What's the Deal?

This isn't your average boat ride – it's a full-on fishing adventure. We're talking six solid hours of casting, reeling, and hopefully, lots of "fish on!" moments. Our captains know these waters like the back of their hand, so you'll be hitting all the local hotspots where the fish are biting. We provide top-notch gear, from rods and reels to bait and tackle, so all you need to bring is your game face and maybe a snack or two. With room for two anglers, it's perfect for a fishing buddy trip or some quality time with family. And the best part? If plans change, you can cancel up to a day before without any fuss.

Rods, Reels, and Inshore Feels

Inshore fishing is all about versatility, folks. One minute you might be sight-casting to tailing redfish in the flats, the next you could be dropping lines near structure for some hefty grouper. We'll likely be using light to medium tackle, perfect for the mix of species we're after. Expect to do some drift fishing, maybe some trolling, and definitely some good old-fashioned casting and retrieving. Don't worry if you're new to this – our guides are patient teachers and will have you feeling like a pro in no time. We might use live bait, artificial lures, or both, depending on what's working best that day. And remember, in these parts, the fish can surprise you – so stay on your toes!

Fish Tales and Tight Lines

Once word gets out about the quality of fishing we're offering, I'm sure we'll have plenty of happy anglers sharing their stories. For now, why not be one of the first to experience this top-notch trip and maybe leave a review of your own?

The Local Lineup: Fish We're After

Southern Flounder: These flatfish are masters of camouflage and pack a delicious punch. They love to hang out on sandy or muddy bottoms, often near structures like docks or jetties. Spring and fall are prime times for flounder, but you can catch them year-round in St. Pete. The thrill of hooking one of these side-swimming ninjas is unmatched – they put up a great fight and make for some fantastic table fare.

Goliath Grouper: True to their name, these behemoths can grow to epic proportions. While we practice catch-and-release for these gentle giants (it's the law), the sheer power of hooking one is an experience you won't forget. They love structure and tend to hang around reefs, wrecks, and bridges. Goliaths are curious creatures and might just come check out your boat – keep your camera ready!

Sheepshead: Don't let their funny-looking teeth fool you – these striped battlers are no joke. They're notorious bait stealers, so feeling the bite and setting the hook takes some finesse. Winter and early spring are peak seasons for sheepshead around St. Pete. They love hanging around pilings, oyster beds, and rocky areas. Landing one of these bad boys is always satisfying, and they're mighty tasty too.

King Mackerel (Kingfish): When kingfish are in town, hold onto your hats! These speedsters can make your reel scream like nothing else. We typically target them in the warmer months, often by slow-trolling live bait. The fight is fast and furious – kings are known for their blistering runs and acrobatic leaps. Landing a big king is a trophy-worthy accomplishment for any angler.

Sea Trout: Also known as speckled trout, these guys are a staple of inshore fishing in St. Pete. They're active year-round but really fire up in the cooler months. Sea trout love to hang in seagrass beds and around mangrove shorelines. They're great fun on light tackle and have a soft mouth, so setting the hook just right is key. The 'gator' trout (the big ones) are the stuff of local legend.

Cobia: Cobia are the wildcards of our inshore waters. These curious fish often swim right up to the boat, giving sight-fishing enthusiasts a real treat. They're here in good numbers during spring and fall migrations. Cobia fight hard, grow big, and taste amazing – it's no wonder they're a favorite among local anglers. Hooking one is always a highlight of any trip.
