Hi, I'm Captain Nick Gonzalez, and welcome to My Time Fishing Charters

*More Reviews and pictures on Google/Website*

Fishing has been in my blood since I was five years old. Growing up in Tampa Bay, I've spent countless hours on the water, gaining firsthand experience and cultivating a deep understanding of the local area.

Now I'm proud to share my passion and extensive knowledge of Florida's fishing scene with you.
 

My journey began with my dad, a generational fisherman who taught me everything I know. He fished in places like Venezuela, Miami, the Florida Keys, and Tampa, and passed down that wealth of knowledge to me.

I specialize in fishing from Tampa Bay to New Port Richey, I've also explored waters from Fort Pierce to the Keys, gaining a deep understanding of the diverse fishing ecosystems Florida has to offer.

My focus, however, remains on the rich, local waters of Tampa Bay, where I've spent the majority of my life fishing.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-time fisher, my goal is to provide you with an unforgettable experience, tailored to your skill level and interests. I'm dedicated to not just putting you on fish, but helping you learn and appreciate the natural beauty of our local waters. Let's make some memories on the water, My Time Fishing is your time to hook the big one!

Top targets for Inshore include Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Tarpon

Top Targets for Nearshore include Gag Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Tripletail, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Spanish Mackerel, Hog Snapper and many shark species.

Captain Nick has been fishing the waters of Tampa Bay for 20+ years, gaining a deep understanding of it's unique fishing conditions. Over the years, he's developed a strong sense of where to find fish, (from Snook and Reds on the flats to Hog Snapper and Grouper on ledges) learning how the tides, seasons, and weather affect fish behavior. While every fishing trip is different, he has spent countless hours exploring the bay. His experience has taught him how to read the water, predict fish movements, and adapt to the ever-changing conditions, giving a solid foundation for a successful day on the water.
