Get ready for a fishing adventure of a lifetime. Customize your fishing adventure to fight hard pulling grouper and Cobia in the deep waters of the bay or sight fish for screaming Snook and redfish on the flats. Enjoy breathtaking views and see dolphins, manatees and sea turtles.
Capt. Tom will arm you with rods, reels, and tackle. You will be using frozen and live bait to make that catch of the day possible. When you return to shore, your catch will be cleaned and ready to go straight into the frying pan. Just bring along some appropriate clothes and your own snacks.
If you like boats, you'll also love the 2014 Pioneer 22' bay boat. She can run in 12 inches on the flats or deep water, perfect for three to four fishing. No fancy decals, just a fish-catching machine – anywhere on Tampa Bay.
Please note that kids must be at least 8 years old. Clients should wear appropriate footwear (non-marking tennis shoes, hiking sandals). Flip flops, beach sandals, and bare feet are not safe as clients may slip and fall. Weather you a beginner or an expert, Captain Tom will help you reel in the big dogs. Remember, if you don't catch a fish the trip is always half price!

The captain was incredibly knowledgeable and provided us with the exact instructions on how to catch the fish. We ended up with a diverse catch, including a stingray, which was an incredible experience. He was also very patient and attentive to the children, making the trip enjoyable for everyone. I would definitely book with him again.
Thank you. I’m glad y’all had fun.
The Captain was great with the kids. He really seems to know the area well and has been doing this for quite a while. I would highly recommend for families.

Our trip was awesome, we didn't catch any keepers not for a lack of trying, my boys (11 &10) had a wonderful time. Captain Tom was very patient with my boys playful too, he made the trip real fun for them. We did catch a bunch of fish but the big one got away! We had a wonderful time I would highly recommend this trip for anybody with kids or beginners, book your trip and enjoy your time!
