Bite Me Fishing Charters operates out of beautiful St. Augustine, Florida. Captain Dale enjoys teaching people who have never fished the area and giving them the experience of a lifetime catching fish in the area of Northeast Florida. From the reel screaming drag of offshore trolling to bait busting Redfish inshore, he offers it all and will certainly do everything possible to make your trip the best it can be.

As a lifelong resident of St. Augustine, Captain Dale grew up fishing the waters in and around the area. Having been a firefighter for over 25 years, he has had plenty of time to hone his skills on the water. He decided it was time to become a charter captain as he looks forward to retirement from the fire service.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 24’ Tidewater Baymax with room for 4 guests. She’s powered by a 200 HP Yamaha four stroke and will get you to the fishing spots at 40 MPH. She has all the electronics to find the best spots and has a Minn Kota i-Pilot trolling motor to serve as an anchor or cruise you through the creeks.

Trips are 4–6 hours and will target species depending on the time of year. Kingfish, Cobia, Amberjack, Tarpon, and Snapper are on fire in the summer months along the coast and are sure to be stripping your drag.

The captain will provide your fishing equipment and licenses. If you’re interested in bowfishing, note that this is available only on an offshore trip. Contact the captain for more details in advance. You should bring your own food and drinks – there’s a cooler on the boat to keep them fresh and cold.

    Half day with Capt Dale

    Half Day Trip on July 23, 2023 • 3 adults • 1 child

    My family and I had and absolute wonderful time on the charter today. Capt Dale and John made sure my wife and son had the best experience possible as we limited out on Kings and some of the biggest fish anyone could ask for. A true family oriented trip with two great gentlemen. We will definitely be back with Bite Me Charters again. Highly recommended.

    Half day trip with the captain

    Half Day Trip on July 30, 2021 • 2 adults

    If you want to keep some fish, it seems like an almost lock that you will catch some good eaters 9 miles out. However, if your like me and just like to catch fish and Love fighting hard fighting fish, I’d recommend just ask him to take you to the shrimp boats and catch bull sharks and black tips. That was crazy fun, and next time I’ll be trying to sign up for a half day of chasing shrimp boats with the captain if they’re around that day. Great bite from kings and barracuda. They were tearing our baits up every ~8 minutes. Not all were getting the hook up, but you could see the slashes in the ones that hit but didn’t hook up.

    St Augustine fishing trip

    Half Day Trip on August 11, 2021 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Hi folks! We had a blast this morning. This was our first time fishing offshore but more than what we expected the water was calm and captain was ontime, knowledgeable, and helpful. The trip was 4 hours and we went offshore. Caught 3 Cobia we had to throw back and two king mackerel that were keepers. Also had a couple unknowns get gobbled up by Sharks that both gave me a hell of a workout before the lines broke. We will definitely use this charter again in the future.

I have been fishing my whole life in and around St. Augustine. I am a fireman so I have plenty of time to fish. I decided to start doing charters on the days I am not at the fire station. I mainly fish inshore and offshore out of St. Augustine. I love to teach people how to fish the waters here and enjoy having them catch fish they have never experienced before.
