About Your Trip
Get ready to explore the shallow waters, scenic back bays, and productive flats of Florida’s Suncoast with Captain Evan! Based out of Clearwater, these inshore trips are the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation—ideal for anglers of all skill levels, from seasoned pros to families making their first cast. With years of experience and local knowledge, Captain Evan will put you on the fish and make sure your time on the water is fun, comfortable,
and memorable.
You’ll be fishing aboard a 25’ Dorado bay boat—custom-built for navigating the skinny inshore waters of the Gulf Coast. Powered by a 300 HP Mercury engine and equipped with state-of-the-art Garmin electronics, a wireless trolling motor, and a spacious live bait well, this boat gives you the stealth to sneak up on fish and the power to move quickly between hot spots.
4-Hour Inshore Trip – Morning or Afternoon: A great option for families, beginners, or anyone wanting a shorter adventure without sacrificing the action. You'll fish the calm, scenic waters around Clearwater targeting inshore favorites like Snook, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, and Pompano. Light tackle and live bait keep things fun and active, making this a perfect way to spend a few hours on the water.
6-Hour Inshore Trip: With six hours to fish, you’ll have more time to explore the mangroves, oyster bars, and grass flats that make this fishery so productive. You’ll target a wider range of species and take your time working through different techniques to dial in the bite. Expect shots at hard-fighting Snook, spooky Redfish, speckled Trout, Snapper, and even the occasional Cobia or Tripletail cruising the flats. Please note that Snook, Redfish, and Trout are catch-and-release only by the Captain’s choice at this time.
8-Hour Inshore Trip – Full Day Adventure: This is the ultimate Clearwater inshore experience. Spend a full day sight-fishing shallow flats, pitching baits under mangroves, and drifting channels for a wide range of Gulf Coast species. With plenty of time to follow the tides and patterns, you'll cover more water and increase your chances of hooking into something special. Whether you're after quantity, quality, or just a peaceful day on the water, this trip gives you the freedom to do it all.
Captain Evan provides everything you need for a successful day—rods, reels, tackle, freshly caught live bait, fishing licenses, and cold bottled water. He’ll also clean and fillet your legal catch at the end of the trip. All you need to bring is your favorite snacks and drinks (soft cooler preferred), sun protection, and a good attitude.
With calm waters, great fishing, and a laid-back vibe, Captain Evan’s inshore trips are the perfect way to experience what Clearwater fishing is all about. Let’s get you out there and into the action!
