Capt. Jarrod will provide you with rods and reels, as well as live bait to make your trip as productive as possible. He has all the licenses you need, and he will make sure to clean your fish for you to take home.
Book anything from a short 2-hour trip up to full-day trips targeting specific fish. Choose a trip that speaks to you, and target Kingfish, Tarpon, or Shark on one of the specialized trips!
You can head inshore and explore the flats, mangroves, bridges, docks and rock piles in Tampa Bay. There are a lot of different species you can target here – Redfish, Snook, Snapper, Tripletail, Flounder, and Spanish Mackerel.
Everything you need for a great outing is some sun protection, food, and drinks. Tips are not expected but are appreciated, so if you have a good time you can tip your captain. The deck mate joins in to help when it comes to beginner anglers, and he works for tips.
Capt. Jarrod also partners with a few local captains in the Tampa Bay area. If you have a large party, they can set up a large trip with multiple boats. They can even organize a small tournament or a contest for you!
Grab some hats and sunglasses, bring some snacks, and get ready to explore the Gulf of Mexico with Aquatic Escapes!

We had a great time for nephew's birthday.
So glad you had fun!

The guys worked hard and put us on fish.
So glad y'all had fun! Come back soon.

Unfortunately we didn’t have good weather. It was only 49 degrees, cloudy with wind and rain. Captain Jarrod took us up into the Little Manatee River to start. We were hoping that the wind would die down for us to get out on the bay. I caught a couple of fish but nothing we could keep. My dad and father in law had opportunities but either missed them or lost them. We tried to go out to the bay but it was too rough. We did try another spot but no luck. We had to call it an hour early because of a storm coming in. It’s not captain Jarrod’s fault that we had bad weather and we did have our chances to hook fish. I would recommend him and if I get a chance next year I would like to try it again. Thanks captain Jarrod!

Me and my son booked Jarrod to have some fun on the water. Jarrod and his mate were a blast and they put us on Snapper and Spanish Mackerels. Best 4 hours I’ve ever experienced and would recommend Jarrod if wanting to experience a great day on the water catching fish. Jarrod cleaned all our fish afterwards and put in bags on ice!?
So glad you had fun fishing with us. Hope to see you again soon!
I purchased this trip as a birthday present for my son who works so hard he doesn't get time to fish. He invited a childhood friend I Had not seen in decades. Captain Jarrod did everything to make this a special day. They pulled in fish after fish which the captain expertly fileted. I baked the Spanish mackerel in seasoned panko crumbs and he took them back to Atlanta for a special dinner. Every thing about the trip couldn't have been better. I was so happy they both had a good time.
I'm so happy this was so amazing for everyone!
