Clay Philips Fishing Guide & Rides – 19'
Clay Philips Fishing Guide & Rides is here for anglers of all skill levels! Join Captain Clay, who has over 50 years of fishing experience and a long line of happy customers he guided over those years. Lots of people caught their first fish on his boat with the tips they learned from him. Now, it’s time for your family or group of friends to get your slice of the action.
The boat you’ll be fishing from is a 19’ Polar skiff that accommodates up to 4 anglers. She’s powered by a Yamaha 115 HP engine and will take you to your spot in no time. There’s enough space for every angler to fish in comfort.
On a typical trip, you’ll get to target a variety of saltwater species. You’ll explore the flats and different inshore spots for Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Trout, and Black Drum. Let the captain know what you’d like to catch the most, and he’ll do his best to accommodate you.
All fishing equipment, including rods, reels, bait, and lures are covered by the captain. He also takes care of your fishing licenses and cleans your catch after the trip. You only need to pack snacks and drinks for the day.
The trip with Clay Philips Fishing Guide & Rides is what you want it to be - a fun day of bonding with your family, learning more about fishing, relaxing in nature, or all of those things at once.

AMAZING experience!
My dad surprised me with a fishing trip while we were vacationing in Florida. Clay was absolutely wonderful. We really enjoyed getting to know him and converse. He has a wealth of knowledge about the area and what you can expect going out. The equipment was great and he was happy to help as much or little as requested. He was so quick to bait another pole heck I don’t think there was a moment in our trip I didn’t have one in my hand ready to cast out haha My dad and I caught some great redfish to take home and eat :) Thank you for such a wonderful experience, sir!
