Great Location
Get down to Gulfport, Florida, and embark on an nearshore or offshore fishing adventure with Scotty J’s Charters, a veteran owned and family operated company. Launching out of Gulfport Municipal Marina, their location gives them quick and easy access to the prime fishing waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Out on the water daily, they keep a finger on the pulse and are always up-to-date on fishing conditions.
What We Ride
You’ll be riding out into the Florida sun on a 2022, 30’ Sea Hunt Game-Fish center console with plenty of room for up to 6 passengers. The Scotty J is powered by twin 300 horsepower Yamaha outboards. Onboard the boat you’ll find up-to-date Garmin fish finder and chart plotter, radar equipment, 3 live bait wells, and iceboxes to keep your beverages chilled. There’s also a flushable private toilet on board.
Where To Fish / What We Catch
Offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, depending on the season and length of your trip you will travel 10-40miles offshore. You will have the opportunity to chase King Mackerel, Cobia, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, American Red Snapper, Hog Fish and a variety of different sharks’ and bottom species. Depending on season and species you will either troll, drift or anchor over productive structure.
If nearshore is your interest, you are just a short boat ride away from some incredible fishing in the nearshore waters 3-10 miles off the coast of St Petersburg or Anna Maria Island. There are many numerous rock piles or ledges that hold a variety of fish to assure you of a great opportunity for great day on the water.
Just Another Day Fishing
Catching a massive grouper or King Mackerel while fishing with us certainly is rewarding, there’s a lot more to charter fishing than hooking a big one. Even if you come back empty-handed, you still can have fun and memories that will last a lifetime.
