Here is your chance to fish on some of the most exciting flats on the Suncoast of Florida! We will spend our day stalking these fish in the waters of Saint Joseph Sound, Tampa Bay and in the estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico. These areas have an amazing landscape of sand flats, mangroves and turtle grass flats. This gives us ample opportunities to find happy fish at all parts of the tide cycle. Sight fishing is a rush like no other. We will be poling around on the flats usually in about a foot of water. Visibility is fantastic on these flats, so bring your A game. These fish don't get this big by being stupid.
Our primary focus will be on the big three, Redfish, Snook and Tarpon. But I like to have clients cast at whatever comes into range. Depending on conditions, you might hook into Black Drum, Sheepshead, Bonefish, Cobia, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Permit, Tripletail or Speckled Trout and who knows what else!
The Saltmarsh Heron 18 is loaded up with the best gear and tackle! You bring the passion, and we will supply the rest!
About the Captain:
Man, I love what I do! Being a guide, for me is an excuse to fish with new friends and give them the bow time they have been longing for. Sight fishing for Florida's top inshore species is an addiction and gets your blood pumping! It is similar to hunting where you have to pay close attention, read your surroundings while stalking these fish to take advantage of opportunities. Going after snook, Tarpon, and big Redfish are just a few of the targets you will see on each trip. Sight fishing the flats is a challenge with some big rewards and my clients absolutely love it!
I love the history of fishing here in Florida. I grew up watching Flip on the Walker's Cay Chronicles and José Wejebe, dreaming that one day I would have a chance to be a guide. I started Tampa Bay Fishing Charters to bring that dream to life. I know I will never be Flip but hopefully I can do my part to continue growing the passion for this sport through my client's adventures. I hope to see you on the bow soon!
