Capt. Phil has been fishing the west coast of Florida since he was a kid. With over 7 years of full time guiding experience and hundreds of 5-star reviews to read from across the internet; you are sure to have a great time and catch fish with Capt. Phil.

There's a fish with your name on it in Placida and Suncoast Expeditions will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Phil can tell you all about the local fishery.

These waters are known for Tarpon, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before "Fish on!" Depending on the fish you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Also remember to bring snacks!

You'll be dropping lines from a 25' Tidewater bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is available!

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind Tarpon are catch and release. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Suncoast Expeditions!
