About Your Trip

Get out there on the water and enjoy everything Tampa Bay, FL has to offer on this trip with Captain Cody, an all-around outdoorsman who loves putting his clients on top gamefish! A Florida native, he grew up hunting and fishing this area and has years of experience on the water, so whether you're just looking to have a good time with family, fill your cooler with table fare, or bag a trophy fish, he has you covered.

On this trip, you'll be chasing some of America's most popular inshore sportfish, including Redfish, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, and Snook. All of these fish are a blast on light tackle, and provide a challenge for every angler. In Tampa's clear water, you can sight cast directly to these fish, and put that bait or lure right in front of them for that giant topwater blowup.

Captain Cody runs his fishing trips aboard a 26' Andros bay boat, an ideal fishing vessel that can handle all kinds of water and weather. She's equipped with a Yamaha 300-HP for a ton of speed, and is kitted out with amenities to enhance your experience. All you need to bring is your sunscreen (no spray please), some sunglasses, and a good attitude! Captain Cody has everything else covered, so get out there and have some fun!

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
