As things change to our Midsomer patterns. It’s all about the availability of the bait. That drives the fish bite. When we get the strong outgoing tides near the new and full moon, pass crabs are flushing out of Tampa Bay in big numbers. This is one of our favorite scenarios to catch Tarpon. It concentrates the fish and they are focused on those little crabs.
Also, the second hatch of sardines has exploded, and the flats are covered. The small Bait are exactly what the mangrove snapper are looking for solid catches of snapper daily now. We are still...

seeing our share of Snook. And redfish the over slot speckled trout have moved out to the edge of the grass flats and have been super cooperative anytime the tide is moving.

    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!!

    Trip: Inshore Family Fun Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Brian and Captain Gerry were great! Great conversation and knows their stuff. We booked a 4 hour trip. Safety is priority and a storm was rolling in, so we had to head back after 2 hours. However, it passed after 30-45 minutes and we went back out. They took us to 4-5 different spots and we caught over 10 species of fish! Flounder, grouper, spades, sheeps head, lady fish, trout, silvers, mackerel, jack, pin, mangrove snapper, puffer. Many we had to release because they weren’t in season or were juveniles. However, the ones we did keep, the captains cleaned up for us. Overall, had a wonderful time. 10/10

    Trip: Tampa Bay Inshore Rodeo

  • ★★★★★
    Captian Nick and 1st mate Trey were amazing...! The bite was a challenge but our guys never gave up or stopped. A few moves and we caught plenty of fish for dinner with some decent groupers to top it off. Nice variety of fish from one of the biggest White Grunt I've ever seen, big Laine Snappers, Vermillion Snappers and a bunch a almost keeper Red Snapper mixed in. (Stubborn snappers...) Its called fishing, not catching... Loved their personalities from the start, conversation came easy and made for a very comfortable trip out. Thanks to both for a great day out on the beautiful Florida waters. WE WILL BE BACK from Philly, PA next year...! 🫡🎣💪

    Nick was a 10/10 captain took me and my boys out for my bachelor party fishing. Within 5 mins of fishing at the spot everyone had caught a fish. We caught over 40 fish in 4 hours and had 20 keepers to take home and cook. Best part of fishing with Nick was hanging out with him. Made sure we all had a great time, will definitely be doing another trip soon with him. Don’t book with anyone else!
