Welcome to Pocket Change Inshore Fishing Charters! Captain Anthony Corcella is a USCG licensed fishing guide with a lifetime of experience. You can join him for many adventures on the flats, backcountry, and nearshore waters of Tampa Bay, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg. He welcomes anglers of all skill levels, from novice to advanced!

Step aboard a 24’ Carolina Skiff, built in 2015 and powered by a 140 HP Suzuki engine. With a maximum cruising speed of 45 knots, this craft doesn’t waste any time taking you to the fishing grounds. Her sleek design allows you to fish in skinny water where most boats cannot go. On board you will find the latest fishing technology, including Simrad electronics, a wireless trolling motor, and a live bait well. This boat is also wheelchair accessible, with space on board for up to six passengers.

To take advantage of all the fishing possibilities and customer requests, Capt. Anthony trailers his boat and takes you to the best fishing available at the time of your charter. He specializes in light tackle fishing, using many different techniques both with artificial and live bait. He supplies Star Rods with Penn reels, including fly fishing equipment.

Whether fishing the fertile flats with a top water plug for Trout, live bait fishing a giant school of Redfish in Tampa Bay, or sight fishing for Tarpon along the beaches of St. Petersburg, this area offers a great variety of fishing opportunities and locations. These inshore waters are home to many large, hard fighting game fish! You can try fishing for a West Coast “Grand Slam” of Snook, Trout, and Redfish in one day. And when conditions are right, you can even catch the ultimate “Super Grand Slam” by adding a Tarpon!

Pocket Change Inshore Fishing Charters include everything you need, from a fishing license to quality tackle. Depending on the species, you can keep your catch and Capt. Anthony will clean and fillet it for you.

Just come aboard ready for great fishing!

Great trip
The 3 Hour Tour on July 22, 20252 adults3 children
We took our 3 kids (ranging 3, 9, and 12) on a 3 hr inshore fishing trip. Anthony and Jay were great. Boat was perfect. We caught a red drum, a cat fish, and a shark. My kids hoped to catch more fish but that’s the chance you take on the water. They tried a few different spots and the fish weren’t biting. We still had a great time out on the water. It was a beautiful day. My kids enjoyed cooking up and eating the red drum fish!

Captain Anthony was amazing! the weather didnt wanna participate and left us in a heavy fog. He was still able to keep the group entertained and catching fish throughout the trip would highly recommend him and his crew looking forward to our next charter!

Half Day Trip - Inshore (Midday) on December 13, 20253 adults
I took a blind 23 year old fishing and requested a hard fighting fish so that he could hear the drag “screaming “. Our first fishing spot was for small sharks (bonnet head). That was a perfect way to start the day. Caught two nice sized sharks and the young man’s day was made in the first half hour!

Great Experience, Go with Pocket Change!!!
Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM) on July 25, 20254 adults1 child
Captain worked hard to put us on fish and was very easy to work with. For the new fisherman he baited hooks and took fish off lines. For experienced fisherman, he let them do it if they wanted. Super friendly and everyone had fun. Fished shore and in the bay. End of the day he cleaned, filet, and prepped the fish we caught and tasted great.
