No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter.
You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip, but you’re welcome to release them if you decide to.
The price of your trip also includes complimentary water, but you’re welcome to bring your own drinks and food. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests.
Children are welcome aboard, so you’re good to get the young ones started early.

Michael saved the day!
Half Day Trip (PM) on February 18, 2025
We made this booking at the last minute, on the final day of our vacation, right after a charter we previously booked closer to our hotel canceled because of a mechanical issue. Michael responded immediately and we were booked with him within minutes, and then on his boat a couple hours later. We had a great day on the water and enjoyed successful fishing and learned a ton about the area, which was new to us. Michael was a terrific captain and guide who also was great with our three young boys. We highly recommend Michael and will fish with him again next time we are in town.

2 Hour Trip (Midday) on July 5, 2025
Booked this charter for my 13 year old son and I. This was my son’s first time fishing saltwater, and Captain Mike made it a trip to remember. He was excellent with him the entire time, and took us to a great location where we were able to catch 15 sharks between the two of us in a two hour trip. He taught us a ton about saltwater fishing and was a great person to be around. Highly recommend if you are looking for something fun whether you are a group of adults or if you have kids of any age. We will be back again for sure. Thanks for everything, Captain!

Early bird on June 16, 2025
My father-in-law and I had a great time out with Captain Mike. The fish weren't biting much and we had a storm roll through during our trip but Mike still got us on a few trout and snapper. We might've had one or two large snook if they hadn't broken the lines. He showed up early and let us stay out a bit later to make up for the lack of bites that day. Music on board was fantastic and Mike was very good at giving clear instructions and helping cast/bait in the right spots. I would definitely go out on the water again with Mike.

2 Hour Trip (Midday) on November 9, 2024
My son and I booked a 2 hour trip with Captain Mike. Super friendly guy and very passionate about fishing. Treated us like we were VIP’s in every way. He knows all of the good spots and how to fish them. We at first started off slow only catching one snook but Mike then said “we are not leaving the water until we have some nicer catches” and stuck true to this past the time we booked. We ended up with 9 fish after Captain Mike hit some his known hot spots. His boat is a great layed out vessel with all of the latest technologies. I will only book FLP when in Clearwater and goin fishing.

Fantastic fishing trip with captain Mike !
2 Hour Trip (AM) on September 1, 2024
I recently had the pleasure of chartering a fishing trip with Captain Mike for myself and my three boys, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Mike was an exceptional host, attentive, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. We caught over 10 trout, and my boys had an absolute blast. Captain Mike made sure everyone had a line in the water and was always there to offer guidance and tips. When the fishing slowed down, he took us to a nearby beach, where the boys had a great time swimming off the boat. To top it all off, Captain Mike filleted our catch at the end of the trip, making sure we left with not just memories but also a delicious dinner. He is truly a professional and made this an amazing experience for my family. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great day on the water!

Raised in Central Florida, have been fishing the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay for 40 years. Graduated from Eastlake High. Have always been fascinated with our local habitats around Pinellas County. Have fish from Hudson to the Skyway. I'm an inshore specialist. Specializing in big snook. Love to watch my clients catch fish, no matter what species. Great at giving knowledge on fishing and teaching knots. My motto: Know your Fish (F). Know the location of the fish (L). And your Presentation (P). Get it right, and it leads to a spectacular adventure.
