4th Generation Fishing Charters

If you’re ready to start fishing in Clearwater, book a trip with 4th Generation Fishing Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain James can tell you all about the local fishery.

Snowy Grouper, Spotted Seatrout, Red Grouper, Gag Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Hogfish, Mangrove Snapper, Tarpon, Goliath Grouper, Snook, Amberjack, Great Barracuda, and more are in the cards if you cast your line at the right time of year. You’ll target your catch by spinning, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your adventure begins aboard a 30’ Custom Center Console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. James has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that’s it! Your fishing trip with 4th Generation Fishing Charters is just a click away.
