Capt. Tommy is a North Florida native... 

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 ten years in the ESPN Redfish Cup, FLW Redfish Tour, and IFA Redfish Tours. Specializing in super shallow water angling, he will guide you to the best saltwater light-tackle and fly fishing opportunities around the St. Augustine, Palm Coast and Flagler beach areas. Being a FULL TIME 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), and native birds, just to name a few. Enjoy St. Augustine Fishing at it's best with Captain Tommy Derringer.

Book your Adventure!

You'll be fishing on the most technically advanced, flats fishing machine ever built...
The Egret 18.9 is known in the fishing world as the Rolls Royce of flats boats. With an unparalleled smooth ride the Egret will be the most comfortable flats boat you've ever been in. Not only does the Egret ride through the water like a much bigger boat but it will also float in mere inches of water. What does that mean for you? Redfish, trout, and other game fish love to feed and sun themselves in the extreme shallows of the inshore waters, so we'll be able to get closer to the fish than ever before!
A quiet and powerful Evinrude E-Tec outboard will get us to our spot and fishing in no time at all. My boat is also equipped with a MinnKota Trolling motor, Garmin GPS/ Sounder, and a dual Power Pole shallow water anchor system. Whether we are polling in on a school of fish or trolling a bank in a backcountry creek the Egret is hands down the best tool for the job. The Egret 18.9 is truly a fisherman's dreamboat!
