Your trip will start on a 22' Ranger bay boat, a reliable vessel that can accommodate up to 4 anglers.

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.

Great Fishing with a Great Captain
3 Hour Trip on March 22, 2026 • 3 adults
Captain Tony was great - accomodated a last second change to add a fourth member, took us to multiple spots, caught 7 different species, saw manatees, sharks, and dolphins, great conversations about his history in Tampa and fishing in the area. He made the most of a quick 3 hour trip with lots of fish after a cold front, would book again.

Tony was great and a true professional. If one location was slow we moved on to another where the fish were biting.
Also when fish stole our bait, Tony had another baited rod ready to get us back in the game. Very little downtime.
Highly recommend Tony.

Great. Captain! Made great calls all day!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 3, 2025 • 3 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.

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
