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.

Great Trip - Tons of Fish!
4 Hour Half day (pm) on March 16, 20264 adults
We had such a great trip with Captain Bob and caught a ton of fish! He took us to several different spots and all of them hit with fish! He was engaging and funny with the entire family and kept us entertained all day. We caught so many different tyoes of fish and he taught us about them all. We really appreciated him taking the time to filet all of our fish and we cooked them up that same night! We will definitely be back and would recommend him to anyone!

Solid day on the water. We headed offshore and the conditions were perfectly calm, but it was the captain’s local knowledge that really saved the day. We spent the trip trolling for King Mackerel and doing some bottom fishing, hitting several productive spots. The variety of species we encountered was impressive. The equipment was well-maintained.If you want a productive, no-nonsense charter that actually puts you on the fish

Great experience with Captain Robert!
8 Hour Trip RED GROUPER on March 25, 20261 adult1 child
I took my 12-year-old son on an eight hour charter with captain Robert. My son said it was the best day of our vacation! Captain Robert took time with my son to make sure he knew what was happening and how to locate fish. We caught several grouper and almost had a king fish. The boat was very nice. We would definitely do it again. Thanks, Captain Robert!

Great Trip with captain Bob!
4 Hour Half day (pm) on March 9, 20265 adults1 child
Out family had a gret time on this trip. Boat was perfect for our group of six. Captain Bob knew exactly where to go to catch fish as soon as you dropped your line in. He was very helpful with everyone and ensured we all had a good time. Left with plenty of fish.
