If you're in the market for a day to remember, look no further than Edgewater Charters. Captain Ryan is a 30-year local to Dunedin, so he has the upper hand on these other guys. With him at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, Blacktip Shark, Bull Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Gag Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Grunt, and whatever else takes the bait. For these species, you're likely to be using light spinning tackle, easy to use for any level of angler.

Your day begins aboard a 23' Custom center console with room for 5 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Ryan has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included!

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 some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. A cooler with ice will be provided.

Your trip with Edgewater Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

    Captain Ryan worked to put us on fish

    4 Hour Trip on April 12, 2026 • 2 adults

    from start to finish Capt Ryan did everything tonput us on fish, slow spots he was changing out bait to keep it fresh, Good spots he kept them baited constantly. Caught some nice trout and a couple nice sharks by request even hooked into a 5 footer and landed it. He knows the area well and will give you the trip you asked for if God and the fIsh are willing.

    2 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on June 2, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Capt. Ryan was great. he was knowledgeable on good spots. Our group had a great time and the kids loved reeling in the sharks. I will recommend him to anyone looking for some good fishing. It is perfect for all ages and all skill levels. The only thing i would do different next time is book a longer charter.

Great trip!! Tons of fish!
6 Hour Trip on December 4, 2025 • 2 adults

This was our first trip with Captain Ryan and he certainly delivered in every way! My friend and I are lifelisters, we track different species caught, and Ryan went out of his way to get us as many new species as possible AND enough fish for a tasty fish dinner afterwards, with a recommendation to a great "cook your catch" spot close by. He was great about switching spots if the bite dried up and helped me get very close to my goal of 100 species caught! He's very knowledgeable and friendly and we had a great time. Highly recommended!!

Reported catch:
Gag Grouper
Spanish Mackerel
