Florida Reels Fishing Charters offers exciting inshore trips in Tampa, Florida. Tampa Bay holds some of the world’s most pristine waters and is home to many species of sport fish. It is located on the west coast of Florida, a short 80 minutes away from popular theme parks located in Orlando. Captain Christopher Taylor invites you to partake in a fishing experience that is sure to make memories that will last.

You will fish aboard Captain Christopher’s 21’ Clearwater center console originally built in 2019 with a capacity for up to 4 guests. The vessel is very fast being powered by a 115 HP Suzuki engine, with a maximum cruising speed of 45 knots. You will find a GPS and a fishfinder on board which both help with locating productive spots, all the safety features including life jackets, flares, and a CPR-trained crew. The boat features a livewell that holds the bait and an icebox for your catch.

Captain Christopher will take you fishing in the inshore waters as well as the flats and backcountry of Tampa. There, you can target Redfish which is available year-round, Trout, Tarpon, and Snook. There are other species such as Shark which can occasionally bite your bait. You will mostly use light tackle and spinning techniques to target your fish.

Florida Reels Fishing Charters will include all the fishing gear such as rods, reels, tackle, baits, and ice on your trips. The vessel is also licensed, so all you have to bring is some food and water for the day and enjoy yourself. Captain Christopher can clean and fillet your catch which you can take home for a delicious dinner. 

Florida Reels Fishing Charters facilitates a very positive family-friendly environment so book one of the trips offered below and come enjoy some quality time on the water!

Captain Chris was very knowledgeable of the area and put us on fish almost immediately. He was courteous and considerate of my two young adult daughters and made everyone feel at ease. We even got to eat our catch almost immediately at the restaurant where the dock is…Can’t go wrong with Captain. Chris Taylor….but poor Sarah…fishing is not her thing :-)
