HCO Hunting and Fishing Packages
Plan It How You Want
Fish the coast, hunt at Clay Ranch, or mix both into one trip. With changing seasons and a range of options, we’ll help you put together something that feels right—whether it’s a quick trip or an all-inclusive stay Historic Coast has you covered.
Seasons on the Historic Coast
Fishing and hunting on the Historic Coast is a year-round opportunity, shaped by tides, weather, and time of year. Each season brings its own rhythm—and its own way to experience the marsh and woods.
Inshore fishing is available throughout the entire year. The marsh is always changing, and every season offers something different—from flooded grass and tailing redfish to clearer winter flats and technical sight fishing.
Fall
Floodtides | Cast & Blast
Fall brings some of the most dynamic conditions of the year. Flood tides push fish deep into the spartina grass, and marsh hen opportunities (king & clapper rails) begin to line up with cast & blast trips in the coastal marsh.
Winter
Quail (Oct.-Mar.)
Cooler months bring clear water, steady fishing, and bobwhite quail hunting at Clay Ranch. Winter is known for more technical sight fishing conditions and quieter days on the water.
Spring
Osceola Turkey (Mar.-Apr.)
Spring in the woods at Clay Ranch is all about Osceola turkeys. Early mornings, longbeards on the limb, and a season that blends perfectly with the start of warming water and active fishing.
Marsh Hen Season
Cast & Blast (Sept.-Nov.)
Early fall brings cast & blast opportunities in the marsh, targeting redfish in the creeks and marsh hens (king & clapper rails) along the tides.
Multi-day trips can be built around any season and combination of activities. Fishing, hunting at Clay Ranch, and marsh cast & blast can be paired together depending on timing and conditions.
These trips include lodging, meals, and fully guided experiences designed around how you want to spend your time on the coast.
