Bottom Line Sportfishing in Clearwater, Florida

The half day deep sea fishing trip is a perfect trip for those who just want to have an enjoyable time out on the water and catch some fish! We typically go out 10-15 miles, so still in sight of land, and catch grunts, maybe some hogfish, and some mangrove snapper. During certain times of the year we can get in to some bigger fish like gag grouper. We often see dolphins and sea turtles as well! Read More

The Hogfish hunt is our 3/4 day 6hr trip. We are primarily targeting hogfish on this trip, along with mangrove snapper, lane snapper, grunts, gag grouper when they are in season, and king and Spanish mackerel when they are around. We typically fish 15-25 miles offshore on this trip. Read More

The grouper diggin’ trip puts us out 30-40 miles offshore targeting either gag grouper, red grouper, or both depending on what is in season. Our main goal on this trip is to get a boat limit (2 per person) on every trip. This trip puts meat in the box! We can also target mangrove snapper, lane snapper, and sometimes red snapper when they are in season. Read More

If you’re looking to fill the fish box, and your freezer then this is the trip for you! The Red Snapper trip puts us out 50-65 miles offshore targeting mainly Red Snapper along with red grouper, mangrove snapper, lane snapper, and the occasional blackfin tuna. This is one of our favorite times of the year to go catch big fish, and a lot of them. Captain Sam is a native Floridian and has been fishing these waters professionally for 13 years. Book a red snapper trip and pull on some big fish! Read More

Let’s go catch some sharks! On our shark trips we go out to some ship wrecks that the sharks like to hang out at. We typically catch black tip sharks and spinner sharks ranging from 3ft long to 6ft long. We also occasionally catch hammerheads and bull sharks. The cool thing about it is you never know what kind of shark you’re going to hook in to! Read More
