There's a fishing trip with your name on it in St. Petersburg and Captain Andy will help you catch as many as possible!

These waters are known for Tarpon, Gag Grouper, Permit, King Mackerel, Goliath Grouper, Red Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Hogfish, Spanish Mackerel, Black Seabass, Blacktip Sharks, Flounder, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. During the trip you might be bottom fishing, sight fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Captain Andy also offers Fly Fishing if you are interested.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Customers are encouraged to bring food/snacks/drinks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You'll be dropping lines from a 32' Jupiter center console that comfortably holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as hooks/leader/weights. Live bait and dead-bait is also included and provided.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, 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. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, feel free to. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Please contact me to discuss more! I'm happy to provide details about what species are biting and how I expect the fishing to be on any given day.
