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

Surf fishing brought in some keeper pompano, whiting & another party had shark prior to our charter trip. Unfortunately weather was tough & fish in the bay were just not interested in artificial bait at all with us landing only 2 undersize flounder (on the captains rig that he was using to attempt to get us on fish using the top techniques possible - instead of our amateur casting just chasing off fish) on our charter.

Sorry, but I must say, do not use FishingBooker. It appears to be a totally turn key app with no human involvement unless you contact Customer Service. The algorithm or whatever just doesn't work right. Customer service did respond and refund my deposits as requested, but the response usually takes overnight. This thing just doesn't work right. Capt. Evans was fine.

If you can fish in the bay during red snapper season, then it can be fun, especially if you can do pontoon fishing. Avoid deep seas fishing in one of the undersized boats that advertise as the seas are too choppy for them.

Get out early and beat the heat. Be patient. Plenty of water in tow and be ready to get wet. Fun trip.

The only thing I would recommend is to hire Captain Scooter if you want to catch fish!

Indian Pass! That's where you want to begin your fishing adventure! Call on Shawn Chalker!! Bar Hoppin Charters!

Capt Trey works with "kids rodeo" and can teach the inexperienced how to catch fish!
