Based out of Redington Shores, Captain Gills is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Capt. Gillean will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in drift fishing and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 2 to 12-hour trips, mainly fishing for Snapper, Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, and Snook, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 14’ McKee Craft boat that can safely take up to 3 anglers. This boat features an ice box.

When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. The captain will supply all the needed fishing licenses for your trip. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.
