San Petersburgo Fishing Reports

Make sure you feel good overall; you are miles from the shoreline;go to the restroom before you get in the boat. Have some snacks with you and water.

Start out with fresh cut bait and if you land a ladyfish use her as cut bait they hit that every time it hit the water

In some spots the fish were practically jumping on the boat and in other spots we couldn't catch anything. Be patient.

Ask alot of questions before you book. What you can and can't keep , if you have a certain fish you want to catch if it is in season ask if your Charter has the proper license and tags for what you are fishing for.

Get out there by boat!! The shore is really over fished and unless it's running it'll be pin fish and cat fish for sure. Use a great guide and get out there and have a great experience.

keep in mind that the number and size of the fish available are reduced because of the red tide of 2018, especially the in-shore fish like snapper, sea bass, snook etc. still very much fun

perfect for the sport fisherman, currently a red tide ban on keeping certain fish to eat

Give it a try, it's fun and a great way to explore the bay and all the amazing wildlife.

Enjoy the day and being on the water. The bite may be great or maybe it won’t...but St. Petersburg will always have better fishing tomorrow! :-)

Weather in March can be a little chilly on the open water, but really warm by the mangroves so definitely dress in layers. Book it...it's worth every penny!

Don't do the big party fishing boats. Book ahead with your local captains for your best fishing. And I will be booking another trip with Captain Hank at Deep Color fishing charters!!

If you just want to catch fish target Jack and ladyfish away from structure with live shrimp - less snags

I would expect fishing to be better than when we went out. Our outing was right after the worst red tide in 50 years had just cleared up.

Wait for the bites, they will come. I would say we experienced a bite at least every five minutes.

Make sure to follow advice of your captain and they will get you hooking fish

Well worth an fishing trip with an experienced Captian who knows the waters and where to catch fish. Captian Ted is great with families and young children.

Great experience! We caught big fish in calm waters! Couldn’t have asked for a better time!

Arrive eager to learn and you will catch fish.. a lot of sunscreen and water to drink

Good fishing conditions, however the full moon and tides should be monitored closely. Early morning or night trips would be best this time of year.

If your looking for the fishing adventure/experience of a lifetime then get in touch with the guy's of Big Daddy Charter's. I've been fortunate enough to have fished throughout the Gulf of Mexico. From the shores of Galveston, TX to the southern most tip of islamorada and these guy's are the best I've seen at what they do when it comes to making sure that when you book a fishing trip with them it'll surely be the experience of a lifetime......
