Clearwater Beach Fishing Charter
We are federally permitted, meaning we go to where the big fish are beyond the 9-mile state waters. State licensed means you fish inside 9 miles usually in less than 60’ of water. There is a big difference!
Want to catch big fish on a fast boat? Then hop aboard Clearwater Beach Fishing Charter! You’ll set off into offshore waters and bottom fish for a ton of tasty critters with Captain Gary Huggins. He’s a second-generation Florida fisherman whose number 1 priority is making sure you have a great fishing experience.
Jump aboard his 29’ Everglades center console powered by twin 2021, 300 HP Suzuki engines that get you to those productive offshore grounds fast! Extras including the latest in navigational and fishfinder technology, as well as a high-end stereo system make your trip even better.
Capt. Gary is USCG-licensed and has the permits to get you fishing beyond the 9-mile state water limit. Bottom fishing is the name of the game here and you’ll head up to 60 miles out in search of several varieties of Snapper, Grouper, Seabass, and Amberjack. You can also do some trolling for other fish that calls these waters home, including Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, and King Mackerel! Book a Shark trip and battle the big ones.
Gary also provides all licenses, equipment, and plenty of ice for your catch. Capt. Gary will prepare dead bait before the trip, but if you want to use live bait you and the captain can catch it together.
There’s no minimum age for kids and life jackets in all sizes are provided. Catch cleaning and filleting is included in the price, if the total number of fish cleaned is under 50. Your deckhand works for tips. If you’re happy with the service, a 15-20% tip is customary.
