If you plan on fishing in St. Petersburg, look no further than Knot Stressing Charters.

The fish in these waters include Cobia, Flounder, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Grunt, Hogfish, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Snook, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

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. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to keep 'em happy!

You'll be dropping lines from a 24' Everglades center console that holds up to 6 passengers though 4 is recommended. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Justin will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Knot Stressing Charters.

Capt. Justin runs trips out of St. Petersburg aboard 24' Everglades Center console. Using bottom fishing, spinning, trolling, drifting, and other techniques, you'll have a chance to catch Hogfish, Lane Snapper and Cobia. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
