About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Jim and enjoy a memorable day of fishing out of Clearwater, Florida!

On these trips, you’ll head out up to 9 nautical miles from the shore to bottom fish for various Grouper and Snapper species. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to battle coastal predators, such as Bull Shark. These creatures have some of the most intense bite force out of any species so get ready to give your arms a workout!

You’ll head out on a 27’ Pro Cat Catamaran, built for cutting through the surf to make offshore voyages a breeze! She comes with top-notch navigational instruments, a live bait tank, ample seating, and all the fishing equipment you could possibly need. There’s also plenty of walk-around room so you can follow your prey around the boat as you fish. She can carry up to 6 anglers.

Don’t forget to bring a cooler with ice to take home your day’s catch, sunscreen, and a hat. Captain Jim will provide all rods, reels, tackle, and drinks (bottled water & Gatorade). You can also choose to purchase live bait or catch it along the way.

Get ready to test your casting accuracy on what promises to be a productive day on the water with Captain Jim!
