Spend the day with Coyote Cruise & Charter and let them show you what makes the fishing in Pasco County so memorable! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Aaron can tell you all about the local fishery.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Bull Shark, Redfish, Sheepshead, Snook, Bonnethead Shark, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Blacktip Shark, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, and whatever else takes the bait. You'll target your catch by spinning, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

Your day begins aboard a 23' Hurricane deck boat with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Coyote Cruise & Charter is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

    The Best! A++

    Half Day Trip (AM) on May 1, 2026 • 6 adults

    Aaron and Sarah were AMAZING! Such good people, we had the best time on the water with them. We caught SO many fish and they took us to some amazing locations! They had everything we needed and were extremely attentive and knowledgeable! We will definitely be going out with them again! If you’re in the area, or even if you’re not, they are worth a drive to go out with!

    BEAUTIFUL DAY ON THE WATER

    Half Day Trip (PM) on January 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had an amazing time out on the water with Captain Aaron and his first mate Sierra. What stood out to us was not only the knowledge that both of them had about the area as well as when and where to fish, but how they made the experience the best for our family. We caught over 30 fish inshore and were able to keep and fillet some to take home. It was one of the most beautiful trips we had ever taken as the water was so calm and quiet. We would absolutely recommend Aaron to anyone!

    Full day trip with captain Aaron

    Full Day Trip on May 26, 2024

    A buddy of mine and I wanted to do an inshore fishing trip so we reached out to captain aaron on fishing booker as he was offering trips in the anclote area that we wanted to fish. Captain Aaron met us at the dock with a clean boat and a live full of bait. Almost immediately our lines were tight with fish, we caught snook, redfish and trout all day long. Captain Aaron definitely has the knowledge and experience to put his clients on fish and we will be planning another trip with him shortly, highly recommend.

    Amazing fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 7, 2024 • 5 adults • 2 children

    We had amazing time with Aaron and Nathan! Very accommodating, informative, and easy to make conversation with. We went to a private little island let us be on the beach for as long as we wanted then continued to fish. Aaron made sure to make sure we caught at least one fish each we really enjoyed his company and definitely plan to come back. The experience was unforgettable catching or not catching fish.

    Fishing with Aaron

    Half Day Trip (PM) on June 19, 2025 • 5 adults

    They caught red fish, trout, a catfish, snook, and black tip shark. What more could you ask for. I warned Aaron and Sierra that they were a hard to please crowd, and they knocked it out of the park!

    Fun for the Whole Family

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 10, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Aaron was outstanding. He knew the area very well and was extremely knowledgeable of the fish that we were trying to catch. He made sure that my 11 year old felt special and shared his fishing stories with him throughout the trip. We would definitely book with Captain Aaron again.
