Captain T.J. Bellotti and True Story Fishing Charters welcome you to Ruskin, Florida. The captain fishes the beautiful and diverse Tampa Bay area for a variety of species. Whether it is on the flats and mangrove islands for Redfish, Snook, and Trout, or the deeper water for Grouper, Snapper, and Cobia, he will take you there. Come join him on the inshore and nearshore waters of Ruskin and have a great time on the water.

You will be fishing aboard a 22’ Bulls Bay boat that can fish up to 4 people comfortably sporting an 8.5’ beam. This boat has a smooth, dry ride, and can go shallow or deep, making it perfect for a trip in Tampa Bay. It is equipped with a 112 lb trolling motor with GPS anchoring, a 10’ Power Pole, and powered by a 200 HP Suzuki four stroke engine.

Captain T.J. will supply you with all the rods, reels, tackle, bait, as well as licenses, and he will even clean and fillet your catch free of charge. You should only bring some snacks and drinks before you depart.

Come visit True Story Fishing Charters and create wonderful but true fishing memories!

TJ did an amazing job! We were very comfortable with him and enjoyed our day on the water. He gave great instructions and guided us on what to do and expect when fishing inland. He hit his spots and we plucked a couple out while listening to good music and closed the day out how he suggested by having them cooked at the local restaurant! Thanks again for a wonderful experience...

Captain TJ was great with our 10 and 8 year old boys. We were very happy with his knowledge, expertise and attitude. We got to catch a variety of fish in different locations. We even had an up close encounter with a manatee and got to see a dolphin as well. As first timers to Tampa we were very happy we chose to go on this trip!
