About Your Trip

Head out to fish the waters around Tampa with Captain Nick for an awesome day out on the water slaying the fish!

Captain Nick - with his 15+ years of experience - will take you where the fish are biting. He will help you reel in Trout, Redfish, Flounder, and Grouper which are in the bay all year long, as well as Tarpon and Cobia if you want to target them during the summer months.

For these trips, Captain Nick uses his 22’ Aguasport bay boat, which comes with the latest marine electronics and safety gear. It can accommodate up to 4 anglers fishing in full comfort and can accommodate up to 6 if the last two adventurers are small children.

Captain Nick provides all rods, reels, and tackle. All you need to bring are your favorite snack and drinks, your sun protection, and your camera to record your trophies!

Bring your kids or your angling buddies and head out for a fishing adventure to remember with Captain Nick!

Had a fantastic morning on the water with Captain Nick!

He is a great guide, coach & company on the water. He knows the waters, and the fish and was patient & encouraging when I had a bad cast or failed to set the hook.

I did manage to land a nice black drum that is on the menu for my in-laws tonight.

I'll be back soon with our three young men!

Punctual with a nice clean boat. Covered a number of different areas focussed on snook or redfish by fly fishing while working around occasional wind and sometimes waiting for the sun to reappear from behind a cloud.
