Everything to Know About Booking a Fishing Charter in Apollo Beach

What are the best fishing charters in Apollo Beach?

Apollo Beach Fishing Overview

Apollo Beach is part of the greater Tampa Bay area and when it comes to fishing charters, there is no shortage of variety. Whether you want a half-day flats fishing trip, a multi-day Apollo Beach deep sea fishing charter, or anything in between, Apollo Beach fishing charters have it all.

The inshore fishing in Apollo Beach is some of the best in the state of Florida, and that's saying something! Leaving the bay behind gives anglers an opportunity to experience a variety of nearshore and deep sea species on our Apollo Beach fishing charters. With hot summers and moderate winters, the bite is always on, and with the variety of fishing charters Apollo Beach offers, there is bound to be something for everyone!

Apollo Beach Inshore Fishing

Just by looking at a map of v will get any inshore angler's adrenaline pumping. Visiting Apollo Beach to go inshore fishing gives anglers a unique opportunity to check off bucket list species just a few minutes away from the big city. v has all the features of a world-class inshore fishery: from mudflats, sand bars, and islands - to channels, cuts, and mangrove forests. This makes Apollo Beach's inshore community very biodiverse.

Apollo Beach's favorite fish, Snook, can be caught year-round, but the bite picks up from April to October. Red Snapper heats up in the summer and can be found only a short distance from the dock which is unlike most places they are found. The Silver King, or Tarpon, can be caught in the summer months when they invade Tampa Bay in search of schooling Menhaden or other baitfish. The formidable Redfish is the bread and butter of Apollo Beach fishing and the bite picks up from March through October. Other species to catch in Apollo Beach include sheepshead, speckled trout, and King mackerel in the deeper waters.

Apollo Beach Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Just a short boat ride out of the bay will bring you to some highly productive nearshore waters. Deep dropping or trolling around structure will bring Hogfish, Snapper, Grouper, Cobia, and other formidable fighters to our Apollo Beach charter boats.

Schools of baitfish hang out near the mouth of the bay in the summer, so that's a great place to start. There are also plenty of reefs & wrecks always providing a diverse catch to Apollo Beach deep sea fishing charters. For the full-day and extended day offshore trips of 40+ miles out, Kingfish, Tuna, Mahi-Mahi, and billfish can be caught.

Once your day on the water ends, there's plenty to do in Apollo Beach and the Tampa area. Apollo Beach offers all the perks of a big city while still feeling like a small town. Close by are numerous beaches, both in the bay and on the ocean.

    Trip: Clearwater Offshore Reefs & Wrecks

  • ★★★★★
    Fantastic day on the water with Captain Alex. I showed up to the dock a little early and everything was already dialed in—the boat was spotless, fully prepared, and stocked with fresh bait he’d caught that morning. Even on a quick half-day trip, we covered multiple areas and switched up tactics, starting with snook along mangroves and docks before moving on to speckled trout and mackerel. Captain Alex struck the perfect balance between being helpful and letting me fish how I wanted. He was always ready to assist, but also encouraged me to bait hooks, handle fish, and stay fully involved. The action stayed steady, and he offered great coaching and insight whenever I had questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’d absolutely book with him again and look forward to getting back out there soon!

    We had a great trip Taylor!! He was a great captain! We caught LOTS of fish. Super knowledgeable and such a pleasure to be around. We will definitely be calling him when we come back to Florida again. Top notch experience! Caught mackerel, trout, groupers, Jack fish, lady fish, lizard fish, catfish and we saw a dolphin. Thank you for a great experience!

    What an amazing saltwater fishing experience Captain Austin provided my family and I. This trip included my Denise, my daughter, her husband, my grandson, and I. None of us are experienced saltwater fishermen but the Captain put us on fish right away and we all caught plenty all day. My grandson caught a nice red Grouper and a big hog fish and Denise caught 2 big hog fish. It was a great time for us all and thank you Captain Austin for a time together we will never forget.
