Experience the magic of fishing the beautiful waters of Tampa Bay. Fishin Magician Inshore is located in Ruskin, Florida and it offers trips that will see you chase many different species that change with the seasons. Join Captain Eric Topole and visit some of the best inshore, nearshore, and river fishing spots in the Bay.
Your trip starts on a new 24’ Blazer Bay center console boat which is powered by a 300 HP Suzuki engine, and can take up to 6 people. The boat’s navigation and fish finding systems will help you get to the prey as quick as possible. She also features a wireless trolling motor, ice-box, and livewell.
Together with Captain Eric you’ll chase Grouper, Snapper, Tripletail, Bull Shark, and many more. The captain uses light and heavy tackle and his preferred techniques include bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, and popping. A good catch also means big meals, because you can keep all the fish you catch. The Captain will even clean and fillet it for you, free of charge. He also welcomes children on the boat, so bring your whole family and spend some lovely time together.
All the fishing gear that you’ll need will be waiting for you on the boat. You’re even covered for fishing licenses, so the only thing you should bring is food and drinks.
Visit Fishing Magician Inshore and spend a charming day on the water.

Half Day Trip
Captain Eric was fantastic. Listened to how I wanted to spend the day and what I wanted to target and he put us on them. Started the day catching a couple of redfish for the chest and then headed out to the grouper spots. We managed to get a few undersized in the boat but we did hook into a few giants but they got us in the rocks before we could pull them free. Was an awesome day and will be booking again.

Full Day Trip
We had a great day with Captain Eric! He put us on a variety of fish the whole day. We limited out on mangrove snapper and caught several sheepshead, lady fish, whiting, and channel cats. Captain Eric was very professional, knowledgeable, and had a great attitude. He gave us advice and pointers when we asked and we feel we ended the day as better fishermen because of it. I would charter a trip with Eric again and highly recommend anyone looking for a private charter to book a trip with him.

4 Hour Inshore Trip
Very good experience, when we got to the place the captain was already there and waiting for us and when we got there we went right away. The captain tried to find the best spot possible to fish. He had the bait ready and we fished right away, he answered every question that we asked and was very nice. When we had a hard time fishing he also taught us tips and tricks about fishing and got the maximum number of fishes we can get and after we got off the boat he filleted all of the fish and cleaned them all for us and also adds ice for us to keep our fish fresh throughout our drive back to our house Very good experiece overall, highly reccommend.
