If you want to catch fish, Capt Al and Ethan are the way to go! They work hard and know where to go!

Bottom fishing for flounder proved to be productive! Snagged some decent size blues in the process as well

The inshore trip was good fishing and also got to see the attractions from a different viewpoint

From our understanding fish are still out a ways in April but come closer once it warms up. Wind in April sometimes makes it hard to get out. We got lucky and had a very calm day!

Be open to what the captain has planned for you. They are the professionals.

Snappers cannot be taken, they are catch and release, This surprised me. I would recommend an all day trip or at least a 6 hr day so you can get out to the sportfish.

I'd recommend a shorter trip for first time charter fishing. This way you can see how people react to the motion of the water because its certainly a unique feeling that can get people motion sickness. If you do well, then a longer trip is in your future as ate bigger fish!

Going out with Captain Rob would be fine for first-timers or experienced fishermen. He knows the spots where the fish are and is able to teach the skills to catch them.

It was a bit cold so we didn't have luck in a few of the places. The wind on the river was really cold but once the sun came out it was much better.

Yes, get a good guide and it will be a great experience. I have also been catching smaller fish from the shore.

Take a Red Snapper trip. Only once a year for 3 days for Atlantic Season, but we’ll worth the trip.

Stay up to date on the weather, book as early as possible in the morning, as the days can be very warm there. Also, call the captain if possible and review what you should bring with you, such as food, snacks, etc.
Be clear as to what is included for the price of the charter. our captain was very good at this, so there was no misunderstanding on the matter.

Fishing was good once we got on them. we kept Spanish Mackeral but also caught blue and black drum. It was too rough to venture near shore outside the harbor so we worked the channels and the bridges

I would but you have to keep an eye on the cooler day, and would do a inter coastal , when the nigh temp
don't drop too much and make the fishing harder because of the colder water,
and check out reports on the web and talk with Capt. Guy Spear he would be the best in this area
Capt. Guy would give you a great shot at fishing for the first time in St. Augustine

Fish in the morning, when possible. Afternoon thunderstorms are common and dangerous.

We did not catch any keepers. Capt. Zach made the best of things to make it a pleasurable adventure.
