About Your Trip

Get ready to hit the water with Captain DJ and experience the incredible inshore fishing that Tampa Bay is known for! Whether you're drifting the flats for tailing Redfish, tossing live bait into the mangroves for Snook, or working a jig across the grass beds for Speckled Sea Trout, Captain DJ knows exactly where to go to put you on the bite.

With years of experience fishing the bays, passes, and backwaters around St. Pete Beach, Gulfport, Tierra Verde, and beyond, Captain DJ offers a personalized, action-packed experience that’s perfect for anglers of all skill levels. On any given trip, you could be hooking into Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Cobia, Flounder, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, and even the occasional Whiting or Kingfish. And if you're chasing a true bucket-list catch, don't miss the chance to target Tarpon—the legendary "Silver King"—when they roll through these waters in season. Sharks are also a thrilling possibility for those looking for a little extra fight.

You’ll be fishing aboard a well-equipped vessel ideal for navigating shallow flats and coastal channels. Captain DJ provides everything you need for a great day on the water: top-quality rods and reels, all tackle and bait, fishing licenses, safety gear, bottled water, and even fish cleaning at the end of the trip. Just bring your favorite snacks, any additional drinks (yes, alcohol is welcome), sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and towels if you plan to take a swim.

If you're planning a trip with a larger group, Captain DJ can easily organize a multi-boat charter to accommodate more than six guests—perfect for family outings, bachelor parties, or corporate adventures.

As always, if Captain DJ and his mate go above and beyond (which they will!), a tip is greatly appreciated for their hard work and hospitality.

So whether you’re a seasoned angler or just looking for a laid-back day on the water with some rod-bending action, book your inshore trip today and let Captain DJ show you the best of Tampa Bay fishing!

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
