When you’re in the Tampa Bay area, swing by the town of Ruskin, Florida. Captain Cody’s Charters will be waiting to provide you with the fishing experience you’re looking for. Spend a day cruising the water, enjoying the scenery, and going after your catch. Captain Cody Gibbons will do his best to cater to your needs and ensure you have an optimal fishing experience.
You’ll be cruising the local waters aboard a 23’ Triton bay boat from 2014. It is spacious enough to accommodate groups of up to 6 guests. The boat is fitted with a single 250 HP Mercury engine and can reach speeds of up to 50 mph. You’ll be at your lucky hot spot in no time. For a more stealthy approach to fishing, a wireless trolling motor is available. The boat is also equipped with fish-finding equipment to help ensure you have a good catch.
The charter covers inshore and nearshore areas, including reef and wreck locations. There’s always action in the waters of Tampa Bay, but not all fish are available throughout the year. Gag Grouper is available from July through the end of September, and you can always go after Kingfish, Spotted Seatrout, and several types of Snapper. As for fishing techniques, you can use light and heavy tackle, trolling, and drift fishing, to name a few.
Just bring your sunscreen, and the crew will take care of the rest. All the necessary gear, lures, and bait will be ready for you on board. The charter also covers your Florida fishing license. For a more comfortable trip, the crew offers drinks and snacks. If you need any additional help, a first mate is available. If you get lucky, you can keep your catch, and the crew will help you clean it. Children are welcome.
Have yourself a memorable adventure going after the big catch in the waters of Tampa Bay with Captain Cody’s Charters.

Joshua Biever5.0VerifiedNice morning
4 Hr – Inshore Fishing on November 26, 2025 • 3 adultsCody put us on the fish and made everything very very easy and enjoyable.
Braden Walker5.0VerifiedBest captain around!!
4 Hr – Inshore Fishing on February 22, 2024 • 2 adultsCody made this trip the best one we’ve ever had! Not only did he adjust his personal schedule around so we could fish on the good weather day, he made the day an absolute blast! He made sure me and my wife were comfortable and happy. We went to several fishing spots where we scored fish each time. Trout, red fish, sheeps head and snapper! If you want to have a GREAT experience on a very nice comfortable and super clean boat, I highly recommend Captain Cody! We’ve been with a few charters out here and I can tell you Cody is BY FAR the best if you want to catch fish and have a good time doing it!
