4-Hour VIP Guided Beach Surf Fishing Trip

$480 | 4 Hours | Up to 2 Guests Included | Maximum 6 Guests

Booking required at least 24 hours before your trip's start time.

Enjoy four hours of private beach surf fishing near Madeira Beach and St. Petersburg, Florida, with dedicated coaching from Gary. Choose to fish on the beach behind your hotel or at another beach location in the area. Tell us your preferred spot when you contact us, and we'll confirm the fishing location and meeting arrangements before you pay.

This experience welcomes families, vacationers, and anglers of all skill levels. It's a land-based trip, not a boat excursion. Your fishing setup will be rigged and ready when you arrive.

After confirming availability, follow the link and select Add to cart on the additional-guest page. Quantity 1 covers one additional guest; choose quantity 1–4 to match your extra guest count. Purchase this add-on alongside your 4-hour guided trip booking.

Optional Trophy Spec Upgrade — $160 for Two Guests

Upgrade two guests' setups with heavy-duty, large-wire hooks and fluorocarbon leaders for targeting trophy snook and redfish when the season and conditions are suitable. Premium, hand-picked jumbo shrimp replace the regular-size shrimp supplied for those two guests, with no additional bait charge beyond the $160 upgrade. One upgrade covers two guests, not the entire group. Confirm any upgrade arrangements for additional participants with the owners before ordering.

Seasonal fishing note: Snook generally move off the beaches during winter, so beach snook fishing is not a year-round expectation. Target species vary with the season and conditions, and catches are not guaranteed.
