St Johns River Fishing Charters
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.

6 Hour Trip (AM) on October 25, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain Robert was fantastic! He took us right to where the fish were biting and made sure everyone had a chance to catch fish. We had an absolute blast out on the water! He made the whole experience fun, exciting, and memorable from start to finish. If you’re looking for a great fishing trip with a captain who knows what he’s doing and makes sure you have a good time, I highly recommend Captain Robert. We can’t wait to go again!

best guided trip ive ever had!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 11, 2026 • 2 adultswe met at 7am in palatka. robert had everything ready to go including all the equipment and we got going right away. we checked a close by spot, but nothing was biting do he took is near this dock where i caught a bunch of bass including several fiesty 4 lb ones! after a while we moved on. i told him it was the best day ive had and it was a 9/10 only because i didnt get a pbr. my pbr is 5lb. so he wss determined to find a big one and made every effort. we didnt find the big one this time but i had a great time, caught lots of fish and got to see up and downriver riding around in his nice boat. very fast and well appointed with all the best fishfinders and a spot lock trolling motor. he was super accomodating and patiently answered all my fishing and boating questions. he even replied to my text later on regarding which new combo to buy for next time. definitely going again!

Mike StiversRepeat angler5.0VerifiedOk day fishing.
8 Hour Trip (AM) on March 20, 2026 • 2 adultsI fish to catch fish, I also understand that the weather has a great effect on fishing. Bluebird days like today are among the toughest. But Captain T overcame this and we put several fish in the boat. But the gem on my trip was talking with someone who caught the fishing bug and has a true passion for it. You could not be in better hands with Cap. Peter T and you might learn a thing or 2. Tight Lines 🎣

Robert StephensRepeat angler4.7VerifiedGreat Time Fishing St John’s River
4 Hour Trip (AM) on January 21, 2026 • 2 adultsMy charter with Robert Stumpe on St John’s River was great! He took me to multiple spots and got us on the fish. I caught several despite the fact that it was 41 degrees when we launched. Robert definitely knows the river and helped me catch my first Florida bass! Thanks for a great time.
