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.

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.

Best Mothers Day Gift

3 Hour Trip - 8:00 AM on May 10, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

Captain Tony is amazing. The day before he reached directly out to me to offer additional assistance information that helped our trip day run smoother. His choice in areas were both diverse and had plenty of fish. We were able to catch a Snapper and Trout that were dinner worthy for my family all while getting to experience the bay, seeing dolphins, sharks, and stingrays during our fishing time. He was also very knowledgeable and helpful once it came to setting the bait up on the hooks, casting, and giving us some great history lessons about the area. This was a Mother’s Day trip that did not disappoint and as a bonus got some fish for a solid dinner. Thank you Captain!

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 7, 2026 • 4 adults

My son and I booked a half day inshore trip with Captain Tony.  Despite a day where fish seemed elusive, Tony’s in depth knowledge of the waters and conditions ensured he put us on fish.  He moved us to multiple locations and we ended up with a very successful day.  Double figures of fish in the boat and a number of excellent fish.  We highly recommend Tony.

Captain Tony Gets Ut Done! 🎣🤙

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 30, 2026 • 4 adults

Had a great time out on the waters catching a myriad of species of fish. Captain Tony is a great guy with tons of knowledge and experience and it shows. We caught a variety of fish in multiple spots including silver trout, speckled trout, ladyfish, a snook and even some black tip sharks. Highly recommended and would do again 👍

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
