Charter Fishing with Captain Robert invites anglers of all ages and levels of experience to join them in exploring St.Marks nearshore and backcountry waters. Captain Robert Mcclinnis grew up in the area and is committed to catering to all your needs. Bring the whole family along and spend a fun day in nature, chasing the most prized fish species in the region.

The boat you'll be fishing from is a 26 ft scout, powered by a 200HP Yamaha outboard. This boat's versatile design makes it a great choice for both inshore, nearshore, and backcountry fishing. It can accommodate 6 anglers fishing at the same using a number of fishing techniques. If you're trolling, the number of anglers fishing at the same time comes down to 2. The also boat has all the safety equipment and electronics you could need to have a safe, action-packed trip!

Charter Fishing with Captain Robert trips will take you around the best fishing and scalloping grounds around. Depending on the trip you'll be able to target a wide variety of species, including Redfish, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Cobia, and more. If you'd like to have access to snorkeling equipment, to escape the heat during the hot summer days, let your captain know ahead of time and they will bring it along for the trip. 

As far as fishing gear is concerned, that's all taken care of. The captain will provide you with top-of-the-line bull bay rods and Shimano reels as well as tackle, lures, and live bait. Live bait is included in each trip and depending on availability the captain will either have live shrimp or he'll stop by one of his traps and have fresh bait ready within seconds.

All you need to bring is your choice of drinks and snacks (water and ice will be provided), non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, and you're ready to meet Captain Robert on the water!

    Great afternoon with Cpt Robert. Caught fish in the first 20 mins and continued all afternoon. Black drum, gorgeous speckled trout, ladyfish, and even a flounder. He’s born and bred, knows exactly what he’s doing, was patient with my learning curve, made me entirely comfortable, and a left me a more confident fisherman. Fun, educational, and incredibly scenic (it’s amazing here) afternoon.Captain Robert is the real deal.

Captain Robert was GREAT!
6 hour St. Marks on September 6, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Robert is a very down to earth, open, guy that makes for great conversations. He knew the waters we fished very well. Most guides talk above you. He let my wife n I do things our way, wuth mixing in his tips here or there. As an avid fisherman, who has 45 years experience, I truly appreciated that fact in his demeanor! O highly recommend him n will definitely use him again!!

Great Trip!
Half Day (PM) on May 25, 2026 • 2 adults • 4 children

Kids got to catch a lot of different fish, we only got to keep 1 but it didn’t matter to the kids, they loved it all! It was very windy and the weather wasn’t great overall but we had a blast with Robert. Thats the most fun my kids had on our whole vacation. We would absolutely recommend Robert. Make sure you bring sunblock and hats for the kids. We plan to come back and book Robert for another fishing trip
