You only need to pick the date and let Westbound Sportfishing take you on a memorable fishing journey in Florida. Leaving out of Bay Pines Marina in beautiful St. Petersburg, your captain can head out to inshore and offshore grounds, reefs, wrecks, limestone ledges, or the local grass flats. The captain knows where and how to put you on the hot bite, so come aboard and enjoy your next fishing trip in Florida!

The boat you'll be fishing offshore is a 30' Parker center console that can take a maximum of 6 guests. Ran by a brand new 350 HP Suzuki outboard and uses all the modern fishfinder, GPS, radio, as well as radar technology in order to make a quick and safe reach to the fish. The boat has a livewell, an fishbox, food cooler, as well as a portable toilet you can use. Turn to the first mate if there's anything you need and they will gladly help you out.

On your trip, you'll go after various species of snapper and grouper, King and Spanish mackerel, cobia, tuna, permit, mahi mahi and more. To reel them in, you'll use a combination of bottom fishing, live bait fishing, trolling, as well as jigging. Both light and heavy tackle are available. You can keep the any fish you catch that is in season and within the legal limits. Bring your kids along for a day they won't forget!

The captain will take care of the all the fishing tackle, live bait, fishing licenses, and will even clean and fillet your catch for free. Just bring the snacks and drinks of your choice and you'll be ready to depart.

Great Quick Trip
Half Day Trip – Deep Sea (AM) on March 30, 20263 adults

This was an awesome half-day trip and I definitely recommend Westbound Sportfishing for your next trip. We caught so many fish! Brian was great to work with and was very helpful to newer anglers. If you want to jam in a quick fishing trip where time might be constrained, this trip is for you. you’ll catch a lot of fish and the action is non-stop.

Reported catch:
Red Grouper
Grunt

Half Day Trip – Deep Sea (AM) on February 19, 20262 adults

We had a wonderful half day on the gulf, caught Hog, Scamp, Gray Snapper and Grouper. Brian is a super Captain and fun!! he is extremely knowledgable of the area and the gulf, he put us on fish all morning. This was my wifes first time deep sea fishing, he worked with her and taught here how to do it. I highly recommend fishing with Brian!!! Thank You!!!
