. Live shrimp and cut bait work exceptionally well, though artificial lures like gold spoons and soft plastics can trigger explosive strikes from aggressive fish.
All Florida Fish Invaders charters include a fully equipped flats boat designed for shallow water fishing, complete with trolling motor for stealthy approaches to feeding redfish. The boat accommodates up to 4 guests comfortably with plenty of storage for personal items and fish boxes for your catch. Trips typically start at sunrise to take advantage of the best feeding periods, with Captain Curley providing all necessary tackle, bait, and fishing licenses. Guests should bring sun protection, drinks, and snacks for a full day on the water targeting these incredible gamefish.
