8 Hour-Full day- Inshore/Nearshore on May 16, 2025

We lived in Tampa 25 years and have used several fishing guides over the years but I can tell you that Robert Denbo is one of the best guides I’ve ever used. No exaggeration. His mission is to put you on fish and with his vast knowledge of the area and techniques, you are sure to get your money’s worth. We had an Inshore Grand Slam today (Snook, Reds, Trout) which is driven by multiple conditions but his skill, knowledge and persistence was undoubtedly a major contributing factor in our success. There are many guides to choose from but if you want a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced guide, I highly recommend Robert Denbo. Thank you for a wonderful day on the water Robert—we will be back! Fish on!

The day fishing with Captain Rob was outstanding! We are experienced fisherman who wanted to catch fish and Captain Rob set us up for sucess. The boat and equipment was top notch and his experience on the water came thru with each fish we caught! He was accommodating to our party and fun to be with as well. Captain Rob's customer service was outstanding leading up to the day of fishing! We plan on making this an annual trip with him! Best Captain I've hired in Florida by far! He deserves 40 stars! Thanks for an amazing day!

4 Hour – Inshore/Nearshore (PM) on January 17, 2025

We took an afternoon trip in cold January, and I mean cold. The captain explained where we were going, what we were fishing for, how to fish for them, what the limits were, and what to expect. As soon as we hit our first location, we were on fish. We easily caught 40+ fish and hit our limits quickly. The equipment was good, the boat was clean, and the captain's knowledge of the area made for an excellent trip. I cannot say enough good things and would recommend this to anyone looking to do some fishing in the Tampa area.

3 Hour Trip – For Kids (PM) on June 6, 2025

Captain Robert was great and we highly recommend him! We were visiting on vacation and my boys ages 8 and 10 wanted to go out fishing, so we booked a 3 hour fishing trip with Robert. My boys were thrilled when the caught tons of fish. They said it was the best time ever! We also got to enjoy a little swim to cool off. Thank you again Robert for the fishing memories my boys and us will forever remember.

Captain Robbie is a very knowledgeable and professional! He grew up in the area and has been fishing the area his entire life. His boat and nice set up is ideal for near shore fishing and getting into shallows for redfish, trout and snook. We had a very productive two days and really enjoyed Robbie’s company. He made it all easy and seamless. We’re grateful for a wonderful fishing experience! Thank you Robbie!
