St. James City Mangrove Snapper Fishing Charters

If you're looking for something longer than the regular half day trip, this might be just what you need. This will leave you with more time for fishing or going further out to the wrecks and reefs if that's what you want. Expect to fish for Redfish, Snook, Trout, Sheepshead, Snapper, and many more. Bait, tackle, and a cooler with ice and bottled waters are all included. Bring some snacks and drinks, polarized sunglasses, and sunscreen (just make sure to bring lotion/roll-on and not spray-type sunscreen).

This is an extended version of our 8 hr trip! We focus on targeting the coveted Red Grouper. These bottom dwellers, nicknamed the "firetruck", live up to their name! They hit hard and pack a punch! You go toe to toe with them as they do everything they can to get back to their hole. We like to call it the 10 ft tug of war.. Will it beat you and get back to its hole, breaking you off...or will you be the victor who brings this tasty fish up off the bottom? Book now & lets find out! Highly Recommend!

With a couple more hours on the water, you can hit a greater range of habitats to target an even more diverse range of species. Alternatively, you can head straight to the most productive areas around and fill the boat with enough fish to feed an army.

Create your own personalized island adventure while still taking advantage of Capt. Matt's local knowledge and expertise!

Matt know what you'd like to do. Extra Hours can also be added ($100/hour if available) All Licenses, Gear, Bait, Tackle, Ice, and necessary safety equipment included.

Spending more time on the water means you'll be there during the tides and ready for the fish rush hour. Use this to catch different species or test out which technique works best.
