Local Knowledge Fishing Charters
“Fishing with a local” is a staple of what experienced anglers are looking for, someone who knows the local fishing spots, the habits of the fish, and all the hidden bays and holes that produce the best catch. Local Knowledge Fishing Charters does precisely that, bringing you to the hottest fishing spots around and putting you on the best bite. His boat has a very shallow draft, allowing for excellent movement in the inshore waters around St. Augustine. The engine is an outstanding 225 HP Yamaha SHO, allowing you to fly across the water at 60 knots. It’s also equipped with a wireless trolling motor, to keep her steady as you measure that first cast.
Captain Lehman Norman will be your guide and assistant on this charter. He’s a 4th generation Floridian that has been fishing the St. Augustine area since he was a kid, he knows his locale well. You can expect to target a variety of species on this charter, from Redfish, Flounder, and Black Drum, all the way to Cobia, Mangrove Snappers, Jack Crevalles, and many more species you run across.
Live bait is prepared for customers before they arrive for their trip. All equipment that is required is provided by the captain. There is no minimum age policy for kids and Local Knowledge Fishing Charters invites anglers of all sizes and ages to join them on this excellent fishing adventure!

Phenomenal captain with more knowledge than most. Went out of his way to show us spots for fishing so that we could keep catching fish even when the charter was done. I look forward to booking with him again.
