Williamson Outfitters offers various fishing trips tailored to suit your needs and the season. Anglers can enjoy fishing in Apalachee Bay and Apalachicola Bay year-round for species such as speckled trout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, white trout, and black drum. From April to November, the waters teem with Spanish mackerel, pompano, ladyfish, and sharks. For those targeting specific species, there are specialized trips such as Florida Tripletail Fishing from May to September, North Florida Inshore Fishing, and North Florida Redfish & Trout Fishing. Flounder gigging trips are available from March to November, with the best catches occurring as the water warms. In late spring, the bays are filled with black drum, sheepshead, and flounder.
For a combination of activities, the “Shells-N-Scales” trip offers both scalloping and inshore fishing from July to September, providing an opportunity to catch inshore fish and then cool off by snorkeling for Florida bay scallops. The “Cast-N-Blast” charter combines a guided duck hunt with inshore fishing. Shark enthusiasts can choose between nearshore and offshore shark charters, both of which practice catch-and-release. Additionally, boat rides, island escort services, and eco-tours are available for those looking to explore the area’s natural beauty.
The outfitter’s primary vessel, the “Mary Frances,” is a 25-foot Pathfinder tower boat built in 2021, powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine. It accommodates up to four fishing guests, or six guests on island escort and scalloping trips. Equipped with USCG safety gear, navigational electronics, a live bait tank, and a cooler, the boat ensures a safe and comfortable experience.
