September fishing. Well, we are back from our trip to Key West with some amazing catches and experiences we would love to have you aboard next July and August. Fishing beautiful waters of Tampa Bay in September generally brings light winds and great fishing conditions. Our short gag grouper season was filled with some great action. Now that the season is closed. Our focus has switched back to our Amazing inshore fishery here Redfish have dominated our catches with some great snook and trout in the daily mix This is a time when Fishing Charter generally slow down a bit before our big October push to the end of the year, taking a bit of pressure off of our local fish You get your trips booked with.

My son in law and 2 grandsons booked Captain Mike for a 6 hour trip. All of us had a great time. The Fishing was off but Mike found the fish and we came back with 3 big red grouper. Mike has good equipment and I would recommend him to anyone. Hopefully we can go with him again.

Trip: Redington Shores Nearshore/Offshore
★★★★★
Fantastic day on the water with Captain Alex. I showed up to the dock a little early and everything was already dialed in—the boat was spotless, fully prepared, and stocked with fresh bait he’d caught that morning. Even on a quick half-day trip, we covered multiple areas and switched up tactics, starting with snook along mangroves and docks before moving on to speckled trout and mackerel. Captain Alex struck the perfect balance between being helpful and letting me fish how I wanted. He was always ready to assist, but also encouraged me to bait hooks, handle fish, and stay fully involved. The action stayed steady, and he offered great coaching and insight whenever I had questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’d absolutely book with him again and look forward to getting back out there soon!

Booked a trip with Captain Cole and from the start there was good and timely communication. Brought my two younger boys who had a blast! Cole was patient, answered their 100 questions, and took us to nice spots where we pulled out some nice fish and the boys were thrilled! We had a blast!
