The Tampa Bay Area has some of the world’s best fishing grounds and the angling is excellent year round. Tampa fishing charters has phenomenal inshore fishing for tarpon, snook, red fish, trout, king fish, Spanish mackerel, flounder, sharks, black drum, sheepshead and many other species depending on the time of year. Tampa fishing charters serves Tampa Bay, Clearwater, St. Pete, Bradenton, Tarpon Springs, & New Port Richey . We are able to accommodate all areas surrounding Tampa Bay with our multiple departure points.

Fish inshore with us during the late spring and summer to feel the exhilaration of catching large tarpon on light tackle. These spectacular fish are known for their aerobatic, drag screaming runs. Massive amounts of snook, red fish, and trout inhabit our waters, and we fish for them when we are not fishing for tarpon. In the early spring, king fish and cobia migrate through the Tampa Bay area, and we target them when we can safely operate in the Gulf of Mexico.

If you are businessman visiting Tampa Bay, we take corporate clients fishing all the time. We work with you to squeeze a trip in-between meeting times. Last minute charters are usually not a problem. Don’t worry about long rides out to the Gulf Beaches, Captain Rick has been fishing Upper Tampa Bay (that is, the waters near Tampa International Airport & Downtown Tampa) for over 30 years, and he will put you in the best situation possible to hook the big one.  If your party is large than four, we can assist with mutli-boat group trips.

As you can see, Tampa fishing charters always has something special to offer. Family fishing is also one of our forte’s . Whether it is a birthday, vacation or just a day to spend with your child, we are here to make your day enjoyable and peaceful. With the differing species surrounding the area, we are able to capture a child’s attention by putting them on these fish. Captain Rick frequently fishes with his four children who have been angling since they were old enough to walk. So bring your young ones along to make a lasting memory on a relaxing fishing charter.
