About Your Trip
Climb aboard with Captain Ken for a laid-back, fully-equipped day of fishing the diverse and scenic waters of Tampa Bay. Whether you're targeting tailing Redfish on shallow grass flats, hooking Snook along mangrove shorelines, or dropping bait for Snapper and Grouper on nearshore ledges, Captain Ken has you covered with the gear, the knowledge, and a smooth-riding boat built for the job.
You'll be fishing from a 22' Pathfinder 2200TRS Bay Boat, ideal for navigating
Tampa Bay’s wide variety of waters—from skinny backcountry creeks to the deeper shipping channels. This boat comfortably fits up to 4 anglers, with tons of storage, a large fish box, and a separate cooler for your food and drinks. It drafts just 11 inches, giving you access to ultra-shallow water Redfish zones, but it can also handle 1–3 ft seas for those calm-day nearshore runs.
Captain Ken’s Pathfinder is loaded with the right equipment to quietly stalk and stay on fish. A Minn Kota trolling motor with GPS Spot-Lock allows precise positioning without ever dropping anchor, while the 8’ Power-Pole shallow water anchor gives you instant holding power with the push of a button. Add in the SafeFloor non-slip deck coating and a T-top for shade, and you've got a safe, comfortable ride for anglers of all skill levels.
Fishing with Captain Ken includes everything you need:
🎣 Fishing licenses
🎣 Rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and lures
🎣 Fishing instruction and technique coaching
🎣 Cooler with ice, bottled water, hand towels, and cooling towels on hot days
🎣 Fish cleaned and bagged at the end of your trip
Just bring your sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, snacks, and layered clothing if it's chilly in the morning. Captain Ken will handle the rest.
Tampa Bay is a 400-square-mile estuary filled with life. From grassy flats to limestone ledges in 50+ ft shipping channels, the variety of habitat means you could be targeting Redfish, Snook, Trout, Snapper, or even Grouper—sometimes all in the same day! Captain Ken loves sharing this fishery with new anglers and seasoned pros alike, and his goal is to not only put you on fish, but also help you become a better angler in the process.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing day on the water or chasing your next personal best, Captain Ken delivers a memorable, personalized experience on the water—backed by experience, comfort, and genuine hospitality.
