Shallow Seas Charters

Port St. Joe, United States
Veteran owned
50+ reviews
I grew up in South Florida and have fished my entire life. I spent my days on Lake Okeechobee and fishing the east coast of Florida. I served in the Army for 21 years and retired in Port St. Joe, Florida and continued to fish and provide clients with an outstanding outdoors experience on the beautiful St. Joe Bay. I fish inshore for Trout, Redfish, Flounder, and other various inshore species in the Port St. Joe, Florida area using both live and artificial baits.

    A true Captain who's crew comes first!

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    The Captains goal was to cast for bait, get on the water, and have you catching fish as soon as possible. We were and we did! He was educational, persanable, and clear about what we as clients needed to do to catch fish! He never hesitated to move when the "catching" slowed and everywhere he stoped, we caught fish! I would never hesitate to fish under his dirction and guidance.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

    Half day with shallow seas charter

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    We were looking for someone experienced and someone with patience for a half day fishing trip with 3 young girls. We found Lee and it was everything we could had hoped for! Lee is from the lake okeechobee area, he knows fishing- also has been in Port St Joe area for a good while. He put us on a variety of fish. We caught reds,blues,and trout. Also saw and caught some shark. The best part was is patience with the kids. He made the trip fun for them. They are still talking about it. Highly recommended Thanks again for everything Lee-

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Captain Lew was very professional and knew how to catch fish. The boat was a good size and our hooks were always baited or catching fish. It was a great time.

What's biting with Shallow Seas Charters in Port St. Joe

September is prime time for scalloping in the grass beds of St. Joseph Bay. Make sure to bring your snorkeling gear if you come at this time of year, as the waters are just right for taking a dip. Fishing remains good, too.

The redfish bite in St Joe Bay has been on fire! Great action fishing the winter patterns. Pompano and Sheepshead are starting to show up in good numbers. Live shrimp have been the preferred bait.

The temperature is cooler but the fishin

Nov 13, 2019 • Port St. Joe
The temperature in our area is cooler but the fishing is as hot as ever! Trout, redfish, and flounder are moving into deeper water where it’s warmer. Artificial soft baits and live shrimp fished in the moving brackish water have been producing several nice fish.

The redfish bite has been great the past few weeks. The action has been steady on the shallow bay flats with shrimp and finger mullet being the bait of choice.
