St. Augustine / Palm
Coast
Guided region/area - NORTHEAST FL
Serving the majestically historic
backcountry marshes, bays, and near costal
waters of St. Augustine and surrounding waters south to Palm Coast, and
north to Ponte Vedra, including the Guana Lake.
Service description - The vast
expanse of backcountry marsh, oyster spoils, and mangroves of the historic
St. Augustine area offer the fly and light tackle enthusiast a classic
chance at heart pounding, knee knocking fishing that is comparable with the
b etter known fisheries throughout the state. (Try to keep it a secret!)
Whether it’s quietly
stalking oversized, sunning redfish laid
up in extremely shallow water, or confronting giant tarpon devo uring their
prey, your trip on these historic backcountry waters will be one for the
memory books. Spend a day at the serenity of the marsh where deer, hogs,
otters, eagles, dolphins and manatees will be the only competition around.
I am eager to work equally as hard for the beginner as I do for the
seasoned veterans, with patience, instruction, and always a sense of humor.

The time of year, tide
level and species sought determines the type of fishing that may be done.
Under the right conditions we could:
1. Use the push pole
to move onto a shallow bay sight casting
to individual or schools of fish feeding along the spartina grass, or oyster
bars.
2. Motor into a creek
and fish deep holes in bends and around oyster bars, tight quarters, but at
times very rewarding
3. On higher tides, fish flooded oyster bars or pole down sandy shorelines
looking for cruising or laid up fish is another option.
4. In the summer we
may be fishing bait schools crowded into tight dark clouds from the
predators feeding on them. (Tarpon, Huge redfish, Cobia, Sharks, Spanish,
Jacks, and Bluefish.)
5. We may target
certain species around docks pilings or other structures possibly causing
embarrassing ass-whuppins’ (occasional big fish lost to the barnacles).
Max of 3 people per
inshore trip, 2 person max on fly fishing.
What to bring: Sunscreen, Hat, Polarized Sunglasses,
snacks, soda.
