You and Captain Tony will explore the south Tampa Bay area and search for many prized fish that dwell in these productive waters. Bring the whole family and have a terrific time in nature fishing nearshore waters, flats, as well as the shallow backcountry waters of the beautiful Tampa Bay!

Your trip will start on a 22’ Ranger bay boat, a reliable vessel that can accommodate up to 4 anglers. It uses a 200 HP Suzuki engine that can reach a maximum cruising speed of 38 knots, has got modern navigation technology that features GPS, a fishfinder, and radio, and is equipped with a livewell to supply you with live bait.

Using light tackle, you’ll have the chance to reel in many fine fish species, some of them being Jack Crevalle, Tarpon, Spanish Mackerel, and Bluefish. Children are free to join the trip. As for catch policies, you can choose either to keep your fish or release it back into the water.

Captain Tony’s got you covered for all the fishing gear, which includes rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. As he also provides you with fishing licenses, yours is only to bring your favorite food and drinks before you depart.

Come aboard and have a fun fishing experience with Capt Tony Frankland Inshore Fishing!

Great. Captain! Made great calls all day!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 3, 20253 adults
The weather was really iffy. It looked like it was gonna rain all day with thunderstorms. We told the captain we would rely on him and his experience and as long as he kept us safe, we didn’t care if we got wet. We did get wet to start with, but then the rain went away. We were catching fish while it was wet sea trout primarily, but caught a couple of nice Spanish mackerel. We got a catfish a couple of ladyfish a couple of small hammerhead looking sharks. It was a great day. The captain and his boat and equipment were wonderful. Would highly recommend him.

Great fishing with a great Captain!!
3 Hour Mid Day Trip on March 12, 20251 adult2 children
On a recent (Mar 2024) chartered nearshore fishing trip with Capt. Tony Franklin, the three of us (including two ten year old boys) caught numerous fish of several different types. Capt. Franklin put us on fish within 2 mins. of the first cast and kept us on the fish until our very last cast of the day!! Capt. Franklin is a super capable fishing guide and a pleasure to interact with during the trip! Book a trip with Captaincies. Franklin and you will not be disappointed or sit idle waiting for bites. Truly a wonderfully memorable trip!!! Highly, highly recommended!!

We had the most beautiful day!! our captain was awesome showed us all around, was funny, told stories. Caught lots of fish! My favorite part is that we got to see dolphins and a manatee! The manatee came right up to the boat and stuck his head out of the water looked at us and then swim away! it was the coolest thing ever. I've never experienced that before in the wild, so cool
