St. Augustine has a fish with your name on it, so let Ridin ' Dirty salt water charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Rick is prepared to put you on fish.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Banded Rudderfish, Great Barracuda, Cero Mackerel, Cobia, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Almaco Jack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Amberjack, Sailfish, and whatever else takes the bait.

You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Capt. Rick operates a 25' Center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

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.

Some essentials to bring are bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

I got my start 15 years ago fishing the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River for Striped Bass in my 1998 Bayliner Trophy. I moved to Florida to escape the cold, bought a center console boat, and I've been fishing offshore ever since. There's something about bluewater fishing that, once it grabs hold of you, never lets go.

Real catches by this captain

  • Angler proudly displaying a large fish while on a boat in open water, showcasing a successful fishing trip.
    Bottom fishing was tuff with the moon phase. Hooked up on some nice ones that broke us off in the wreck. However we were able to get on some nice amber jacks.
