Looking to cast a line in Belleair Bluffs? Fishful Thinkin Charters is your ticket! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Robert can tell you all about them.

Around here the fishing is popular for Mangrove Snapper, Grunt, Cobia, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Red Snapper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Goliath Grouper, Blacktip Shark, Spanish Mackerel, Hogfish, and more with any luck.

Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your adventure begins aboard a 36' Center console with room for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Capt. Robert will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Fishful Thinkin Charters is just a click away.

We had a great time fishing with Bob. He is professional, caring and knowledgeable, also super patient with us, who barely knew anything about saltwater fishing. Highly recommended!

6 Hour Trip on March 19, 20256 adults
We have been on a few fishing charters over the last couple years and this was hands-down the best experience. We had five teenagers and myself which kept both Captain Bob and Tommy very busy. We caught a huge red grouper, land snapper, hog fish and grunts. Will be eating fish for months!! Thank you for such a great time! We will be back!!
