Capt Travis Paxton Inshore Charters offers great value trips out of Hudson, Port Richey and around the Tarpon Springs area, targeting the nation's favorite inshore species of fish. Western Florida is home to the best Tarpon fishing in the world, and Captain Travis Paxton is an expert in reeling them in.

You'll ride out on a 23' Shoalwater Cat, equipped with everything you need for a day on the water. With a GPS and fishfinder, you'll be on your way to the hottest fishing spots possible. Thanks to the 200 HP Yamaha 4 Stroke ability reaching speeds of up to 40 knots, you'll be at an advantage to get there before everyone else as you dash off with the wind in your hair.

When you get on the fish, you'll be given rods and reels and off you go – start fishing! Live bait is stored in an onboard livewell, but artificial lures are available too, should you prefer those. The captain will make sure to clean and fillet your fish so you can take it straight to the table upon your return.

Capt. Travis encourages you to bottom fish and jig for the best results, as you target Redfish and Spotted Seatrout, as well as Snappers, and Snook. You're in for an epic struggle as you try to reel in one of these monsters! He invites you to battle the 'Silver King,' too. Having been fishing since the age of 3, he's been a captain from 18, so he knows what he's doing.

The opportunity to fish these plentiful waters is not to be missed. There's something for everyone, with even the option to go scalloping. Capt. Travis will go the extra mile for you to make sure it's a trip you'll remember for the rest of your lives.

So hop aboard Capt Travis Paxton Inshore Charters and make the most of this chance!

I have been involved in the fishing community since my father introduced me at 3 years old. He fished multiple freshwater tournaments while I was growing up and from then on, I've been hooked! I've fished the Greater Tampa Bay Area since 1997 with my family and learned from the top guides in this area. I acquired my USCG Captain's License at the age of 18 and I haven't looked back since. I have many years of experience when it comes to tournament style fishing. I have fished in the Professional Tarpon Tournament Series held in Boca Grande Pass, Florida and I've also fished multiple inshore tournaments in the Tampa Bay area.

    The mornings with bait have been far from boring! Bait has been a little on the smaller side but the big ones are there if you work for them. As soon as bait is caught, it isnt long until your hooked up to fish as the fall bite is turning on a little early. Massive schools of redfish varying from 18 inches and up have swarmed our flats recently. The breeder snook have moved off the beach for the most part, but the big ones are still around. Book your charter now, as most of fall is booking very fast!
