We booked a 12-hour trip with Ticket Box Fishing Company and Captain Mike in Tampa, and it was hands down one of the best fishing experiences I’ve ever had. Captain Mike is the real deal - knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. From the moment we left the dock, he had a plan and put us on fish consistently throughout the entire day. A 12-hour trip is no joke, but he kept the energy up, made sure everyone was comfortable, and worked hard nonstop to make it a successful outing. If you like riding in style and having the best of the best, this is the boat to be on. Yellowfins are one of the most luxurious fishing boats money can buy. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and everything was organized and ready to go. Whether you’re experienced or newer to offshore fishing, Captain Mike explains things clearly and makes sure you’re set up for success. If you’re looking for a serious fishing trip in Tampa with a captain who knows these waters and works hard for his clients, Ticket Box Fishing Company is 100% the move. We’ll absolutely be booking again.
We had a close to shore trip today and it was great. It was four of us and we had plenty of room on the boat. Marlin did a great job today and he put us on fish all day. It was a great day and experience for us all. I would recommend this trip for the first time charter guest. We had such an amazing experience and I am so glad we hooked up when th marlin rice.
I booked an 8 hour offshore trip with Ticket Box Fishing Company and it turned into one of those days you don’t forget. I’m a veteran and I’ve fished with a lot of captains over the years, so it takes a lot to impress me. Captain Marlin did that and more. He wasn’t just a strong captain, he was humble, patient, passionate about fishing, and he actually taught me things instead of just driving the boat and baiting hooks. We ran out on their 36ft Yellowfin and the boat is a beast. Smooth, clean, tons of room and rigged with good gear. We got into fish fast and stayed on them most of the day. Hit our limit of red grouper, picked up a nice spread of mangrove and lane snapper, and then the moment I’ll remember forever: my first cobia. Marlin coached me through the fight start to finish. That fish measured 35.5 inches. Just short to keep, but what a rush. The price was more than fair for a day like that. I walked off the boat with a cooler full of meat and I honestly felt like a better angler than when I stepped on board. If you want a real fishing experience with someone who cares about the trip and the people on it, book with Captain Marlin. I’m already looking at dates to go again.
Thank you David! We can’t wait to get you offshore again!
