Florida Reels Fishing Charters will take you into the heart of Florida fishing – in Tampa Bay! This area’s estuary is loaded with the inshore sport fish everyone wishes to catch, and most of the catch is also great table fare. Come fishing with a USCG licensed Captain, Christopher Taylor. He has over 20 years of experience fishing the waters of Tampa Bay and will take you out for an experience that will last.

You’ll be fishing from a brand new fishing machine, called “Savannah.” This 21’ Clearwater bay boat has been built in 2019 to meet the Captain’s standards. She’s made specifically for this area, so you can fish water as skinny as 10 inches but also cut through heavy chop when necessary. The boat features high-performance Engel coolers, comfy vinyl cushions, a Bluetooth stereo, and a T-top to keep you away from the direct sunlight.

Many anglers are attracted to this area because there’s a variety of fish to catch: Tarpon, Snook, King Mackerel, Snapper, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Grouper, Sharks, Cobia, and more. Most of the time fish are close to the shore and you don’t need to travel far from the dock to catch them.

Capt. Taylor will provide your fishing equipment, lures, and live bait, cover your fishing license, and clean your catch after the trip. You can bring your beverages and snacks for the day.

Whether you’re looking for a well-earned meal or a trophy fish you can tell stories about – Florida Reels Fishing will make it happen. Book your spot on the boat now and get ready to reel ‘em in!

Tampa Bay Slam + 1 with Capt Chris Taylor

Capt Chris had the near impossible task of putting me on fish with the bay water temps over 90 degrees. He new right where to take me, had my first ever snook in the boat within 10 mins. Caught several more snook redfish and trout, even landed a small shark!
