Spend the day with St Johns River Fishing Charters and see what's biting in East Palatka! Captain Robert will be your guide, bringing aboard years of angling experience.
Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and more inhabit these waters if you come at the right time of year. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Robert also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
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. You're welcome to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 21' Phoenix bass boat with a capacity for 4 passengers. It has a fighting chair and everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation; just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with St Johns River Fishing Charters!
