Tampa Fishing report
The fishing has been really good in the Gulf off of Tampa Bay. I recently had a great group of Kentucky boys on vacation visiting Florida for their first time. They said they were told Tampa bay has some of the best fishing around and I don’t think they were disappointed. Caught some nice King Fish.
Ratings & Reviews Summary
October 31, 2025
Captain Steve is amazing and has everything you need for your fishing adventure. We fished for about 4 hours and caught something the second our hook hit the water. We were able to catch redfish, trout, and almost a snook! He took us to a couple of different spots and if the fish stopped biting he’d know exactly where to go next. We all had a blast fishing and can’t wait to book with him again!
October 31, 2025
Highly recommended! You won’t be disappointed. Very knowledgeable and great with our boys. Very kid friendly. Thanks for a great fishing trip with our boys. We will be booking again!!

We went out for my sons 13th birthday and had an absolute blast. Will definitely use them in the future. The look on the kids faces when they saw that shark come beside the boat was priceless!
October 31, 2025
Capt. Steve seemed like a good guy and was very personable. Kept us on fish even under not so great fishing conditions. Would recommend using his charter and will likely do so again when we return to the area.

Captain Steven Swindle is the best! This was my groups third trip with him. We have always caught lots of fish no matter the season or weather condition. We will definitely book again in the future.

We have booked with Captain Steve for many years and we have never been disappointed! Captain Steve goes above and beyond to make sure our fishing trips are fun and memorable. We are always catching fish and having a great time, once you've had the best the others do not compare!!
