Book with Richard Surber
Embark on an exciting aquatic adventure with Down2Fish Charters, led by the seasoned Captain Richard Surber, boasting over four decades of fishing expertise in the vibrant waters of Tampa Bay. With a lifelong passion for fishing, Captain Richard possesses unparalleled knowledge, ensuring your day on the water is not only enjoyable but also fruitful.
Climb aboard the 35’ Robalo boat, captained by Richard, for inshore or nearshore escapades. This versatile center console comfortably accommodates up to four guests, making it a family-friendly excursion. Powered by a robust 250 HP Yamaha engine, the vessel reaches a maximum speed of 40 knots. Equipped with essential features such as a live bait tank and a cooler for your catch, the boat also features a T-top for shade, though bringing a hat and sunglasses is advised.
Specializing in nearshore fishing around Tampa Bay, your guide promises an array of catch possibilities. Target species like Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Tripletail, and Sheepshead closer to the shore. Venture into slightly deeper waters to encounter Grouper, Snook, Kingfish, and Jack Crevalle.
For offshore adventures, opt for the 30’ Robalo center console, accommodating up to six anglers, including children. This state-of-the-art vessel, crafted in 2020, boasts the latest navigational electronics, a private toilet, a wireless trolling motor, and a live bait tank. Ideal for offshore trolling, this boat is equipped with outriggers and downriggers.
The rich waters of Florida offer an extensive list of target species. Closer to the shore, aim for Tarpon, Snook, Spotted Trout, and Mangrove Snapper. Venture a few miles further to encounter Kingfish, Amberjack, Cobia, Grouper, Red Snapper, and Skipjack Tuna. Benefit from a catch-and-clean service provided by the first mate.
As a delightful bonus, you can keep your catch, and Captain Richard ensures it's cleaned for you. Your fishing experience is enhanced with quality Penn and Shimano rods and reels, live bait, and fresh water. If you're bringing young enthusiasts, note that children should be at least 6 years old for an inshore trip and 10 years old for a nearshore adventure.
Beyond fishing, Down2Fish Charters offers a variety of experiences, from snorkeling to sightseeing. Whether you seek angling thrills or a tranquil getaway, Down2Fish Charters is your gateway to an unforgettable journey on Tampa Bay's captivating waters. Choose your adventure and make the most of your trip!
