When you're visiting St. Augustine there are a few things you just cannot miss. Kayaking tours, sightseeing, charter fishing and the St. Augustine bed and breakfast experience. Fishing in the area is second to none. There are a wide variety of fish here, anything from a sea trout or redfish to a flounder or tarpon.

Chartering a boat allows the angler some good options. Let the captain motor you out to some of the best deep sea fishing in the world. Maybe you've always wanted to fly-fish for tarpon, here's your chance let your guide show you the best spots. You may want to relax under the warm Florida sun while letting the boat do the fishing for you as it trolls your line through the endless species of fish. Remember to be upfront with your guide. Tell him what type of fish you want to catch and what kind of fishing you want to do. This will ensure that you get exactly the type of experience you want. Upon request, your guide will clean your catch for you, this way you'll be all ready to cook the fish up. Book your trip early, fishing excursions are popular and you don't want to miss out.

A great way to leave the crowds behind and find some good spots on your own is by booking a kayak fishing tour. Some days you'll have long stretches of intercoastal water all to yourself. A variety of species and spectacular scenery make kayak fishing tours a favorite amongst fishermen everywhere. The same rule for chartering a fishing boat applies to booking a kayak fishing trip: be upfront with your guide about what you hope to catch and your skill level. Kayaking excursions go quickly so book these ahead of time just like you would with a charter.

There's something in St. Augustine for everyone. If you love fishing you could be in for the time of your life. Don't forget to book early to ensure you don't miss a single day of fun.
