If you're ready to have fun fishing in Ruskin, book a trip with South Shore Tampa Bay Fishing.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Spotted Seatrout, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, and whatever else takes the bait.

Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to keep 'em happy!

You'll step aboard a 24' Center console with capacity for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with South Shore Tampa Bay Fishing!
