Come enjoy a fun and exciting day on the beautiful waters of Pasco County with Sports Coast Inshore Charters! Captain Brian Harris grew up on these waters, so he knows the best grounds for productive fishing.

You'll go out on the brand new 24' Tidewater bay boat, powered by a Yamaha 250 HP engine. It will get you to the richest honey holes in no time! The boat can accommodate up to 6 people, but 5 can fish at a time.

Try reeling in some of the most prized fish of the area. You'll be using Penn rods and reels, provided by Capt. Brian. Live bait will be caught before the trip, so everything will be ready when you arrive. Capt. Brian will make sure to clean your catch at the docks upon your return, and he'll pack it up so that you can take it home for dinner.

Depending on the trip you choose, you'll target some inshore species like Redfish, Trout, Snook, Snapper, and Spanish Mackerel. If you go a little further offshore, you can target King Mackerel and Gag Grouper. If the Silver King is one of your bucket list species, you can target it on one of the specialized Tarpon trips.

You can also experience scalloping in this natural area, as well as going on a snorkeling adventure. There's snorkeling equipment on the boat, so you can ask your captain to do it on any trip.

This can be a fun family experience, making some great memories your kids will remember forever! Children older than 5 are welcome aboard, and there are life jackets for their safety.

Your captain will have snacks and drinks for you, and there's a large cooler on board, so don't hesitate to bring your own food and drinks. Make sure to bring a hat and some sunscreen so you can have an enjoyable time on the water.

    4 hour inshore from Hudson Beach

    Half Day Trip (AM) – Inshore on April 9, 2026

    We did the 4 hour inshore charter out of Hudson Beach. We had a great time. I took my 14yr old son, he’s into fishing. I don’t fish, I hunt. I had a great time. We caught trout, snapper and a flounder. Had the trout for dinner, fantastic! Would definitely book another charter with Brian, probably longer next time. I could’ve fished all day. I might end up getting into fishing now. Thanks again Brian

    KY Fishers Experience FL

    Half Day Trip (PM) – Inshore on May 16, 2024 • 3 adults

    Captain Brian did an amazing job for our first chartering and fishing experience in FL. He was easy to contact beforehand to answer any questions we had. He was timely picking us up and explaining where we would be going to fish. He was extremely knowledgeable about the types of fish and educated us on how to properly cast and reel for the best chance of catching fish. He was so kind and informative and took the time to take us to several different locations to catch different fish. I definitely recommend Captain Brian. He’s very laid back and easy to talk to and knows his way around the water! Thank you for the wonderful experience! Sandra, Billy, and Meghan

    Wonderful fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip (PM) – Inshore on March 20, 2024 • 2 adults

    Had a good day with Captain Brian. Awesome guy with tons of knowledge on everything from casting to tricks on how to get the fish to bite. We had a great time! One of our catches was a Flounder! That Flounder was delicious. We are definitely booking Captain Brian again on our next trip to Florida. Highly recommended!

    Great trip today! It was me and my two boys on the trip and we were glad to be with Captain Brian. He was great with communication prior to the trip, was great to talk with as we fished, and was great with my boys. He took us to several different spots and we caught some good size trout.

    Great Boat, Wonderful Guide, Memorable Day

    Half Day Trip (AM) – Inshore on May 21, 2022 • 2 adults

    Brian was an amazing fishing guide who took the time to answer our many questions about the area and the fishing. He took us to a variety of spots and got us on fish. In fact, we caught these two (redfish and sea trout) that were too big to keep! We had a memorable day and would highly recommend Brian as a guide. Boat was very clean, well kept and well outfitted. He had everything we needed and even cleaned our catch for us. We hope to come back with our boys and go out again!

Captain Brian is a local, and he has been fishing since he was 8 years old. He decided to pursue his passion and recently became a licensed captain. Fishing is what he loves most, and he enjoys being able to take out people who can't fish on their own or don't have the knowledge to do so. He really enjoys giving people a great experience, and nothing makes him happier than the smiles on people's faces when they catch a prized fish. He is also a firefighter. He's been a firefighter-paramedic for 6 years. He participated in the First Responder Games tournament for firefighters, police, and military. Last time his team placed 4th. 'I have been fishing since I can remember, and I grew up fishing with family and friends. I lived in Pasco County my entire life and know the waters like my own backyard.'
