There's a fish with your name on it in Clearwater, and 2 Shea Charters will help you catch it!

Depending on the season, you might hook into Amberjack, Grouper, Mangrove, Lane, Vermilion and Red Snappers, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Grunt, Blacktip Shark, and whatever else is biting. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

You'll be casting lines from a 42' Saltwater fishing with space for 6 guests and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a restroom on board as well as Direct TV, Sirius radio, and live weather radar even when offshore. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it ahead of time, so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to assist you and make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10%–20% tip at the end of the day is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask, and your captain can tell you more. It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, snacks, and drinks. There will be bottled water available on board.

Fish caught during the trip are yours to take home, provided they're legal to keep. The Mate can even clean your catch for you, so have a cooler ready in the car! If you're traveling with the family, you'll be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard. There's no need to buy a fishing license. Just show up ready for a good time!

Capt Good was Great!
Half Day 4 Hour Trip on June 24, 20264 adults1 child

We had an awesome fishing trip and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We caught several grouper along with a variety of other fish, which made for an exciting day on the water. Captain Good was knowledgeable, thorough, and made sure everyone was taken care of from start to finish. He worked hard to keep us on the fish and made the trip enjoyable for everyone onboard. First Mate Cole was outstanding. He was attentive, friendly, and always there to help with bait, tackle, and landing fish. His hard work and positive attitude really made a difference. If you’re looking for a professional crew that works hard and wants you to have a successful trip, I highly recommend booking with Captain Good and First Mate Cole. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing Experience
4 Hour PM Fishing Trip on June 16, 20265 adults1 child

We booked a nearshore trip with 2 Shea Fishing and came home with great memories, lots of fish, and a newfound appreciation for Dramamine. From the first message, 2 Shea was fantastic. Communication was quick, helpful, and detailed, which made planning the trip easy and stress-free. On the water, Captain Andrew and first mate Cole (hope I got that right ?) were the perfect combination of professional, knowledgeable, funny, and patient. We had a group of 3 adults and 3 teens, and they made sure everyone was involved, having fun, and catching fish. Whether it was helping bait hooks, untangling lines, or celebrating a catch, they never seemed rushed or bothered. The crew did an excellent job balancing safety with a relaxed, fun atmosphere. A few members of our group discovered that their sea legs may have been left on shore, but Andrew and Cole were incredibly attentive—making sure they had water, access to shade, and were doing okay, while still keeping the rest of us fishing and having a great time. As for the fishing, it exceeded every expectation we had. We caught grouper, red snapper, blowfish, and even a nurse shark. One thing that really stood out was how much they seemed to care that we had a memorable experience. They even took photos for us throughout the trip so we could stay focused on the fun. We've done plenty of family activities and excursions over the years, and this was easily one of the highlights. If you're looking for a fishing charter with a great captain, a fantastic mate, plenty of laughs, and a crew that genuinely wants you to succeed, book with 2 Shea Fishing. We'll definitely be back. Next time, we'll just be a little more prepared for the waves than the fish were.

amazing experience!
4 Hour PM Fishing Trip on June 10, 20263 adults2 children

We could not have been more impressed. Captain Andrew and his nephew Cole were amazing. We were catching fish like crazy, and they were always there to either re-bate or take fish off the lines. If we were snagged they quickly took over and handed us another pole ready to go. If the fish stopped biting, we moved to another spot. Each spot seemed just as good, if not better than the last. My husband and I had our three teenage boys (ages 19, 17, and 14) and it is their favorite part of our trip. We did the 4 hour trip and it was the perfect length of time. We caught so many fish, at least half way into our trip we were just catching and releasing, We had already caught more than enough for dinner. Once we returned, they cleaned all the fish, wrapped it up on ice, and recommended several places we could go to have it prepared. Again, the fish and the food were amazing. cooked to perfection 🤌, the best fresh fish dinner 😋! All around, a perfect experience. It was a beautiful day, out on the ocean, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Awesome experience
5 Hour trip on March 19, 20264 adults2 children

We had an absolutely incredible experience with 2 Shea Fishing Charter! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Capt good was not only knowledgeable and professional but also made the trip fun and relaxed for everyone on board. First mate Cole was awesome! You can tell they truly love what they do and take pride in giving their guests a great day on the water. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the fishing was fantastic—we were catching fish and making memories the whole time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a beginner, they make sure you feel confident and have a great time. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure, I can’t recommend 2 Shea Fishing Charter enough. We’ll definitely be booking again!

The very best day of vacation!
5 Hour trip on March 27, 20266 adults

Absolutely incredible day with Captain Andrew and Cole! We knew we were in good hands from the moment we arrived. They were extremely knowledgeable, putting us on the fish within minutes of our first stop, and we ended up hitting our limit for snapper! They were very patient with the entire family, and made sure we all had a blast. The trip overall was top-tier, and he even filleted our catch at the dock. We were there to celebrate a birthday and Captain Andrew definitely created a memorable time. Highly recommend if you are looking for a "best day of vacation" experience.
