Capt. Tommy Derringer is a Florida Native and he has never been a stranger to fishing and has always loved the outdoors. A lifelong resident of beautiful St. Augustine Fl., Tommy has acquired extensive knowledge of fishing the Intracoastal Waterway and its many creeks, flats, and backcountry estuaries. A U.S. Coast Guard approved Captain, Tommy is also an avid tournament fisherman and has competed for the last 15 years in the ESPN Redfish Cup, FLW Redfish Tour, and IFA Redfish Tours, winning most recently the 2018 IFA Redfish Tour Jacksonville stop and a check for over $30,000! Capt. Tommy is the Regional Fishing Expert on the long running fishing TV Show the Florida Insider Fishing Report (airing weekly April-September on Fox Sports). Specializing in super shallow water angling as well as coastal fishing, he will guide you to the best saltwater light-tackle and fly fishing opportunities around the St. Augustine and Palm Coast areas.
Being a Full Time St. Augustine and Palm Coast Fishing Guide, Capt. Tommy is on the water almost every day which means he knows where the fish are on a consistent basis (*many other guides in the area only work part time on the weekends). A conservation-minded angler, Tommy will encourage a “Use, don’t abuse” attitude while on the water. Not only will you be catching fish, but you can also see many different species of wildlife while on your inshore fishing trip, such as manatees, dolphin (porpoise), Sea turtles, and native birds, just to name a few. Enjoy St. Augustine Fishing and Palm Coast Fishing at its best with Captain Tommy Derringer.
Captain Tommy Derringer is part of a small, elite group of guides that form the Maverick Boat Group Pro Staff. He proudly fishes from a Maverick HPX18 flats skiff and a Pathfinder 2300HPS bay boat.
