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

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.

A good captain can find fish any time of the year, but Summers are hot. I recommend morning trips in the Summer

It’s definitely hot, but not unbearable. I’d recommend proper sun protection and be sure to pack plenty of water.

Check the tide charts if your going inshore make sure you time your trip for when the tide is in between low and high tide

The fish were biting and Capt. Jeff was super knowledgeable, patient and kind! Just a wonderful experience!

Research the fishing trips that you want to book. We researched thoroughly and got an awesome guide ??

It is hot in June! Dress and drink appropriately! Be open to different species of fish as alot are on the move!

Call the captains and book directly for a better experience and more details about what you want and what the offer.

Fishing was a little slow. Dylan description was honest to just plan a good day on the water and not necessarily an awesome fishing day

Be prepared to change your target species several times during an outing. You can never tell what school you'll encounter over any particular structure.

This was our first time fishing in St. Pete. Best day! So many different kinds of fish. Learned different fishing techniques. One of the best trips I have taken.

There’s fish to be had, and nice ones at that, but general consensus seems to be it really picks up starting in April.
