4-Hour Guided Wade Fishing Trip

Price: $480.00 | Duration: 4 Hours | Guests: Up to 2 People Included | Maximum Group Size: 6

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

Leave the beach chair at home and get in the water. Step onto the grass flats and mangrove shorelines for a fully set-up, private guided wade fishing trip in St. Pete, FL. We fish primarily for snook, redfish, and speckled trout, with the possibility of flounder, mangrove snapper, black drum, and sheepshead. Designed for families, vacationers, and anglers of all skill levels, this trip pairs you with local coaching while you wade some of our favorite inshore spots. This is a land-based wading trip, not a boat excursion.

Your guide picks the location. We have many good wade fishing spots on the grass flats and mangrove shorelines of St. Pete, FL, and we choose the best one for your trip based on your date, the time, and the tides. You drive yourself to the spot and meet your guide there. The exact meeting location is confirmed before you pay.

Your dedicated guide, Gary, will have your fishing setup rigged and ready when you arrive.

Confirm Your Date Before Paying

All trips must be booked at least 24 hours in advance. Email us for questions, reservations, and availability: sunshinecityoutfitters@gmail.com or Johanasunshinecityoutfitters@gmail.com.

What's Included

• Expert guidance: Four hours of dedicated coaching, casting instruction, and local wade-fishing knowledge from Gary.
• Premium hardware: Two high-quality wade fishing rod-and-reel combos loaded with fresh line.
• All terminal tackle: Hooks, weights, swivels, and leader lines.
• Premium lures and artificial baits: Proven in these areas.
• Creature comforts: Individual mobile bait buckets.
• Complimentary bait: Sixteen dozen regular-size live shrimp, supplied at no extra charge.
• The supply kayak: Gary pulls a supply kayak on every trip, loaded with gear, bait, and any drinks and snacks you bring, so everything stays dry and nothing weighs you down while you fish. If you get tired or want out of the water for a bit, you can take a break right away whenever you need one.
• Portable changing station: For your convenience and privacy, Sunshine City Outfitters provides a portable changing station so you can change into fresh clothes after your trip.

Additional Guests — $125 Per Person

Up to two guests are included in the $480.00 booking price. Add up to four additional guests, for a maximum of six guests total. Each additional guest costs a flat $125 for the 4-hour trip and receives one extra premium rod, full terminal tackle, and an extra four dozen regular-size live shrimp at no extra charge. Mention your additional guests when you email to confirm your date so we can have their gear ready.

Optional Trophy Spec Upgrade — Additional $160 for Two Guests

Upgrade to heavy-duty, large-wire hooks and fluorocarbon leaders for targeting trophy fish. One $160 upgrade covers two guests and replaces those two guests' complimentary regular-size shrimp with premium, hand-picked jumbo shrimp at no additional bait charge. Additional guests are not included in this $160 upgrade. Mention the Trophy Spec upgrade when you email to confirm your date.

What to Bring

• A full change of clothes for after the trip
• A towel
• Footwear matters: an old pair of sneakers, no holes, with full foot coverage that won't pull off in the sand. Crocs won't cut it, and boots get too heavy and waterlogged.
• Polarized sunglasses (they make a real difference spotting fish)
• Sunscreen
• Drinks and snacks (Gary stashes them in the supply kayak to keep them dry)
• A hat
