If you’re ready to try fishing in St. Augustine, we’ve got you covered with Knot Tied Down Fishing Charters. With Captain Jerry at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Species like Cobia, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Black Seabass, Blackfin Tuna, Almaco Jack, and more are in the cards, depending on conditions. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
You’ll be welcome aboard a 40’ Jersey offshore sport fishing with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. It’s always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in St. Augustine for yourself, with Knot Tied Down Fishing Charters!

An amazing experience for the whole family! We caught plenty of fish, including several different species. The captain and first mate were incredibly patient and kind with the kids, making the trip even more enjoyable. The boat was top-notch—clean, spacious, and well-equipped with great amenities. We’ll definitely be booking again on our next trip to Florida!

This is by far the best charter experience we have had. The captain, crew and boat were all great. The captain definitely knows his waters and put us over a lot of fish. The crew was constantly on it. He had a great attitude and made for a fun time. The boat was very nice and if you are a lady… it has an onboard toilet! That was the win for me. My family caught so many fish and they were delicious! Can’t wait to book again with Jerry and Jake!!!! Thanks for a great day fishing!

We had a great time with Captain Jerry and First Mate Jake. We had two kids 6 & 8 - first time on an ocean fishing trip. They both caught fish and had a great time. Looking forward to eating our catch later today at the Conch House!

Captain Jerry & First Mate Jake exceeded all of our expectations! This was a bucket list trip for my husband and I as avid anglers in our home state of MN. We caught everything we had on our wish list and more! If you are trying to determine which Charter company to use, regardless of your level of experience, look no further! Thanks again guys, for an unforgettable experience!

The family and I had a wonderful time, 10 outta 10 would come again. There was a level of comedy and acting brought into the room we haven't seen in a escape room before. The staff was helpful Andy did a great job.
