Spend the day with Reel Drag Fishing Charters and let them show you what makes the fishing in St. James City so memorable! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Greg is prepared to put you on fish.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Sheepshead, Snook, Tarpon, and whatever else is biting.

On these trips, you can expect to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites!

Capt. Greg operates an 25ft cc parker that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials.

Capt. Greg has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed.

Your trip with Reel Drag Fishing Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

    Best Charter Yet

    6 hr nearshore on December 11, 2025 • 4 adults

    Gregory was such a great captain to us after a hickup delaying our trip out but making it right! He was super patient when we would have a snag and super interactive the whole trip. Over all a super Guy! Fishing was great, he knew where to find the fish and was able to keep us baited as needed. Caught tons of Blue fish, sheepies, grouper, and a few reds. We had come back into the docks with enough fish to feed 3 families!

    It was a “reel drag”

    4 hr inshore on March 18, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Greg was awesome. He made my two kids really enjoy the trip. Knew where to go to put us on some fish. We consistently caught fish the whole 4 hours we were out there. Boat and equipment was top notch. Definitely getting ahold of him in a month or two when we need another day on the water.
