About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Gage for the perfect day out on the beautiful Florida waters. Whether you're looking for a 4 hour near-shore trip, a 12 hour off-shore trip, or anything in between, Captain Gage will put you where you need to be!

Enjoy bottom fishing reefs for Red Snappers, Gag Groupers, Red Grouper and more. Or relax and let Captain Gage and his 27' Grady White take control to do some nearshore trolling and chase the coveted King Mackerel. All you have to do is let Captain Gage know which species you want to target, and he can make it happen!

His boat comes loaded with all the gear you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water including all the rods, reels, tackle, bait and fishing licenses. So all you have to do is bring your favorite snack and drinks, your sun protection, and your camera and Captain Gage will take care of the rest!

A street motorcycle racer when not on the water, Captain Gage is always going full speed ahead!

A 3rd generation fisherman, Captain Gage's grandfather and father introduced him to fishing when the gifted him his first rod.

That one rod set things in motion, and Captain Gage has been fishing nonstop ever since. After earning his federal reef and pelagic permits while running a Chichlid farm, Captain Gage has been professionally fishing the Gulf of Mexico for over 12 years.

While a fan of all types of fishing, Captain Gage specializes in unbeatable reef and wreck fishing using bottom drop fishing and mid-water techniques for Snapper, Hogfish, Grouper, and much, much more.

Check out Captain Gage's open dates below to get in on the action in beautiful Clearwater Florida today.

Gage was nice and didn’t do anything wrong. He just seemed like he was there to earn his check. The deckhand was very nice and went out of his way to be helpful.

A friend and I we went out with Cpt. Gage for some afternoon offshore fishing. As soon as my line was in the water I had a bite, then we caught fish after fish! We mush have caught about 50 fish between us. It was a great experience and is highly recommended. I’d never fished before in my life, but after being shown what to do it was easy to pick up.

Fishing trip went very well, we knew from the start that Gage and Peyton we’re going to get us on the fish by the way we took off , very knowledgeable, very informational, and never did we feel our personal safety was being compromised! Peyton did a phenomenal job as A FIRST CLASS, FIRST MATE , had our catch cooked up for us at the Salty Cracker, and it topped off a GREAT DAY ....
