Hunter Wilcox, Captain at Lock It Down Sportfishing

Lock it Down Sportfishing extends a warm invitation to join us for an exciting fishing charter along St. Petersburg! Whether you're an experienced angler pursuing a prized catch, a novice eager to learn, or simply seeking a leisurely day on the water with your family, Captain Hunter is dedicated to tailoring your experience to your preferences. Captain Hunter operates a customized 23’ Dorado vessel, designed to comfortably accommodate up to four anglers. This boat is equipped with cutting-edge electronics to ensure your safety and overall comfort throughout the journey.


Each fishing trip in St. Petersburg is thoughtfully crafted around your desired catch and your level of expertise. Captain Hunter has dedicated the last decade to pursuing Snook, Redfish, and Trout, which are abundant in the inshore waters of Tampa Bay. Among these, Captain Hunter's personal favorite is the Tarpon. During the spring and summer months, Tarpon migrates along Florida's Gulf Coast, frequently spending ample time in Tampa Bay. These majestic "Silver kings" can be targeted through various methods, including sight fishing, live baiting, and chunking, guaranteeing an exhilarating battle and impressive displays of athleticism. For the truly adventurous, inquire about our night trips, where Captain Hunter will assist you in pursuing these colossal gamefish using artificial lures or live bait.

At specific times of the year, The Bay is teeming with Grouper, Snapper, and Cobia, offering the opportunity to savor a delicious meal after contending with a remarkable trophy. Kingfish, renowned for their formidable fights, are also available and are perfect for creating the local specialty, smoked fish dip. This region boasts one of the most diverse fisheries in the country.


We provide high-quality Penn and Shimano gear for your convenience, while we recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks for the trip. We'll ensure you have access to water, and it's crucial to safeguard yourself from the sun's rays. At the conclusion of your adventure, Captain Hunter will expertly fillet and bag your catch.


Lock it Down Sportfishing is here to serve you throughout the entire year, eager to provide you with a day on the water that you'll cherish forever. Don't miss the chance to embark on an extraordinary adventure with us – book your trip today!
