Turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, and gorgeous weather – this is what you can expect when you come to St. Pete Beach. Whether you’re here for a holiday or an angling adventure, there’s plenty to do. And if you need some professional angling help, St. Pete Beach fishing charters are there to make sure you have a successful day on the water.
Choosing a fishing spot will be a sweet torment, simply because there are so many. Inshore fishing on the grassy flats and backwaters of Tampa Bay will yield anything from Redfish, Trout, and Snook to Bonefish and Sheepshead. Of course, the prize catch is the majestic Tarpon, and the action is so good that it rivals the Boca Grande fishery.
Nearshore waters of the Gulf are teeming with a variety of Snapper and Grouper, Porgy, Cobia, Grunt, Tripletail, Hogfish, as well as a dozen Shark species. If big game fishing is your passion, you are likely to find yourself 30–100 miles from the coast, prowling wrecks and reefs for huge Snapper and Grouper, along with Porgy and Grunt. Your “bycatch” will be Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Sailfish.
If you’re coming here for the first time, local charters are the foolproof way to get the most out of your day on the water. Sportfishing aficionados can fight Tarpon inshore, or book a full day trip and go tackle a Grouper of their life. Beginner anglers and families will have a lot of fun on the Tampa Bay and nearshore waters of the Gulf.
There’s really no limit to what you could catch in St. Pete Beach with a bit of skill and luck on your side!
