Inshore Trips

Inshore fishing is a great way to explore just about everything Tampa Bay has to offer. The habit we target when we go inshore fishing is mangrove tree lines, grass flats, residential docks, and rock sea walls. There are dozens of different species you can catch when fishing inshore, the more popular species we catch is snook, redfish, SeaTrout, flounder, Jack, sheepshead, and many more! We like to use live greenbacks which is like a shad or live shrimp and use just a hook and line with no weight and throw the live greenbacks towards the structure we are fishing.

Near-shore Trips

Want to fill the cooler and catch some cool hard fighting fish? Then near-shore fishing is for you, we go a little further out than inshore fishing and deeper into the bay fishing depths of 15 to 45 feet of water and targeting grouper, snapper, mackerel, sheepshead and more. Bait types may change depending on the season.

Shark Fishing

Who doesn't want to catch a creature with big teeth?

Shark fishing is fun for everyone because sometimes it takes everyone to reel in a big beast! To catch these toothy critters we go out in the bay with big bait and even bigger rods.

Are you ready for the battle?

Gigging

Want to try something new and different?

We go out at night with high powered led lights that wrap around the front half of the boat that shine directly into the water. Instead of a fishing pole you will use a long pole to catch these fish.
