    Half Day Trip – Fishing • 2 adults

    I caught some fish. They were not biting to good. But overall if I get to come back to Port ST. Joe and go fishing again I will be sure to go with Captain Phil. He is very professional and knows where the fish are.

    Capt Phil Experienced and Great Fisherman

    Half Day Trip – Fishing • 2 adults

    While we only were able to keep two mangrove snappers, we were able to catch a lot of fish. Due to the red tide in the bay, a lot of the larger fish fled to healthier waters. Capt Phil made the most of our trip and we tried in numerous spots. He made the experience fun for my son and myself despite the lack of large fish.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks Stephen! I owe you two some fish….cant wait till next time!

What's biting with Phil’s Charter Service in Port St. Joe

As the month progresses, colder conditions gradually start to set in. This is great news for anglers, who usually notice a much better bite from Redfish and Trout. With Flounder also available, it's Slam season once again.
