Charter Trips Deep Sea Fishing
Deep Sea Fishing Charters in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
Deep sea trips booked from Ponte Vedra Beach head out the St. Augustine Inlet and keep going until the water turns blue. The longer the charter, the farther offshore Capt. Bill can take you.
On an 8 or 10 hour day, the morning often goes to trolling for Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo or Tuna and the afternoon to bottom spots holding Grouper, Snapper and Cobia.
