Fish the Inshore Waters of Historic St. Augustine Like a Local.

Step aboard Reel Spooled Charters and fish the productive inshore waters of St. Augustine with a captain who knows them inside and out. Whether you're targeting hard-fighting Redfish, chasing Spotted Seatrout, or hooking into seasonal runs of Flounder and Tarpon, every trip is customized to current conditions for the best possible bite.

Captain Trever uses years of on-the-water experience to consistently put clients on fish. You'll fish proven areas - from shallow flats to hidden backwater creeks - that most visitors never reach. 3
guest total or reach out if you are looking to add a 4th guest!

This trip is perfect for:
• Beginners looking for a hands-on, productive introduction to fishing (great for kids)
• Families wanting a fun, stress-free day on the water
• Experienced anglers chasing quality fish or a personal best

You'll be fishing from a 20' flats boat built for skinny water - giving you access to areas larger boats simply can't reach, where the fish feed most.

All rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and your fishing license are included. Just show up ready to fish.

Kids are always welcome, and trips can be adjusted to keep things engaging and fun for all ages. Let us know their ages so we can ensure we have life vests for their size.

    Best Fishing Trip

    3 Hour Trip - Inshore on June 27, 2026 • 2 adults

    This was the greatest trip for me and my son. My son’s goal was to catch a red fish and he made sure that happened! We were able to catch lots of flounder and other types as well. He showed us around as we drove through the channels. It was just an overall great experience and we will be back! Great customer service, definitely an above and beyond expectations experience.

    If you want a fun trip and catch the fish, call captain Trevor! My son had a blast catching fish, swapping tall tales and learing from him. He was patient and very knowledgeable. Would go every weekend with him if he could!

    3 Hour Trip - Inshore - 2:30 PM on April 11, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captian Trever is a knowledgeable fisherman. He really knew the waters around St Augustine and where to land the fish. My wife and I took our 6 year old. He loved it and Captian Trever was so patient with him and taught him some great skills. We can not wait to book our next charter with him. We highly recomend this charter.

Fun trip
4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 2:00 PM on September 19, 2026 • 2 adults

The fishing was slow today, did catch 9 or 10 small ones. Trevor did everything he could to find them and get them to bite but, you can only do so much. He even kept us out way past our 4 hours. Going back out with him in December. I highly recommend him!
