About Your Trip
Get ready to explore the beautiful and productive waters of St. Petersburg, Florida with Captain Weston, a knowledgeable local guide who’s all about delivering a fun and laid-back fishing experience. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just starting out, these inshore and nearshore charters are a great way to enjoy Florida’s Gulf Coast while targeting a variety of exciting species.
Your trip will take place aboard a 24’ Ranger bay boat powered by a 250
HP Yamaha engine, built for both comfort and performance. With room for up to 4 anglers, it’s ideal for families, small groups, or a personal one-on-one trip. The boat comes equipped with GPS, fishfinder, a wireless trolling motor for stealthy approaches, a live bait well, and an ice box to keep your drinks and catch cool.
Captain Weston covers everything you need for a great day on the water. All rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait are included. He catches fresh bait before each charter, so your time is spent fishing, not preparing. Your fishing license is covered by his captain’s license, and at the end of the trip, he’ll clean and fillet your catch at no extra charge.
Depending on the season and conditions, you’ll be targeting favorites like Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Spanish and King Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Grouper, Flounder, and Tarpon. You’ll use light tackle techniques like bottom fishing and spinning, and trips are tailored to your goals and skill level.
Half-day trips are great for families, beginners, or anyone who prefers to fish without being out all day. You’ll be back before dinner with the chance to hook into plenty of great species.
The 5-hour trip gives you more time on the water to chase multiple types of fish without committing to a full day, while the 6-hour option is best for anglers looking to get a little more serious and explore deeper into the flats, reefs, and nearshore waters for that next great catch.
Captain Weston welcomes anglers of all experience levels and is committed to making sure your trip is safe, successful, and memorable. Just bring your snacks, sunscreen, and a good attitude—he’ll take care of the rest.
