Flats, Inshore, Nearshore Fishing Charter in St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg Inshore Trip
On this epic inshore trip, you'll be able to go after the best sportfish species that Florida has to offer, including Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and more! Each of these fish offer different challenges, and on this 3, 4, 6, or 8-hour trip, you'll be able to take a shot at catching all of them! If this is your first time fishing Tampa Bay, here's a brief rundown on each of your target species. Snook: First off, a big Snook is a sight to behold, with its bold stripe and its glimmering gray scales. This fish grows up to 50 inches long and lives between four and five decades. When caught, the fish makes showy leaps and will put up a fight before you can reel it in. Snook are powerful fish, and they won’t make it easy for you to catch them, especially in shallow water. Captain Jarrod loves to see the look in an angler’s eyes when they make their big catch. Snook are plentiful in the Tampa Bay area, which makes them an ideal target for anglers. On especially plentiful days, you won’t leave the boat without multiple catches, even if you fish with a group. Redfish: One of Tampa Bay's best-known sportfish, Redfish make great catches for all anglers, regardless of experience. You’ll find the largest of these feisty and formidable fish inshore and nearshore. A relative of the Black Drum, Redfish have a unique ability to smell their prey, as opposed to relying solely on sight. They can weigh up to 12 pounds and live for 40 years, and these fish are prime fighters. You’ll never see a dull moment during your search for these magnificent creatures. Catching Redfish is a breeze when you know where to look, how they search for prey, and what they like to eat. Redfish like to stay in underwater grass, and you’ll find them easy to spot in shallow waters, depending on the tide. Redfish like to eat shellfish but won’t hesitate to take a chunk off a larger fish that passes by them. Speckled Trout: Trout have many names and species, including sea trout, spotted seatrout, speckled trout, and specks. As the various names imply, this type of trout has black spots along its sides and back over a silver underbelly. An average adult trout ranges between 12 and 24 inches long. Once a trout gets past 22-24 inches, we call it a "gator" trout. Trout typically weigh between 10 and 12 pounds, though the record for the biggest trout caught in Florida tips the scales at 17 pounds 7 ounces. You’ll typically find Trout in grass flats in about 1-6 feet of water. They like to stick close to mangroves near the shore, though you may also find them hidden in deep grass holes. During the winter, Trout sometimes venture into water as deep as 15 feet. Regardless of which species you hook, you'll have a blast on the water with Captain Jarrod! On the day of your trip you will launch from the boat ramp next to Hook's Waterfront Bar and Grill. If you need to launch from a different area, Captain Jarrod is flexible and has several options—please let him know what works best for you. You'll be fishing from the deck of Captain Jarrod's 25' Sportsman 234 bay boat. This puppy comes equipped with a 250 Yamaha SHO engine for speed and maneuverability, plus a range of amenities including a multimedia system, PowerPoles for exploring shallow flats, trolling motor, multiple live wells for your bait, Yeti coolers for your drinks, and more! This boat is perfect for a family fishing trip. Jarrod will provide you with all the equipment, tackle, and bait you need, plus he'll supply ice for your food, drinks & fish, artificial lures, photos of your catch, secret techniques and instruction for artificial bait fishing, and he will even clean and bag your fish for you at the end of the day! All you need to bring is your sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, sunglasses, any food & drinks you'd like to enjoy onboard. Beer is welcome, but please—no hard liquor or wine, and no glass containers. If you've got Captain Jarrod at the wheel, your fishing adventure will surely be one to remember! Gratuties are never expected, but are always greatly appreciated! If your captain did a good job and you had an enjoyable trip, please consider rewarding his efforts with a 15-20% tip. Read More

What’s the difference between a clearwater fishing guide & a charter captain? Anyone can go out and pass a test to get a Charter Captains' license. However, a guide is someone who truly knows how to fish in the area.

Captain Craig is a true, ‘Clearwater Fishing Guide’. From shallow grass flats fishing to the bays, Captain Craig's flats fishing charters are among the best in the area. His flats charters include taking one to 3 persons to areas such as the grass flats, nearshore, backwaters, and bays along Clearwater and Tarpon Springs and even into Tampa Bay.

Captain Craig will provide almost everything for your flats fishing adventure from rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing licenses, and even fish cleaning though he does encourage catch and release. All you'll need to bring are some snacks and drinks, your sun protection, and your own fly gear if that's your flavor, but Captain Craig will take care of the rest to ensure you have an epic day out on the water!

What are the most popular months to fish for redfish fishing in Tierra Verde?
Understanding the redfish seasons in Tierra Verde is crucial for planning a successful fishing trip in this picturesque region of Florida. Like many other species, redfish exhibit seasonal patterns influenced by factors such as water temperature, weather conditions, and spawning behavior. Typically, the prime seasons for redfish fishing in Tierra Verde coincide with the cooler months of fall and winter. During these times, redfish tend to congregate in shallower waters, making them more accessible to anglers.
In the fall, as temperatures begin to drop and baitfish migrate, redfish become more active along the flats and inshore areas of Tierra Verde. This period marks the beginning of the "bull redfish" season, when larger specimens gather in schools to feed voraciously before the onset of winter. Anglers targeting these trophy-sized redfish often employ a variety of techniques, including casting artificial lures, live bait fishing, and fly fishing. Additionally, the fall season offers relatively mild weather and fewer crowds, making it an ideal time to explore the bountiful waters of Tierra Verde.
As winter sets in, redfish continue to provide anglers with ample opportunities for excitement and challenge. While water temperatures may drop, leading to a decrease in overall fish activity, dedicated anglers can still find success by targeting deeper channels, oyster bars, and other structures where redfish seek refuge from the cooler temperatures. Moreover, the winter months in Tierra Verde offer stunning scenery and serene fishing conditions, with clear blue skies and calm waters creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable day on the water. Whether you're chasing trophy redfish or simply enjoying the tranquility of the season, Tierra Verde's winter fishing opportunities are not to be missed.
What techniques are popular for catching redfish in Tierra Verde?
Redfish fishing in Tierra Verde demands a diverse set of techniques to adapt to the changing conditions and habitats of the area. One popular method among anglers is sight fishing, particularly in the shallower flats where redfish often roam. Using polarized sunglasses to spot the fish cruising in the clear waters, anglers can quietly approach and present baits or lures with precision. This technique requires patience and keen observation but can lead to thrilling hookups with wary redfish.
For those targeting redfish in deeper waters or around structures like mangroves and oyster bars, casting and retrieving artificial lures can be highly effective. Soft plastic swimbaits, spoons, and topwater plugs mimic the natural prey of redfish and entice strikes when worked skillfully. Working these lures along the edges of channels or bouncing them off the bottom near structure can trigger aggressive strikes from hungry redfish. Additionally, using live bait such as shrimp, mullet, or pinfish on a Carolina rig or under a popping cork can be irresistible to redfish, especially when fishing in areas with strong currents or murky waters.
Fly fishing enthusiasts also have ample opportunities to target redfish in Tierra Verde using specialized techniques. Whether sight fishing on the flats or probing deeper waters, fly anglers often use patterns such as crab and shrimp imitations to entice strikes from redfish. Precision casting and careful presentation are essential when fly fishing for redfish, as these fish can be selective and easily spooked in clear waters. By matching the hatch and understanding the movements of redfish in different habitats, fly anglers can enjoy rewarding success in Tierra Verde's diverse fishing grounds.
What other species are popular in Tierra Verde?
In addition to the renowned redfish, Tierra Verde offers anglers a diverse array of other species to target, ensuring excitement and variety on the water. One highly sought-after species is the snook, known for its powerful runs and acrobatic leaps. Tierra Verde's mangrove-lined shorelines, bridges, and tidal flats provide prime habitat for snook, especially during their seasonal migrations. Anglers often use live bait, such as pilchards or mullet, as well as artificial lures like jerkbaits and swimbaits, to entice strikes from these elusive fish.
Another prized catch in Tierra Verde's waters is the spotted seatrout, a popular game fish renowned for its delicious taste and spirited fight. These fish are abundant in the shallow grass flats and deeper channels of Tierra Verde, particularly during the cooler months of fall and winter. Anglers typically target seatrout using live shrimp, artificial lures like soft plastics or topwater plugs, and occasionally, fly fishing techniques. Whether you're a novice angler or a seasoned veteran, reeling in a trophy-sized seatrout can be a highlight of any fishing excursion in Tierra Verde.
For anglers seeking an adrenaline rush, Tierra Verde also offers opportunities to target hard-fighting species such as tarpon, jack crevalle, and even sharks. Tarpon, in particular, are known for their spectacular aerial displays and are often pursued by anglers during their seasonal migrations along the coast. Meanwhile, jack crevalle provide fast-paced action and can be found patrolling the flats and nearshore waters year-round. With its rich biodiversity and varied habitats, Tierra Verde promises an exhilarating fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels, with an abundance of species to target throughout the year.
