Make the most of your time in Florida and go fishing with Fish Fixation Charters and Captain Danny Riffe! Tarpon Springs, Florida boasts top tier fishing with species like redfish, snook and trout crushing bait year round! We have a plethora of species both trophy worthy and tasty. Whether we are stalking redfish in the flats and mangrove forests, or bottom fishing the reefs for tasty tropical reef fish, Capt. Riffe has you covered.
You’ll be dropping lines from a 24 ft Blazer Bay center console that is the do-it-all boat, lightning fast, drafts shallow, and rides smooth through the chop. This boat is a one piece hull build that is very light with a big FL west coast style bow flare. Packing the heat with a whopping 300hp. No expense was spared when specking out this boat! Your trip comes with top of the line tackle and electronics to help you land that bucket list fish you have been dreaming of. Equipped with twin power poles to anchor you perfectly in any current. Spot lock trolling motor to sneak through the shallows, and place you perfectly on the reef. Jackplate to pop up on plane in only one foot of water, and of course a high end chartplotter/fishfinder to find the big ones. Capt. Riffe wants you to get the full Florida experience and that’s why every rod and reel on the boat is manufactured right here in Florida with the option to use shimano products as well. Every charter Capt. Riffe runs is one of a kind, tailored to the guests’ wants and needs.
After booking you will be contacted by Capt. Riffe to discuss plans and goals for your trip. Trips with Fish Fixation Charters are kid-friendly, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Please feel free to contact Capt. Danny Riffe anytime for any questions or details about your trip!

4 Hour Fishing Trip (AM)
We had an awesome time on our half-day charter! There were three adults and one very excited 9-year-old, and Danny made sure everyone had fun and felt comfortable. We caught a nice snapper, a couple of puffer fish, and a few other surprises along the way. The captain was patient, helpful, and great with kids. It was a perfect mix of learning, laughs, and reeling in fish. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for an easygoing, enjoyable day on the water!

Two Hour Fishing Trip (12pm)
We originally booked a fishing trip with Captain Danny for our son’s 12th birthday on 8/23—his very first time fishing. Unfortunately, due to inclement weather, the trip had to be canceled. Thankfully, Captain Danny was incredibly helpful and communicative, working with us to reschedule for a later date that ended up working even better. We’re beyond grateful to Captain Danny for turning what could have been a disappointment into an unforgettable birthday experience. Our son(s), their friend, and my husband all said it was one of the most incredible days they’ve ever had. Not only did they catch a ton of fish, but the highlight was reeling in a shark—something my son hasn't stopped talking about since! If you're considering a fishing trip, I highly recommend booking with Captain Danny. He’s friendly, accommodating, and makes the experience accessible and enjoyable for everyone—whether you're a seasoned fisher or a total beginner. He provides all the gear you need and ensures a memorable time on the water. Thank you so much, Captain Danny! We can’t wait to book another trip with you in the future.

Two Hour Fishing Trip (PM)
My family and I were visiting from Colorado and specifically my dad and I have always dreamt of catching fish out of the ocean. Captain Danny not only allowed that to happen for us, but he was extremely accommodating to the entire family, including our 3 month old who we were able to take along with us. From the very first cast we were getting slammed with snapper. Within the first hour we had caught probably close to 12-15 snapper, including a puffer fish. The highlight catches of the day came a bit later when I was able to pull up a baby blacktip shark and my dad got himself a red grouper. At the end of the trip we had caught 25 snapper and 8 big enough to keep for dinner. 1 puffer fish, 1 blacktip shark, and a red grouper. After we finished fishing and headed back to shore, despite us being out of time, Danny was kind enough to turn the boat around when we spotted some dolphins to give us a closer look. Danny even filleted our fish for us when we got back to the dock. Danny was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire experience and I would recommend him to anyone, new or experienced with finishing! We would absolutely book again with Danny in the future!

4 Hour Fishing Trip (PM)
I booked a 4hr PM inshore charter with Fish Fixation Charters for me and my friends and we had a blast! I wanted to hook into a snook/redfish/tarpon for my birthday and Captain Danny delivered! We started off catching some trout, to get warmed up, then worked our way toward beaches and spoil islands in search of bigger game fish. We eventually pulled up to a spot that looked promising, casted a few lively bait and in a few minutes, my friends were on some good fish! I followed suit with a slot sized snook of my own—the biggest for the trip! We ended the trip with an inshore slam for the boat. Captain Danny is not only knowledgeable at what he does, but he is an overall great person and very personable. His charter is an excellent choice for beginners or experienced anglers alike. Book a charter with him—you won’t regret it!

Full Day Fishing Trip
If you are looking for a fishing charter in the area stop looking at other websites, get ahold of Danny and get booked. 4 of us had an absolute blast fishing with him and are already looking when we can go again. He will not only put you on fish but make sure everyone is comfortable and having a good time. There is no reason to look anywhere else. Everything is top notch from the boat to teaching how to fish to the conversation. You can tell that he really has a passion for the ocean and the fish in it. And he wants to share that passion with his clients. Thanks Captain Danny, hope to get something booked when we come back down in June.
