There’s a fish with your name on it in Tampa and Baitrun Charters will help you catch it!

Local species include Gag Grouper, Hogfish, Cobia, Pompano, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, Tripletail, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your vessel for the day is a 21’ Center console with room for 3 passengers. It has downriggers, as well as everything else you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don’t leave home without sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Fishing with captain James was an absolute blast with my two boys aged 14 and 10. We ended up in a spot where collectively we caught almost 30 fish all different sorts … even a sting ray and a blow fish. Most we released back, but we did catch dinner 🥘. My boys are already planning their next trip with the captain.

Captain James took my 8 year old son and 10 year old daughter on a great trip. We started catching fish right away, and also spotted dolphins and a manatee. Great trip, and I'd definitely recommend it.
