Deep Sea Fishing Saint Petersburg

Table of Contents

Tuna Tuesday! The offshore fishing bite in the Gulf of Mexico remains very hot with a lot of different species to target. We have seen many pelagic species coming in close to shore the past few weeks catching tuna, cobia and small mahi mahi around the artificial reefs and areas of hard bottom. The Mangrove Snapper spawn is also in full effect seeing big numbers grouping up over ledges and rock piles. These fish can be targeted using light spinning outfits with chunks of sardines. Back inshore we have been catching lots of Spanish Mackerel, Tarpon and Sharks around the rock piles inside of Tampa Bay. Beach fishing for large breeder Snook and Trout has also been rewarding. Look for the action to remain strong through the end of the summer with the early mornings and late afternoons being the best times to fish. #YACHTFISH #saintpetersburg #fishingcharters #tampabay #summertime #kidswhofish #dtsp #thingstodostpetebeach #fishingguide #familytime #vacation

I cannot recommend Yatchfish St. Petersburg enough! Captain Sam was fantastic - he made sure we had a memorable fishing experience by guaranteeing us fish, and he did not disappoint on a crisp February morning. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and Captain Sam's knowledge of the local waters was impressive. We had an incredible time hooking hogfish, grouper and snapper. We absolutely had a blast out on the water. If you're looking for a top-notch fishing charter in St. Petersburg, look no further than Yatchfish. Five stars all the way!

Nice guides. But for the money we spent for 4 hrs it was a bust. $650 for 2 small sharks. What a waste of money.

My family and I went out with Yachtfish this past weekend with Capt. Nick, and I can honestly say the trip was perfect from start to finish. Great boat, equipment, and weather. We caught red drum, speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, jacks, and a ton of snook. Capt. Nick was very patient with my young son (fascinated by all of the greenbacks and pinfish in the livewell), and made sure this first trip was special for him. We will be going again!

Our family recently had a fantastic 6-hour inshore charter in St Petersburg with Captain Johnny and First Mate Cooper! They were very professional and knowledgeable of the area, and put on us fish almost the entire time. After a slow start in the mangroves we moved out to a number of grass flats and channel structure where we did well on bonnethead sharks (4), trout, and a few pin fish. In the early afternoon, we had an exciting flurry of Spanish mackerel and caught one after the other! I highly recommend Yahchtfish for your next charter. We will definitely be back for more!
