Make an adventure out of your next trip to tampa bay and go fishing with the Florida Fishing Guide.

Species like Redfish, Snook, Cobia, Tarpon, Speckled Trout, and more can be found in these waters, depending on the time of year.

You'll target your catch by spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Top-of-the-line Shimano reels, with top-of-the-line rods Capt. Bo also offers fly fishing, gear provided! For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach! Water bottles and ice are always provided!

You'll be dropping lines from a 24' Avenger bay boat with space for 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is provided and always included in the price of the trip.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Some essentials to bring are sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Florida Fishing Guide!

Awesome day on the water with Captain Bo
Full Day Trip on December 1, 2025

My wife and I booked a charter with Captain Bo after being referred by a friend and we were more impressed with how great of a day it was. My wife doesn’t enjoy fishing but she enjoyed a great relaxing day on the water while Captain Bo and I slayed the redfish and snook! The boat and equipment were top notch and clean and ready to roll. Captain Bo was extremely patient, knowledgeable and absolutely amazing company. I can’t wait to get back out there with Florida Fishing Guide!

Fishing with Bo
Half Day Trip on January 4, 2026

We had a fantastic experience on this fishing charter. From start to finish, everything was professional, relaxed, and genuinely fun. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and great at putting us on fish. You can tell he truly loves what he does and wants everyone on the boat to have a great time. Whether you are experienced or new to fishing you could not ask for a better Captain!! Will definitely be booking again!

Redfish, snook, trout, triple tail, Cobia, and tarpon specialist. Family friendly, new or veteran anglers both welcome. Hop aboard my 24 avenger custom bay boat, offering the most comfortable ride in its class. Get away from the craziness of the world on dry land and explore beautiful Tampa bay and nearshore water with me.
