Palmetto Pat’s Fishing Charter
Palmetto Pat’s Fishing Charter
There’s a fish with your name on it in Palmetto and Palmetto Pat’s Fishing Charter will help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Patrick, giving you access to years of angling experience.
Species like Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Goliath Grouper, Flounder, Sheepshead, Tarpon, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the season. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
You’ll be welcome aboard a 19’ Carolina Skiff flats boat that can carry up to 3 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Don’t leave home without sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality, with Palmetto Pat’s Fishing Charter.

Why Aren't You Booked Yet?
Why are you reading my review? Book the trip now and read the rest after. Okay so now that you have that out of the way, Patrick is easily my favorite captain of any charter I've ever taken. Super easy to get along with, extremely helpful, and great with my boys. Patience is required for my younger son and Patrick handled him with ease. Enough good things can't be said about him, book now!

Great kids trip!
If you’re debating whether to book the kids trip, just stop and do it! Pat was great with my 12 year old, whose experience to this point was fishing local streams for perch and trout. He’s knowledgeable about the area and the waters here. Took us to a few different spots where we pulled in trout, catfish and snook aka “snooks” lol. He kept us moving until we hit on a spot where the snook kept hitting almost as soon as the bait hit the water. We probably got 15-20 fish on the hook in the 3 hours we were out there so it was definitely worthwhile. Beyond the fishing, you can just tell that Pat is a good egg and he is in this for the love of the sport. We’re definitely going to book with Pat again next time we visit the area.

4 Hour Trip (AM)
Great Experience
Pat put us on a variety of fish, he was very knowledgeable of the area and fish, and also made sure our poles were constantly in the water after catches. The train tracks were definitely a great experience, I wish we would’ve booked longer. Great time!

Pat was knowledgeable, kind, and patient on our trip today. He made sure my 7 year old son was all set up and catching fish left and right. He had a blast! We caught a variety of fish and took some filets home. My son will remember this trip for a long time! We had so much fun and would definitely go again next time we come to Florida. Pat was the best captain, highly recommend!

4 Hour Trip – Big Bait For Big Fish
Great fishing with great conversation
My wife and I did a charter with Captain Pat and we had a great time. caught some trout and grouper. we’re new to the area and captain Pat not only showed us some great spots but also taught us a lot of the reasoning behind fishing there and the techniques we could use in the future. besides the great fishing we also had fun conversation. 100% recommend him for a fun and successful trip!
