About Your Trip

Get ready for an exciting day on the water with Captain Drew! Whether you’re a seasoned angler, a first-timer, or planning a family outing, Captain Drew’s inshore trips around Tampa Bay, Bradenton, and St. Pete are perfect for anyone looking to relax, have fun, and reel in some incredible catches. A lifelong Floridian, Captain Drew grew up fishing these waters and knows exactly where to go to put you on the fish.

Depending on the season and conditions, you’ll target some of Florida’s favorite inshore species. From the striking colors of Redfish and Spotted Seatrout to the challenge of Snook and Tarpon, and the tasty appeal of Snapper and Grouper, there’s always something biting! Captain Drew tailors every trip to match your goals, using techniques like spinning and bottom fishing to make sure everyone on board is engaged and having a great time. Whether you're chasing dinner or just the thrill of the fight, there's something for everyone.

Trips run 4 to 6 hours, giving you plenty of time to explore the area’s inshore hotspots. Captain Drew will have all the gear you need, including high-quality rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. Whether you're new to fishing or a seasoned pro, Captain Drew is happy to teach you the ropes, answer questions, and share tips to help you make the most of your trip. He’s especially great with families and large groups, making his trips a perfect way to spend quality time together on the water.

Drinks and light snacks are provided on board, so all you need to bring are weather-appropriate clothes, sunscreen, and any additional snacks or beverages you’d like. Captain Drew’s friendly attitude, local knowledge, and passion for fishing make every trip a memorable adventure. Whether it’s your first time on the water or your hundredth, Captain Drew is ready to make your day one to remember!

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.
