Matador Deep Sea Fishing 

If you're ready to discover fishing in St. Pete Beach, we've got you covered with Matador Deep Sea Fishing. Your guide for the day is Captain John Kavanagh, bringing aboard years of sportfishing experience.

These waters are known for Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You'll step aboard a 42' H&H with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It's customary to tip the Mate 20% to show your appreciation.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

A few items to bring include bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
