About Your Trip

Get out there on the water and enjoy everything Tampa Bay, FL has to offer on this trip with Captain Cody, an all-around outdoorsman who loves putting his clients on top gamefish! A Florida native, he grew up hunting and fishing this area and has years of experience on the water, so whether you're just looking to have a good time with family, fill your cooler with table fare, or bag a trophy fish, he has you covered.

On this trip, you'll be chasing some of America's most popular inshore sportfish, including Redfish, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, and Snook. All of these fish are a blast on light tackle, and provide a challenge for every angler. In Tampa's clear water, you can sight cast directly to these fish, and put that bait or lure right in front of them for that giant topwater blowup.

Captain Cody runs his fishing trips aboard a 26' Andros bay boat, an ideal fishing vessel that can handle all kinds of water and weather. She's equipped with a Yamaha 300-HP for a ton of speed, and is kitted out with amenities to enhance your experience. All you need to bring is your sunscreen (no spray please), some sunglasses, and a good attitude! Captain Cody has everything else covered, so get out there and have some fun!
