About Your Trip

If you're looking to explore what the bountiful offshore waters beyond Tampa Bay can offer, then this trip is for you! You'll be motoring offshore aboard Captain Martin's 30' Conch center console and spend the day bottom fishing, jigging, and maybe even some trolling for a wide range of popular offshore species like big Amberjack, King Mackerel, Hogfish, Triggerfish, and a wide range of Grouper and Snapper species!

These classic Florida gamefish offer a little
bit of everything—hard fighting, delicious eating, and amazing pictures! Snapper and Grouper are especially well known as delicious eating fish. Captain Martin has decades of experience catching these prizewinners, and he will do everything he can to put you on the fish and give you the best possible chance to catch your target for the day.

You'll be spending the day aboard his beautiful 30' Conch center console, powered by twin 300HP Suzuki outboards. This fast and versatile boat is perfect for fishing the all around Tampa bay and beyond! (see his other trip offerings at the bottom of the page). Captain Martin will provide everything you need for a perfect day on the water, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. His goal is for everyone to have a blast and to catch a bunch of fish! Remember to bring proper clothing, a hat, and sunscreen.
