Planning your fishing trip in the Tampa Area just got easier, thanks to Fishin' the Outdoors!!!
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime fishing adventure! Chris will help you catch some real monsters from the beach.
Here you won't be far from inshore waters, including some honeyholes that only a local guide can show you.
The name of the game around here is heavy tackle fishing, which is how you'll get acquainted with these waters and the sharks in them.
Chris will provide rods, rigs, and bait. Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Blacktip Shark, Lemon Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Tiger Shark, Bull Shark, Bonnethead Shark, and whatever else takes the bait.
Any Sharks you catch will be released. Groups of up to 2 can join the shark fishing excursions. Spectators are free. You'll be fishing without a boat, so expect to make your way on foot at least part of the time and come dressed for current weather conditions.
If your looking for a custom trip please reach out. We do specialize trips and longer trips if desired.
Don't hesitate to send Chris a message below with any questions you have, including where to meet on the day of your trip.
Your fishing license for the day is not included, so members of your group may need to buy one. Also, you will need to get your Shark fishing permit course, which is available for free from the FWC. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply.
Be sure to dress in layers and suitable footwear (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen, and sunglasses, no matter the weather. Chris will have water for you, and if you wish to bring your own drinks feel free.
All minors must have adult with them for all trips.
And with that, you're ready to experience the great outdoors in Tampa and surrounding areas. So make it happen, with Fishin' the Outdoors!

6 Hour Trip – Sharks (AM) on October 16, 2025 • 2 adultsThis year for my birthday, I wanted to catch a shark! Thanks to Chris I did catch a Black Tip Shark. It was a hell of adrenaline rush!! Chris was AWESOME, and made sure we had the best day!
Daniel TrippettRepeat angler5.0VerifiedOur first hammerhead!!
6 Hour Trip – Sharks (PM) on July 29, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 childMy son has wanted to catch a shark for years. Talked with Chris and I felt he could get us on one. First fish was a 4ft hammer. Only fish we caught but Chris worked his tail off. It was one of the hottest weeks I’ve ever experienced and the water was boiling… Been on many charters and this was a different experience. Very relaxed and accommodating.

Andrew Buss5.0Great experience with Captain Chris. Highly recommend.
5 Hour Trip – Sharks (AM) on July 13, 2024I recently had the pleasure of booking a fishing trip with Fishin' the Outdoors, and I must say, it was nothing short of fantastic. Captain Chris not only knows his stuff when it comes to fishing, but he also made the entire experience incredibly enjoyable. He guided us to a prime fishing spot with ease, sharing his wealth of knowledge about the local waters and the best techniques to reel in the big ones. His passion for fishing is contagious, and he made sure everyone was involved and having a great time. Whether you're an experienced angler or a novice like myself, Captain Chris ensures that everyone has a memorable and rewarding fishing adventure. I highly recommend Fishin' the Outdoors for your next fishing trip.
Connor Buss5.0Nobody more passionate than Fishing the Outdoors
5 Hour Trip – Sharks (AM) on July 13, 2024And I mean it when I say it, nobody is more passionate about getting you on the fish than Chris and Fishin’ the Outdoors. His knowledge of surf fishing, especially sharks and other big fish, is unparalled, and everybody who fishes with him always has an amazing experience. Nothing makes him happier than seeing you land a big fish and coaching you through getting it on the beach or on the boat. Chris is a wealth of fishing knowledge that makes for an amazing day for anglers of all skill levels. You will never forget the experience you have with Fishin’ the Outdoors, and Chris will be there to get you back on the water whenever you need. Make the trip, send the line out, and if you’re fishing with Chris, you’ll be set.
