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!

The 3 Hour Tour

Great trip

VERIFIED
NEW

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 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.
