I grew up on the waters of Tampa Bay – not just visiting, but living on these tides. As a kid, my days were spent running the shoreline from Sarasota to St. Petersburg, chasing schools of bait, learning every flat, channel, and mangrove edge by feel long before there was a GPS on the boat. As I got older, I pushed farther north, exploring the hidden pockets of Hernando County and the quieter stretches of coastline where the fish are aggressive and the crowds thin out. Those years weren’t vacations – they were my classroom. Every sunrise, every tide change, every bent rod was another lesson in how these waters really work.

My charters is my way of opening that world up to you. When you step on the boat, you’re not just booking a random trip in “Tampa Bay” – you’re fishing the exact routes I’ve run since I was a kid, across Tampa, Sarasota, St. Pete, and all the way up the coast.

I know where the fish move when the wind shifts, where the kids can get steady action, and where the serious anglers can hunt for that one fish they’ll talk about for years. My goal is simple: take all those years of time on the water, all those personal memories, and turn them into your day – your story, your photos, your “remember when” moments that last long after we leave the dock.

Dillon knows his stuff and is a great dude, also great with the kids (teenagers). We hooked into a bunch of trout, mackerel, grouper. I would definitely head out with him again and would recommend him to others.

Got us on the fish right away. Cannot tell you how many trips I have been on where just catching a few is a problem. Dillon knew exactly where to go and moved when the fishing changed. We caught so many species I cannot recall them all. Way over 20 fish on the trip with at least 5 Keeper
mangrove snappers. Highly recommend this captains experience!!!

Best guide ever! Hitting great trout like we wanted all day, then my son landed a prehistoric grouper, reeled that sucker in for a while! Capn Dillon put us right on the beast’s door step, all we had to do was knock on the door, BAM!💥
