Local Fishing Insights
St. Petersburg's offshore waters are renowned for their variety of gamefish throughout the year. During summer months, anglers can expect consistent action with species like Mackerel, Tripletail, and occasionally Cobia making appearances. The coastal structure around St. Pete creates perfect habitat for these predatory fish, with reefs, wrecks, and channel edges all holding significant populations.
Captain Michael's local expertise means he understands the seasonal patterns and daily movements of these fish. He'll adjust techniques based on conditions, sometimes employing trolling to cover water when fish are scattered, or switching to precision bottom fishing when they're holding tight to structure. This adaptability is key to success in these waters where conditions can change quickly with tides, weather, and seasons.
