About Your Trip
Climb aboard for a day on the water with Captain Leigh in St. Marks, Florida — where scenic flats, productive reefs, and winding backcountry waterways provide a wide range of opportunities for anglers of all levels. With deep local knowledge and a relaxed, professional approach, Captain Leigh will guide you to the area’s best seasonal bites, whether you’re after big reds in the shallows or grouper and tripletail near structure.
You’ll fish from a 20’
AquaSport center console equipped with a GPS, fishfinder, live bait well, wireless trolling motor, and plenty of ice to keep your drinks and catch cool. It comfortably fits up to four guests and is perfectly suited for both calm inshore waters and slightly deeper nearshore spots.
Each trip includes quality rods, reels, tackle, and lures, and live bait is typically gathered first thing in the morning. Your license is covered, and your catch will be cleaned and bagged for you — no extra charge, though tips for fish cleaning are always appreciated. Water and Powerade are provided, and you’re welcome to bring your own snacks or beverages (please avoid glass and hard liquor).
Half-day (4-hour) trips are great for beginners, families with young kids, or solo anglers looking for a relaxed, budget-friendly way to get out on the water. These shorter outings often target species like redfish, trout, black drum, sea bass, and flounder in nearby flats and channels.
The 6-hour trip is a solid choice for anglers who want a little more time and flexibility to explore. You’ll have the chance to work inshore and nearshore waters, targeting everything from black, gag, and red grouper to tripletail, weakfish, cobia, and more. With the extra time, there’s more opportunity to shift tactics based on what's biting — from jigging and popping to trolling or sight casting.
Whether you’re new to fishing or chasing your next personal best, Captain Leigh offers a flexible, friendly charter experience in one of Florida’s most underrated fisheries.
