Captain Bradley is a St. Augustine native who has grown up fishing the waters here in St. Johns County. After many years of fellow friends and family encouraging me to obtain my captain's license, to live out my dream of becoming a Charter Captain, I did just that! I enjoy taking people out, and teaching them how to fish. My love is Redfish, hearing the rod zig off, and feeling their heads shake the tight line as you reel them in, is no better feeling! If you are interested in having a great time and want some of the best saltwater therapy, book with Captain Bradley today, you won't regret it! Based out of St. Augustine, the main focus is Redfish, Trout, Black Drum, Mangrove Snapper, and Flounder. Depending on the time of year will determine the season for certain species. Any fish meeting the FWC regulations may be kept. The Charter covers up to four people on the boat. Red Augustine Fishing Charters was established in August of 2022 and specializes in inshore charters. This is a kid-friendly charter! Captain Bradley operates out of an 18-foot McKee Craft boat with GPS Navigation and Minn Kota Trolling Motor. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me, I am happy to answer any questions!

    What a great day on the water!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    We had such a good time with Captain Bradley, he was super courteous, professional, above all he put us in the fish big time, I lost count of how many slot redfish we caught and put at least 7 species in the boat. Captain Bradley was great and you can tell that he truly loves what he does. I would recommend anyone to go out with him 100% and we will definitely do it again on our next trip to Northeast Florida!

    Redfish

    Awesome day out with Captain Bradley

    Nearshore bottom fishing • 4 adults

    Had a great time out on a nearshore trip with Captain Bradley. He was prepared with plenty of bait, good tackle, and ice cold water for everyone. He was very knowledgeable and put us on a ton of fish. Big red snapper, mangrove snapper, amberjack, and Gag grouper. All in all it was an awesome trip out, and Captain Bradley is a great dude, highly reccomend.

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper

What's biting with Red Augustine Fishing Charter in St. Augustine

Although this is usually the wettest month of the year, it has some big rewards for anglers. Sailfish can be found balling bait just 25 miles offshore and flood tides inshore make for amazing sight fishing.
