Fishing has been on fire as the water temps heat up and the schools of bait are thick the schools of fish are big. June 1st kicks off American Red Snapper season and it's tine to load up the fish box. Unreel fishing charters is the fastest charter boat in Clearwater you can get there fast & fish more.

Bonus Red Grouper also open right now.

The new moon had the tarpon firing off this week. The afternoon crab tides did not disappoint. We had some trips hooking fish into the double digits while other trips there were plenty of fish to go around. We still have openings for the full moon the next two weeks, don’t miss out on your chance at hooking up to the silver king!

We’ve also had a mixed bag inshore with some Cobia, giant trout and plenty of snook mixed on.

    We arrived at the Dock to meet the Captain and get our trip underway ,Captain Tommy was awesome right from the start not to mention very nice boat with a lot of room and very fast !!! He was an awesome Fisherman and would teach and show his skill’s and would answer any questions. Captain Tommy would absolutely put you right on the fish , if he didn’t like a spot he would drag and go somewhere else !! 10 out of 10 for us ,we would always book him if we are in the area. Hope to get him up to Destin sometime!!!

    CPT Logan is an awesome young man. We fish 6 or 7 holes. We landed at least 2 fish per stop. We caught Snook, Reds, Black Drum, Sheep's Head and Mangrove Snapper. We landed over 14 fish of 5 different species in less than 3 hrs. What a day. I'll definitely be back to fish w him again.

    These guys are Awsome!!! Captain Nick was so sick with Kidney Stones and you couldn’t tell. He still took us out, I felt so bad for him. He went straight to the E.R. after. We caught over 60 fish as soon as we put our line out we were pulling them in! Great guys, highly recommend!

    What an unforgettable experience!! We had so much fun and caught so many fish with Captain George- I’m also pretty sure he might actually be a fish whisperer! He was so personable and accommodating. We have fallen in love with this area and can’t wait to come back next year- and you can bet that we will definitely be booking another fishing trip! Thanks for the memories, Captain George!!
