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

I would but you have to keep an eye on the cooler day, and would do a inter coastal , when the nigh temp don't drop too much and make the fishing harder because of the colder water, and check out reports on the web and talk with Capt. Guy Spear he would be the best in this area Capt. Guy would give you a great shot at fishing for the first time in St. Augustine

As this was our first time, I highly reccomend a fishing tour on a small scale like Shark Infested Tours. Our guide took the time to explain everything and took time to give one on one instructions. The boat was new, clean and our Captain was an active firefighter. I usually dont give "excellent" reviews but on this trip I will, because it was so much fun and well worth the money spent.

Bring a good attitude along with sun screen, hat, clothing that dries quickly in case of rain or ocean spray. Bring snacks of your choosing and a camera. Captain Troy will find the fish and the equipment to catch them and get ready for a wonderful day on the ocean.

The go to fishing charter is Captain Guy aboard the Mistress. He's a Veteran, and the level of professionalism, knowledge and emphasis on safety is second to none. He knows where and how to catch fish, even if nobody else is catching them.

We did not catch any keepers. Capt. Zach made the best of things to make it a pleasurable adventure.

Fish in the morning, when possible. Afternoon thunderstorms are common and dangerous.

Just go for it, Fish were closer in than back home in North Carolina. I will be checking best time of year to fish here and return.

We were catching tuna, King, and shark. It was great fun and I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone. Take this boat with this caption and you will have a great time.

check out the shoreline sights as you motor out. The fort and the huge cross are awesome on the shoreline

The first time I did ANY kind of saltwater fishing was with Captain Adam, and there is no doubt in my mind that any time I return to St. Augustine.... I WILL be calling him!

Let the pros do it! They provide all the gear, licenses, bait and know where to go and what to use.

Get a boat with a/c in mid months not for morning out but coming in. You will be hot and tiered! Great place to visit and fish!!!

Had a great time on water. Would definitely go again but all day rathr than half day would be more fun and catch more fish. Great time.

Check the forecast. Don't be afraid to stay in shore if you can't get offshore. You will have a great experience, when you're willing to trust your captain and crew!

October may not be the best time due to fish patterns, but it was still a blast.

If you're looking for big fish, go offshore but inshore is a great experience to start

Great experience; very professional; communication was great and prompt. Highly recommend.

Book with Shallow Water Fishing Company you will not be disappointed it is a great day of fishing

Great place and really beautiful. Lots a places to fish. Just prepare for a regular trip.

Told we would catch cobia and mackeral. We caught sand trout. Had agreat time anyway.
