    Thanks to Captain Jerry and First Mate Jake

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    The Phillips Boys had a blast reeling in king fish and some mackerel and then ate their catches at Conch House right after. The crew was perfect with the boys, teaching them and being kind instead of salty as some have been in the past. I can't recomment the Knot Tied Down experience more. Here are some highlights- https://youtu.be/OmtgOykjWH8.

    Great trip

    11 Hour Trip • 5 adults

    Had booked an offshore trolling charter and as the trip got closer, he recommended switching the charter to bottom fishing due to trolling season was very slow now. Put us ona variety of bottom fish. First mate was top notch. will be booking for trolling next year but earlier in the season. Boat is well designed and comfortable.

    Fantastic trip!

    6 Hour Trip (PM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    God smiled down and gave us a perfect day to fish offshore. Captain Jerry and his mate Jake worked hard to put us on the fish…. and boy did we catch them. Both my son and I have sore arms today! I would highly recommend Knot Tied Down and will certainly be back next season.🎣

    Great trip for novice fishermen

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Capt. Jerry and his first mate were excellent. Very knowledgeable about the area, the available fish and how to catch them. Everything was very efficient, the boat was comfortable and relaxed for our group. Loved every moment.

What's biting with Knot Tied Down Fishing Charters in St. Augustine

As the water temperature cools, big Wahoo start to invade the waters offshore from St Augustine. Troll for them at high speed with heavy lures and catch a monster - they can reach over 50 lbs!
