Welcome to 48off Adventures! Come fishing alongside Captain Nate Everhardt, a passionate angler committed to finding the best game fish possible for his guests. While working as a firefighter for the Fire Department, Nate turned his passion for fishing into a business. On his days off, he’s dedicated to making sure you have the best fishing experience possible. For the past four years, Capt. Nate has been participating in professional fishing tournaments (Florida pro Redfish series and the IFA Redfish series).

The adventure starts at the Hooks restaurant, in the little harbor of Ruskin, FL. When you meet the captain, he’ll take you to his 24’ Hanson boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This bay boat is powered by a 150 HP Suzuki engine and features modern navigational electronics. To make your trip more successful, you’ll also find a fighting chair, a cooler, a live bait tank, downriggers, and a wireless trolling engine on board.

Capt. Nate specializes in catching Tarpon, which is his favorite target. The Silver King is capable of making long runs and flying high, which cannot leave you indifferent. You can also go after Redfish, Snook, Trout, Jack Crevalle, Snapper, Grouper, and many more.

It’s easy to get ready for the trip - just bring some snacks and sun protection. The captain will take care of everything else - your fishing equipment, licenses, drinks, and catch cleaning service. The trips are family friendly, so bring your kids along as well!

48off Adventures is always ready for another adventure on the water. They’re happy to share the next one with you.
