Reel Passion Charters
Reel Passion Charters
Spend a relaxing day on the waters of Florida and create memories fishing with Reel Passion Charters. Starting out of Clearwater, you and Captain Nick will explore inshore and nearshore waters up to 9 miles off the coast as well as lovely flats and the backcountry. Captain Nick has been fishing Florida’s West Coast for as long as he can remember and will provide you with a trip to remember. Join him aboard and have a terrific time catching fish!
Your boat for the day will be a beautifully restored 25’ Privateer bay boat. It’s powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and can sit up to 5 anglers. The boat is equipped with a fishfinder, radio, as well as GPS for efficient navigation, a wireless trolling motor, second station, and a livewell. Also, there’s an ice-box you can use for storing your drinks and fish.
There are some great species you’ll encounter on your sea journey, some of them being Redfish, snook, Tarpon, Gag Grouper, Spotted Seatrout, and Sheepshead. You’ll use light tackle bottom fishing and spinning to attract them and you’re free to keep all the fish that doesn’t require releasing. Kids are always welcome, so feel free to bring them on your adventure.
Your trip will include all the rods, reels, tackle, live bait, fishing licenses, drinks, as well as catch cleaning. The only thing left for you to bring is whatever food you like.
Come spend a day with Reel Passion Charters and enjoy the beauty of fishing in Florida!

4 Hour Trip – Sunset
We got a Shark
Being from the Midwest we never did any sea fishing so this experience was very new to us. Captain Nick was knowledgeable and got us on some smaller fish right away. My teenage girls were having a blast catching them with every cast. We then decided to try for a shark and my wife landed a 4’ hammer head which was such an intense and fun moment for all of us. This will be a memory our family will never forget.

Captain nick was great ! A lot of knowledge and enthusiasm. Took me and my 9 year old out on a 6 hour trip ! Caught 7 different species of fish including a really nice gag grouper and trophy sea trout. Kept us moving from spot to spot to keep the reels spinning. Nicks passion shows in his work and attitude. Highly recommend booking with him.

My family went with Captain Nick offshore and were reeling in fish from the first drop to the last. Fantastic day highlighted by a good Hogfish and plenty of snapper for dinner!

Nick was amazing!
Nick knew all the spots. He had good bait. He showed my family an amazing time. We caught our own speckled trout and took it to a restaurant and ate our catch!
