Sports Coast Inshore Charters offers private fishing trips across Florida’s Sports Coast, with departures from Hudson, St. Petersburg, Port Richey, and Holiday. All trips are led by Captain Brian Harris, a lifelong Florida angler who grew up fishing these waters and launched his guiding business in 2019. His local knowledge of Pasco County and the surrounding Gulf Coast allows guests to fish productive areas while enjoying a relaxed, family-friendly experience.

In Hudson, FL, trips take place on the scenic waters of Pasco County. Anglers fish aboard a 24’ Tidewater bay boat powered by a Yamaha 250 HP engine, with room for up to six guests, five fishing at a time. Using Penn rods and reels, guests can target Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, and Spanish Mackerel. Nearshore trips may include King Mackerel and Gag Grouper, while specialized Tarpon trips focus on the Silver King. Scalloping and snorkeling are also available during the season, with equipment provided. Catch cleaning is included, and snacks and drinks are available on board.

St. Petersburg trips focus heavily on Tarpon fishing, with additional opportunities for Snapper, Snook, Redfish, and Spanish Mackerel depending on conditions. These trips range from 4 to 10 hours and are run aboard a 24’ Tidewater equipped with a wireless trolling motor and ice box. Light tackle, heavy tackle, spinning, and fly fishing techniques are used. All fishing licenses, gear, snacks, and drinks are included, and legal catch may be kept.

Out of Port Richey, Captain Brian offers 4 to 8-hour inshore and nearshore trips targeting Snapper, Grouper, Redfish, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, and Cobia. Techniques include bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, and fly fishing. The boat is fully equipped, licenses are covered, and children are welcome.

Holiday, FL trips explore grass flats, mangroves, and nearshore structure. Species may include Redfish, Snook, Trout, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Tarpon, Flounder, and Cobia. Fly fishing is available, catch cleaning is included, and all trips are private. Kids are welcome, alcohol is allowed in moderation, and Captain Brian ensures all regulations are followed.

Whether you’re fishing with family, targeting Tarpon, or planning a seasonal scalloping trip, Sports Coast Inshore Charters delivers a genuine Gulf Coast fishing experience backed by local knowledge and hands-on guidance.
