If you’re in the market for a professional, guided, land-based fishing experience near Bolivar Peninsula, look no further than ZFG Outfitters. Here you won’t be far from nearshore waters, including some spots that only a local can show you.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Whiting, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Bull Shark, Lemon Shark, Jack Crevalle, Pompano, Flounder, and plenty more. You’ll be fishing from the shore, so there’s no need to worry about seasickness.
Any keeper fish caught during the trip is yours to take with you. Johnny can also clean your catch for you, so it’s hassle-free when you get home. Have a cooler ready in the car! Up to 15 anglers can join these excursions. You’ll make your way to the fishing grounds on foot, so be sure to dress for current weather conditions and bring only as much as you can carry.
Expect to get in touch with Johnny before the trip so you know where to meet and how to get there. Your fishing license for the day is not included, so members of your group may need to buy one. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply.
You’re encouraged to dress in layers and the proper footwear (if you aren’t sure what that means, just ask). It’s never a bad idea to bring snacks, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen, no matter the weather. This is a kid-friendly experience, so feel free to bring ‘em along and pack any extras they need.
The Bolivar Peninsula wilderness is calling, now let ZFG Outfitters take you there!

8 Hour Trip – Red Fish and Shark
Are fishing trip was amazing all the way around. We couldn’t have ask for a better guide, very very nice guy. I definitely recommend him if you’re ever in his area to book a fishing trip. When my husband made the catch tears started running down my cheeks, I had so much joy for him.

12 Hour Trip – Overnight Shark
We ended the night early (after about 5hours in) due to bad weather and we did not catch anything at all. My family of 7 were promised a refund of 50% and it’s been a month with no response to our calls, messages or text. Even before our fishing trip we would try to contact him, with little to no luck. He has no communication skills. Do not book with him!
