What a Day of St. Augustine Sport Fishing Looks Like

Sport fishing in St. Augustine, FL starts at our own dock, the one every Endless Summer trip leaves from. If you're staying in town, you're already close. Meet Capt. Bill at the boat, stow the cooler, and we idle toward the inlet. A St. Augustine fishing charter really begins once we're through it.

After that, the trip length decides the plan. Short runs work the nearer reefs. Longer ones push out for offshore trolling and deeper bottom spots. The mate keeps baits in the water while Capt. Bill picks the next stop.

Back at the dock, we fillet the keepers. Anyone looking up sport fishing near me from a hotel room in town can see charter rates by trip length and plan around the hours they have.

Call (904) 501-7374 to reserve a date.

Deep Sea Fishing Charters in St. Augustine, FL

The season decides a lot of what bites off St. Augustine. Here's the rough calendar we fish by when we head out the inlet.

Spring into summer, Mahi-Mahi are the main event on St. Augustine deep sea charters. Red Snapper opens for a short federal season, usually in summer. As the water cools, Wahoo and Sailfish turn up more often, and on calm winter days we stay on the bottom for Grouper, Snapper and Cobia.
