Make an adventure out of your next trip in St. Petersburg and go fishing with Simply Reel Inshore Fishing.

Species like Cobia, Flounder, Gag Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the season. You can expect to do some spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Simply Reel Inshore Fishing welcomes kids aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You’ll find yourself aboard a 21’ Mako center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Simply Reel Inshore Fishing and get hooked!
