Dylan Baker, Captain at Capt. DL Spragg Charters

Captain Dylan Spragg is a Tampa Bay native who grew up fishing the flats, bay, and beaches of St. Petersburg and beyond. When he’s not in the sky training as a pilot, he’s on the water guiding anglers of all ages and skill levels. Fishing has been a lifelong passion, and in 2023 he launched his licensed charter business to share the experience while funding his flight school.


What sets Capt. Dylan apart is his approach to guiding. His trips are designed to feel like fishing with a friend who knows the waters inside and out. He values exploration, time on the water, and the chance to enjoy the moment—whether the day brings a cooler full of fish or just a handful of bites. For him, the goal isn’t about numbers, but about creating an authentic and relaxed experience. Guests who want nonstop action every time may prefer another captain, but those who want to experience Tampa Bay the way locals do will feel right at home.


Trips usually begin by catching live bait before heading to a variety of locations. Depending on the season, anglers might target snook, trout, and redfish across the grass flats, pursue tarpon near bridges and passes during the summer run, or move just offshore to reefs for snapper, grouper, grunts, or flounder. Every day brings a different challenge, and Capt. Dylan adapts to conditions to give his guests the best chance at success.


Families, kids, and first-time anglers are always welcome, and the charter can be customized for different comfort levels. Whether the goal is learning how to fish, introducing children to saltwater angling, or targeting a bucket-list species, Capt. Dylan makes the process approachable and enjoyable. He provides all licenses, bait, and gear, so guests can simply show up ready to fish.


Conservation is an important part of his practice. As of January 2024, Capt. Dylan does not harvest snook or redfish, preferring to catch and release these species to help preserve healthy populations for future generations.


With a focus on fun, flexibility, and honest expectations, Spragg Charters offers a refreshing take on fishing charters in St. Petersburg. Whether guests land five fish or fifty, the memories of time spent on the water are what matter most. Book today and experience Tampa Bay fishing with a local who treats every trip as a new adventure.
