Red grouper, red snapper, Mango snapper and lane snapper are on fire in 100+ feet! Sharks are everywhere and you have to move around a lot but filling the box every trip!

Hot bite to start summer with schools of mangrove snapper and redfish on the mangrove islands. Snook are getting to the beaches and passes for spawn. Bait has been plentiful and the fish are fired up.

The spring bite is in full swing and the days of catching big powerful predators is back. Snook trout and redfish have been off the charts. At the same time tarpon are showing up in full force from their winter hiatus. Bait fish have been pretty easy to come by...

Recent trips have produced some quality snook and trout, and some Spanish mackerel are showing up also. We have been using artificial lures and live bait and doing very well. There are also some big redfish and huge snook cruising around the mangroves right now.

Trip: "Offshore Extreme" Middle Grounds
★★★★★
We had a fantastic day of fishing with some business clients. Captain Wade never stopped working—he had us on fish within minutes and was re-baiting hooks in seconds. The boat was comfortable, well-equipped, and spacious enough for all six of us to fish with ease. While it was a “business entertainment” outing, Captain Wade’s laid-back, humorous personality made the trip feel effortless and fun. Plenty of fish, plenty of laughs—thanks, Captain Wade!

Trip: Tampa Inshore Adventures
★★★★★
Awesome is an understatement!!! As a Florida born, Clearwater native, salt water addict, life long fisherman, I can’t say enough about this trip. I’ve always owned boats and I’ve never taken a guided trip, as a native it feels like blasphemy. Captain Tommy is a blast to be around, a wealth of knowledge, and as passionate about fishing as anyone I’ve ever met. He’s driven by his desire to deliver results and be successful as a fisherman, it shows in every aspect of his service. He was as excited to put people on fish, as I think he might be to catch them for himself and that speaks volumes. He shares a lifetime of commitment to his passion, and everyone who’s fishing with Captain Tommy benefits. We caught stud fish all day! Don’t take my word for it. Pay the man and go fishing. Five stars isn’t enough.

We had a wonderful time with Captain Andy. He was super friendly and put us on fish right away. This trip was my 9 year daughter's first trip and she was asking to extend the trip the first 30 minutes in. This was truly a family friendly experience. I would and defiantly recommend using Captain Andy again. Thank you Captain Andy for a wonderful time!!!!

Captain Frankie knows where the fish are and worked tirelessly to get us to them. Very glad I chose his charter. I plan to be a repeat customer.

Trip: Grouper And Snapper Trips
★★★★★
Tommy and Alex were fantastic! Very laid back yet professional the entire trip. They put us on some nice American Reds and a few nice grouper, as well as, a ton of shorties that had to be thrown back. We could have had a lot more if those dang sharks were not everywhere, but we still filled the box. AND to end the day, we caught a diamondback rattler crossing the inlet. It was some kind of crazy and I am sure we will have a lasting memory for the rest of our lives… Thanks Tommy & Alex, we had a fantastic time and I look forward to hopefully booking again with you real soon!

Trip: 8 Hour Offshore Epic Fishing
★★★★★
We made a full 8 hr trip with Capt. Tommy and his mate Alex. Fishing started out hot but slowed down later in the day, but fishing on a full moon is never ideal. The boat was great, lots of room for the 6 of us to relax and fish comfortably. Tommy and Alex were very entertaining and were great with the 3 first time fishermen we had in our party. I highly recommend fishing with Capt. Tommy, we certainly will!
