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 (PM)
My 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.

Chris went above and beyond to make the trip fun, and to try and catch everything we wanted to catch. He is highly knowledgeable and it’s obvious he takes great pride in what he does.
