    Perfect Day in January 2026

    Half Day Trip (4-5hrs) • 2 adults

    Captain Larson made our day of fishing relaxing and fun! He knew what kind of fish was bitting by the way the pole was acting. Since we flew to Florida he suggested we go to Chuck’s Seafood in Fort Pierce, they will cook it for you, which was a great experience. Chuck’s did an excellent on preparing the fish!

    Reported catch:
    Pompano

    I wanted to plan a great fishing trip for my parents who are in their late 70s to target snook. The captain worked very hard all morning to make sure we each caught fish and had a great time! We can’t wait to set up another trip in the future with him… Highly recommend this captain! Great boat and equipment.

    Thought that this was a deep sea fishing experience but it was a regular river fishing trip. Was nice overall but I should’ve researched a little better. That was my fault but I would recommend it. It was fun nevertheless

What's biting with First Nature Guide Service in Fort Pierce

Redfish fishing is seriously hot in November, so come see if you can hook yourself a Bull! Snook fishing in the inlets adds to the inshore action. Offshore, Sailfish are traveling south, looking to feed.
