Com’n’Getit Fishing Charters

Captain Billy Pettigrew runs Com’n’Getit Fishing Charters out of a custom 21 foot Avid FST bay boat powered by a 150 horsepower Yamaha outboard, working the inshore waters around Daytona Beach and the surrounding Halifax River and Intracoastal system. According to the captain’s own website, he brings nearly 40 years of experience fishing these waters and has a background as a tournament competitor, which is the kind of local knowledge that tends to matter more than boat size when it comes to finding fish on a given day. The operation is a guide service built around one captain and one boat rather than a fleet, and the captain’s site describes it as independently owned and operated.

Trips target the species that define inshore fishing in this part of Florida: redfish, speckled sea trout, snook, flounder, black drum, tarpon, and the occasional shark, all fished from a shallow draft bay boat capable of getting into the skinny water where these species often hold. Pricing on the captain’s website starts at 399 dollars for a four hour trip with one angler, with an additional charge of 50 dollars per extra angler, scaling up to 599 dollars for six hours, 799 dollars for eight hours, and a sunrise to sunset extreme day trip at 1,049 dollars. For anglers who just want to be on the water without necessarily fishing, scenic tours built around wildlife viewing and even island picnicking are available starting at 329 dollars, which is a useful option for a mixed group where not everyone wants a rod in hand. The business also offers discounted rates for military, law enforcement, and first responders.

Because this is a guide service rather than a storefront operation, Com’n’Getit does not fish from a single fixed dock, and the captain’s website lists a service area spanning Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Port Orange, Ponce Inlet, Flagler Beach, and New Smyrna Beach depending on where conditions and the tides put fish on a given trip. That flexibility is fairly typical of inshore guide services in this part of Volusia County, where captains chase moving water and bait rather than staying tied to one launch point, and it is part of why this listing could not confirm one fixed street address for the business inside Daytona Beach city limits, even though the business is based in and primarily associated with Daytona Beach.

What could be verified through the captain’s own site and cross checked against a business directory is a real, currently operating, single captain charter business with a specific boat, specific pricing, and a specific service area centered on Daytona Beach, run under the Com’n’Getit name that also appears on the operation’s Facebook page. Anyone booking should expect early morning departures typical of inshore fishing, weather dependent scheduling, and a booking system handled directly through the captain’s website rather than a call center or franchise dispatcher, all signs of the kind of small, owner operated charter this guide is meant to highlight.
