keep in mind that the number and size of the fish available are reduced because of the red tide of 2018, especially the in-shore fish like snapper, sea bass, snook etc. still very much fun

Weather in March can be a little chilly on the open water, but really warm by the mangroves so definitely dress in layers. Book it...it's worth every penny!

I highly recommend Captain Torin Clark and fishing the intercostal waters in St Petersburg

We did good but could have been better with cooler water but that’s fishing in July in Florida.

Summer is hot and humid, be prepared with lots of sunscreen, UV protective t-shirt and hat.

If you come in July have extra sunscreen and long sleeve fishing shirts are a must.

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.

Call the charters to see what fish are biting at this time of year before booking

Don’t expect too much on a 2 hour tour. Be realistic, and know you will still have a great time.

Pay a little money for a charter because the water is shallow and·lots of sandbars.
