Captain
Douglas Klimavich

Member since December 2021 Dennis, United States
Background
Captain Doug has been fishing the waters off of Cape Cod for over 20 years. He loves having the opportunity of introducing saltwater fishing to anyone who hasn't had the chance to fish before. The captain has worked as a commercial fisherman and as a mate on another charter boat for years. He recently retired and decided that it was time to go for his captain's license and start a new chapter in life.
Techniques
Fishing with live bait is one of my favorite methods to fish during the day but night fishing with live eels is an awesome experience that everyone should do at least once in their lifetime. When we're going for big Stripers, wireline jigging is absolutely the most productive and consistent way to fish in the rips around Monomoy. We use a proprietary St. Pete Striper Jig that drives the fish crazy.

As the warm season unfolds, we're ready to provide you with an exhilarating experience on the pristine waters of Cape Cod. Although our first striper trip this year, on 5/13, revealed the offshore waters to be slightly chilly, fear not! We swiftly adapted and turned our attention to the abundant Sea Bass and Tautog fishing. This season, the Black Sea Bass are teeming in unprecedented numbers, promising an incredible angling experience. Mark your calendars for the highly anticipated opening of Black Sea Bass season this Saturday, May 20th. With great excitement, we anticipate a truly exceptional season. Fortunately, we still have some prime trip dates available just for you. Picture yourself on a half-day Sea Bass expedition, brimming with excitement and anticipation for the impressive haul that awaits you. At an unbeatable price of $600, you and your companions can relish in the thrill of landing up to 4 bass per person, while also reeling in up to 40 Scup (Porgy) per person. But that's not all! There's a buzz in the air as massive Stripers make their way through the canal on the Bay Side. It won't be long before they grace our coastlines, ensuring an exhilarating angling encounter. Stay tuned for the thrill of a lifetime as you join us for another exceptional year on the water. Book your trip with St. Pete Sport Fishing today and embark on an adventure that will leave you with unforgettable memories, trophy catches, and a true love for the sea. Don't miss out on this opportunity to indulge your passion for fishing in the most spectacular setting.
