About Your Trip
Experience some of Florida's finest inshore and nearshore fishing with Captain Kevin on the productive waters surrounding Belleair Bluffs, Clearwater, and Tampa Bay. Whether you're looking for a quick four-hour trip, a six-hour adventure, or a full day on the water, every charter is customized around current conditions and the species that are biting best.
Depending on the season, your day may take you across expansive grass flats, winding mangrove shorelines, shallow backcountry waters, beaches,
bridges, productive reefs, or nearshore wrecks in the Gulf of Mexico. Captain Kevin carefully plans each trip around the tides, weather, and water conditions, allowing you to fish the areas offering the greatest opportunities that day.
The diversity of this fishery means there's always something exciting to target throughout the year. Depending on the season, you may find yourself casting to mangrove-lined shorelines for Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Black Drum, working deeper structure for Mangrove Snapper and Gag Grouper, or trolling nearshore waters when King Mackerel and Spanish Mackerel are on the move. During the right time of year, anglers may also have the opportunity to pursue the legendary Silver King—Tarpon—one of Florida's most sought-after game fish.
Captain Kevin uses a variety of proven techniques throughout the day, including light tackle casting, bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, and live bait presentations. Every trip is adjusted to match current conditions, ensuring you spend your time fishing the most productive water available rather than sticking to a fixed plan.
You'll fish aboard a comfortable 21-foot Key West bay boat that's perfectly suited for both shallow inshore waters and nearshore Gulf adventures. The boat accommodates up to four guests and is equipped with quality electronics, a wireless trolling motor, a live bait well, plenty of cooler space, and comfortable seating for a productive day on the water.
Your trip includes rods, reels, tackle, live bait, artificial lures, bottled water, fish cleaning and filleting, and your fishing license while aboard the charter. If you'd like additional drinks or snacks, you're welcome to bring them along. Beer is permitted, and cans are preferred. Families are always welcome, and children of all ages can enjoy spending the day on the water with Captain Kevin.
Whether you're hoping to catch your first fish, fill the cooler with fresh fillets, or simply spend a relaxing day exploring the beautiful waters of Florida's Gulf Coast, Captain Kevin offers a personalized fishing experience that's enjoyable for anglers of every skill level.
