The most common fishing techniques in Saint Marks are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and bottom fishing but artificial lure fishing and drift fishing are popular as well.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

St. Marks, Florida Fishing Overview

Sitting on the Wakulla River 20 miles South of Tallahassee, St. Marks is a perfect example of forgotten coast in Florida. Although this small town is surrounded by wildlife preserves, refuges, and national forests, it also has access to some of the best fishing spots in the state. With stellar freshwater bass fishing as well as inshore and nearshore opportunities, St. Marks is an angler’s Paradise.

Bass Fishing Near St. Marks

The Wakulla and the St. Marks rivers are gin clear spring-fed hosts to a bass fishing experience like no other. Giant Largemouth bass and the smaller but unique Suwannee bass are the targets for freshwater anglers headed to the river. The Suwannee bass is a black bass species with distinctive black vertical stripes along with the typical horizontal band. Although small in size, they pack and punch and crush bait. The excellent bass fishing combined with beautiful water and peaceful surroundings makes this a truly exceptional trip.

St. Marks Inshore Fishing

The Gulf of Mexico is a productive fishery in general but the inshore waters of St. Marks are truly amazing. The bays, bars, and flats are teaming with a variety of fish species including redfish, speckled trout, flounder, sheepshead, and even tarpon. The trout in these waters commonly have a golden hue on their sides and make them distinctive residents of the area.

With productive fishing everywhere you look, St. Marks is an ideal inshore fishing destination.

St. Marks Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Deep sea fishing out of St. Marks targets more open water and further out section of the Apalachee Bay. A wide range of species including snapper, grouper, cobia, kingfish, and Spanish mackerel thrive in these waters. Snapper and grouper species are targeted by deep dropping with bait while cobia, Spanish mackerel, and kingfish are more prone to explode on lures or bait while trolling. These heavy-hitting fish make for exciting nearshore fishing out of St. Marks.

    Amazing day out on the water with captain Greg. Not often you get to fill up the freezer with silver trout AND catch a couple monster redfish. Will be booking with him again next time we go out

    Greg was a terrific guide and put us on lots of fish (over 100 trout). Although it was an older boat it was spacious and large enough to make the fishing very enjoyable. His experience and patience was outstanding.
