Capt. Cody’s Tampa Bay Fishing Charters offers private, hands-on fishing trips designed around great service, honest expectations, and real results on the water. Based in Tampa Bay, Capt. Cody runs strictly inshore and nearshore trips, targeting some of Florida’s most popular saltwater species while keeping every outing relaxed, family-friendly, and fun for all skill levels.

Capt. Cody grew up fishing the local waters and started his career as a charter captain while still a teenager. After working for several charter operations around Tampa, he launched his own company in 2023 to create a more transparent and guest-first experience. He focuses on what’s biting, when it’s biting, and what guests can realistically expect on their trip. His goal is simple: deliver a great day on the water, not just rush through a charter.

Trips take place throughout Tampa Bay and nearby coastal waters, with pickup locations available around the Bay area when weather allows. This flexibility makes it easy for locals and visitors to start their trip close to where they’re staying. Fishing is done aboard a 26’ Andros center console powered by a 300HP Suzuki engine. The boat comfortably accommodates up to six guests and cruises quickly to productive fishing grounds.

Target species include Snook, Redfish, Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Cobia, Tripletail, Grunt, Triggerfish, and Goliath Grouper. Specialty trips are also available for Tarpon, sharks, and Goliath Grouper. For guests who prefer a non-fishing experience, eco tours and sunset cruises are offered year-round and focus on wildlife, scenery, and relaxing time on the water.

All tackle, bait, fuel, water, ice, fishing licenses, and fish cleaning are included. Guests only need to bring snacks or drinks, sun protection, and a camera or phone to capture the day. Groups are encouraged to tip the crew 15–20% for good service.

Capt. Cody backs every trip with a No Fish, No Fee Guarantee. If your group doesn’t catch a fish, you don’t pay. It’s his way of showing confidence in his skills and commitment to giving every guest the best possible experience on Tampa Bay.
