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

I liked the fish trip but the area is experiencing red tide at this time the captain found some good eater and put us on some fish. Can't say enough about the crew to work hard to make all of the passengers and fisherman happy. Thanks to them every one caught fish

Capt and crew were very helpful and responsive to the clients. The trip went very well I took my 11 year old son and Grandpa and we had a good time. We did not catch a boat load of fish but it was a good time.

We really enjoyed the charter and had a great time, but the captain smoked throughout the trip and the first mate smoked some as well and on the way back one of the customers started smoking too. I not trying to complain, but smoke tends to bother me and the vessel was clearly marked no smoking.

Pay attention that this is actually the Captain you are fishing with and not someone that is subletting out your trip.

Still caught some fish despite the red tide that took a toll on local fish populations.

If you are a serios fisherman looking to catch medium or large fish this is not the boat you choose

Bring your own bait. They provide squid and octopus pieces. You catch fish but it's the same kind and usually small.

Start with 1/2 day if you have smaller children. They were a little bored waiting to drop their lines on way out. But at least we saw several dolphins along the way back that swam along the boat

BOOK WITH FISHING BOOKER. WAS EASIER WITH NO SMALL CHILDREN. DRESS IN LAYERS AND HAVE A GREAT TIME

Take Dramamine an hour before you go and pack it with you. Roll your sleeves up. Wear warm clothes and layers. Have a great time!! So fun!!

It was our first time fishing, we had a blast, caught some good size fish, just make sure you have a place to cook the fish!

Bring layers...just because it is warm on the beach, when you go into the gulf it is always cooler. Enjoy the trip....5 hours goes by a lot faster than you would think.

Go on the fishing charter with Captain Mike, you will have a great fishing experience.

Research the most likely fish to be caught according to season and book accordingly.

Find old docks in public areas and bottom fish with a small hook tipped with shrimp.

Do the all day trip and gor for the big catch..Gulf fishing is all its built to be!
