Book with James Canelos
St. Augustine is an amazing place to fish for redfish, sea trout, drum, and flounder. The creeks, marshes, docks, oyster lined flats, shell bank dropoffs, and spartina grass provide the perfect environment for many species of game fish all year round.
In the winter and early spring, there are amazing sight fishing opportunities, especially for fly fishing. During late spring and fall, St. Augustine's flood tides bring once-in-a-lifetime fishing that anglers travel from all over the world to experience. You'll never forget watching redfish tail just feet away.
I have been fishing the waters of St Augustine since I was a child. From the first time I felt the drag scream of a shallow redfish, I knew this was what I was meant to do! My goal is for everyone to share that experience. There is something surreal about the serenity of being on a secluded flat stalking fish. It allows you to let your mind get away from all the stresses in life and just truly be in the moment. Specializing in shallow water fly fishing and light spin, you are guaranteed to have a good time out on the water! Whether you are an experienced angler or new to fishing, you will learn something on the water and have fun!

A great trip!! James took Myself and my 3 teenagers out on a half day inshore trip. He put us on fish right away, and was a huge help with my kids who are beginners.

My 12 year old son and I had an awesome time fishing with Captain James. Caught more than 20 fish in a few hours (Redfish, speckled sea trout, blues and others). James knows when/where to find each type of fish - we'll be back for some shark fishing soon!
