Inshore Fishing Charters in St. Joseph Sound - Catch Snook, Redfish, & Seatrout

Experience the best of shallow water flats fishing with Catch A Ray Charter. We offer inshore fishing charters in the stunning grass flats of St. Joseph Sound and Anclote Island. Immerse yourself in these pristine waters and catch a variety of saltwater game fish, including Snook, Redfish, and Spotted Seatrout.

Captain Thom is ready to welcome you aboard the new 2020 Ranger 2260 Bay Boat powered by a 200HP Mercury engine. Designed for optimal performance in shallow inshore waters, this state-of-the-art vessel is equipped with modern accessories such as Simrad, Power Poles, a Minn Kota trolling motor, and more. Enjoy the convenience of a covered T-top that provides shade from the sun, as well as a remote control trolling motor to silently cruise in search of schooling fish. Rest assured, the Catch A Ray is fully equipped with all necessary safety equipment including first aid kit, radio, signal devices, USCG-approved flotation devices, and a fire extinguisher.

Your charter experience includes all tackle, licenses, and fishing gear. Your catch will be expertly filleted on site, so you can take it home or enjoy it in a local restaurant. We provide water, ice, and a cooler for your convenience. Feel free to bring your own snacks and beverages of choice. Don't forget to wear sunscreen and polarized sunglasses for added protection.

You'll be impressed by our high-quality fishing tackle, featuring Daiwa and Shimano spinning reels, as well as top-notch rods from manufacturers like G Loomis, Falcon, Bull Bay, and Shimano. We provide a wide selection of tackle, lures, and both artificial and live bait. If you have kids or novice anglers in your group, we offer closed reel "spincasters," and baitcasters are available upon request.

Additionally, we offer the option of wade fishing. If you choose this adventure, please bring your own wade boots or protective footwear. It's a fantastic way to explore the local shores and coves while covering a lot of water.

Captain Thom is happy to share his knowledge and expertise with you. He will gladly teach you various rigs, knots, and techniques to enhance your fishing experience.
