Wade Osborne, Captain at Afishionado Guide Services, Inc.
Identity Verified
Tampa/St. Petersburg fishing guide, Captain Wade Osborne is among the very best in the business when it comes to providing world-class light tackle spin/fly/plug inshore sportfishing for snook, redfish, seatrout, and more. Most charters are provided with spinning gear, however fly and bait casting tackle is available upon request.
Whether Osborne is guiding one or six anglers to some of the world’s best inshore fishing, you’ll never catch him fishing himself or sitting on his butt. That’s because he’s too busy chumming, rigging, baiting hooks and releasing fish. He prides himself as being the hardest working fishing guide in the industry and remains on his feet tirelessly during your entire charter making sure you have the very best fishing experience available.
The longevity and success of Afishionado over the past 26-years was built on repeat clientele and referrals.
You’ll be fishing from a 24’ Sheaffer boat with enough room for up to 6 anglers. It also includes an ice box and a fighting chair (available upon request).
When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. Osborne also supplies all the needed fishing licenses for your trip. You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.
Kids are welcome aboard too, so you’re free to make it a family adventure.

Ratings & Reviews Summary

Captain Oz was fantastic! Put us on the snook all day long. I set my personal best record with 21 snook to the boat. I will be planning many more trips with Afishionado guide services in the future.

Wade was really fun and worked hard to keep us on the fish. We had a great day and highly recommend his service and fishing expertise.

Had a great day on the water with Captain Wade. We were on fish (snook) all the time. My boys had a great time and I caught my first saltwater fish on a fly. I’ve been on charters before, but I can easily say that Wade probably had the best communication of any of them. If you’re in the Tampa area, he’s worth the drive.

We have chartered a fishing trip with Wade several times now and he never disappoints! He is a fantastic guy and an even better guide, he definitely knows his stuff. He is so helpful and willing to teach that even if you don't have a lot of fishing experience you will still have a successful day! We have always caught a multitude of species, including some we weren't expecting! He also will clean and fillet your catch for you so they're ready to be cooked! Plus he is a great conversationalist! We refuse to charter with anyone else!

You need to fish with Wade.... He listens to what you are looking for in your experience, then teaches, yes teaches you how to get them hooked up! Super successful day with many species landed. Do yourself the favor and book a trip! Thanks again! Until next time.

Professional. Expert. Exciting. MONSTER FISH. Spanish Mackeral, Red Snapper, Trout, Redfish, and Snook - all in one trip. I lost count how many times I've fished with Capt. Wade or how many different people I have brought on his boat - but, I have never left dissatisfied. One time we went hunting for Tarpon, and when that was slow, he took us to spots where we hooked up on snook and trout - no Tarpon, but we caught fish - you will always catch fish. This last trip was the second time with my pal Brian from Ohio - this may have been the BEST time I've ever had on the water fishing, with Brian scoring an in-shore slam from ONE spot and all within 10 minutes. Saturday, the water was a mess, he kept us out of the wind and on fish. Sunday, started out rough, but eased into a great day - and, again, ON FISH. A true estimate, we caught over 80 fish - quality fish. "Wade, here is what I want to target .." OK - let's go. "Wade, Brian just wants to catch fish .." OK - here we go. He gives you options, he suggests what may or may not be available due to weather and sea conditions. And, the guy is ONE FUNNY SOB !!!! You will not be disappointed -
