What would you recommend to anglers fishing in St. Petersburg, Florida for the first time?

Wear a good sun screen and sneakers so you don’t burn the tops of your feet. Andy has a cooler filled with ice so you can keep your drinks cold

Go fishing at night time yall! It’s cooler out and Andy had us on the big boys

Bring sunscreen and water. Plan your trip during a time that the tide is coming in or out.

Consistent action, check out Captain Greg with Pura Vida charters. He will put you on fish.

Wear layers with good comfortable non skid shoes and bring sunscreen. Pack simple lunches and drinks as well.

I would say it’s pretty good. The day we went was a bit windy but still it was really fun and we caught our limit of fish.

Great place for fishing, but weather at this time of the year can be a bit tricky, so allocate enough time to potentially reschedule.

Listen to your guide. Capt Torin worked hard and had a lot of local knowledge. My wife was not fishing but had a blast. 3 fishermen had fun!

Go to the mangroves if this is your first time fishing here. Get some snook or redfish after landing some trout.

Be prepared to deal with tricky winds, but otherwise tell your Captain "Take me your honey holes" and be ready for some for some rod-bending action.

My son and I caught a lot of fish throughout our time with Captain Mark. I would highly recommend his charter for anyone!!

Ask your captain what your options are for what is biting at the time and the style of fishing you’d like to do and they’ll put you on the fish.

We are a little early for some fish, I would come a little later in the season. That being said we had an awesome time!

Take a charter with Capt. Dylan Baker. He will cater to your abilities. You will have a great time, we did. Staying on the intercoastal and on Tampa bay was a wonderful experience, great variety.

February isn’t the best time to fish in Tampa bay but Dylan made sure we caught some great fish and had a blast!

Fish will bend the rod this time of year, but chances at a bigger size are low. I didn't catch anything big enough to eat but had a great time with numbers hooked and reeled in.

Captain Jeff did a great job on our fishing trip. We highly recommend him for anyone who’d like to go bay fishing.

Yes. We actually brought down a small boat and did very well fishing on our own for Speckled Trout and Sheepshead.

Water in December is cold, so be patient, the fish will come to you. Especially with captain Torin, he knows the “sweet”spots for some great catches

It can be slow in the winter as most of the big fish/fun fish like tarpon are not in season but there’s plenty of little fish to catch!

Listen to your captain and unless you truly plan on eating the fish you catch release them so the fish stocks can improve.

WE had a great day fishing in Tampa-St Pete with one more charters. Lots of fish and a GREAT Captain!

Wear sun protection clothes and stay hydrated. Captain Andy was kind enough to include water and snacks on the trip.

Always check with your captain ahead of your trip to make sure you have everything you need for your trip.

Take a trip with Captain Andy, the best service and result delivery: happy time, catching fish, seeing dolphins, learning about the local manners., etc.

It's very hot and the bite is not consistent. Be open to trying new techniques and definitely book a charter for the morning!

It was hot. We came prepared for the heat so it wasn't a big deal. Had we not, it would have been miserable.

Fishing out of John’s Pass in July was hot! We went off shore (a 25 minute boat ride) and it paid off with lots of fish.

Check what fish you’re hoping for is legal and if not, be willing to adjust your expectations accordingly. There are plenty of fish in the sea to make a good meal from. Tight lines!

I would recommend bringing good company and just being willing to be flexible and do what the fish are doing the most.
