Port St Joe Fishing Charter

Captain Harrison Helms would like to invite you to one of Florida’s most diverse coastlines. The Forgotten Coast has some of the clearest and cleanest water that Florida has to offer. With the coastlines being exception, the only thing that could make this better is the thousands of acres of swamps and marshes that lead down to the bays. The Apalachicola River runs from North Georgia down to Apalachicola, FL, and serves as one of the run offs from the Appalachian Mountains carrying nutrients all the way down. The North side of the Cape San Blas Peninsula is known as St. Joe Bay. It has thousands of acres of pristine grass flats, potholes, and sandbars that serve as a filter to keep the water as clean as it can be. St. Joe Bay also has a 1.3 mile natural opening into the Gulf of Mexico causing the water to never becoming to stagnant. This ecosystem gives anglers some unbelievable opportunities and shots at tons of different species of fish.

Here are just some of the fish species we target

Redfish Also known as red drum, they are prized for their mild, sweet flavor.

Tarpon Known for their impressive size and acrobatic leaps when hooked.

Trout Found in shallow waters, speckled trout put up a good fight on fly or spinning rod.

Imagine the sunrise is barely cresting over the pines with a light wind. Looking out over the water there are shrimp jumping and fish busting all in front of you. We sneakily try to get into casting range. You let your first cast go and you give your topwater its first twitch and boom a huge boil. You are hooked up, drag peeling, heart racing!

Fishing with captain Harry was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I had my ten year old son with me on the trip and Harry was spectacular at teaching him everything he needed to know. I truly appreciate the effort he put into teaching my son rather than just taking the pole and doing it for him. Harry was very patient with us as this was our first time offshore fishing. He was also very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. I can’t wait to do it again!!!

Great and fun experience with Captain Harry! He has put us on fish every time we have gone out with him . Captain Harry knows this area very well and knows how to catch fish no matter if it is spring, summer or fall. We have been out with him 5 times this year and fished different areas each time. He has a great personality and teaches you something new every time.

Captain Harry provided an outstanding experience for my family! He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable, but laid back and fun all at the same time. He had as much fun with us as we did with him. We absolutely recommend him. You cannot go wrong!
