U Desire Results…...We Deliver an EPIC DAY!  Searching for the perfect Tampa Bay angling adventure? Look no further than Fishhawk Charters "Contender," an ideal vessel for avid fishermen or guests who want a big fishing experience on "The Ideal Vessel"!

Fully Credentialized w/All Permits & Master Licensed

Captain Brian is the man behind the Fish Hawk Charter operation, and he’s the perfect person to guide you around these waters. Local to the area, surrounded by pure white sandy beaches and the turquoise blue Gulf of Mexico – and plenty of fishing opportunities! Now, he loves sharing his wealth of experience, knowledge, angler skills & expertise with his guests.

You’ll be casting off on board his 35’ Contender pro vessel, built to give you a dry and stable ride into the Bay and its surrounding waters. She can move very quickly between fishing spots and features top-of-the-range electronics by Raymarine.

Capt. Brian’s boat is equipped with a T-top for shade, as well as a fully enclosed toilet. On board, you will find an icebox and a Yeti cooler full of ice-cold water to keep you refreshed throughout the trip. There’s also a large live bait tank.

On your adventure, you’ll be targeting whatever seasonal species are biting the best. The techniques you’ll be using and the species you’ll be targeting also depending on your experience level and what you want to get out of your trip.

Whether you want to bow to the "Silver King" (Tarpon,) chase Cobia, or tackle tasty Snappers and Groupers, Capt. Brian will provide ALL the gear, tackle, equipment, and expert advice you need to hook your target fish. Just let him know what you want your adventure to look like!

Your trip includes top-quality rods and reels, as well as bait, lures, and your fishing license. The crew will also carefully clean, de-bone, and bag any legal fish you’d like to take home with you. All that’s left is to come aboard for an incredible adventure!

We Deliver an EPIC Day & Exceed Expectations!

Awesome Full Day of Fishing With Captain Brian

VERIFIED

8 Hour Guests' Choice Fun Day on March 29, 2021

This was absolutely a top notch fishing charter experience. Captain Brian really knows his stuff and will definitely put you on the fish. On this full day of fishing we had the opportunity to fish for a variety of different fish. In the morning we ran into Kingfish, Triggerfish and Red Snapper. Once the morning fog burned off the big boys came out to play. We ran into some monster Red Grouper. Finally at one of our last stops we ran into some really nice Amberjack and a monster Blackfin Tuna. I would highly recommend Fish Hawk Charters and Captain Brian if really want to have a great fishing experience on the Gulf of Mexico.
