About Your Trip

Experience some of the best inshore and nearshore fishing that St. Augustine has to offer on a fully guided trip designed for anglers of every skill level. Whether you're chasing your first saltwater fish or targeting a trophy catch, your captain will customize the day around the season, the conditions, and what you want to catch.

You'll fish aboard a 22' Pathfinder TRS, a versatile bay boat perfectly suited for exploring shallow flats, oyster bars, creeks, docks, beaches, and nearby nearshore waters. Depending on the time of year, you'll have the chance to target Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Southern Flounder, Sheepshead, and other local species using a variety of productive techniques.

Your captain will put you on the fish while sharing local knowledge and tips throughout the day. You might sight-cast to cruising redfish on the flats, work docks and mangroves for snook, bounce jigs along the bottom for flounder, or battle the incredible power of migrating tarpon when they're in town. Every trip is tailored to maximize your opportunities based on current fishing conditions.

All rods, reels, tackle, lures, and safety equipment are provided, so you can simply show up ready to fish. Just bring your favorite snacks, drinks, sun protection, and a camera for the day's highlights.

Choose between a 4-hour trip for a fast-paced half day on the water or an 8-hour trip for a full day of exploring everything the St. Augustine fishery has to offer. However long you stay on the water, you'll enjoy a fun, hands-on fishing experience with an experienced local captain who's dedicated to helping you make lasting memories.
