The waters around St. Petersburg are some of the most productive and exciting inshore fishing in the entire Sunshine State. Take A Day Off Fishing Charters takes a step further and combines excellent fishing with premier customer service to make for an unforgettable fishing trip!

Captain Thomas Dominguez invites you to join him on board his 22’ Century for an exciting inshore excursion. She’s a bay boat with a roomy deck, able to hold you and 3 fishing partners fishing in comfort. She’s powered by a 250 HP Yamaha outboard engine – thanks to her shallow draft and powerful engine you can cruise at a max speed of 40 knots.

Capt. Thomas will take you after a wide range of gorgeous inshore species in the bountiful waters around St. Petersburg. The onboard wireless trolling motor allows you to sneak up on the likes of Redfish, Snook or Spotted Seatrout. If you’re looking to test your fishing muscles, hook up a Jack Crevalle or Cobia, some of the best fighters pound-for-pound.

Trophy anglers can look forward to the famous Silver King. Going after these great beasts is a fun challenge, especially on light tackle! Remember to bring a waterproof camera to take pictures, so you can show your new personal best back home.

The captain will provide you with all the necessary equipment for the trip. You should bring polarized sunglasses, adequate clothing, and sunscreen, the sunshine in Florida can get pretty hot.

If you’re ready for some thrilling action with the chance of landing a Tarpon of a lifetime book a trip with Take A Day Off Fishing Charters!
