Patriotic Guide Service operates out of Holiday, FL, providing a range of trips to suit any schedule. Co-captains David and Michael been fishing their whole life, and have joined forces to provide the highest level of service possible.
Spend the morning fishing the local inlets before the sun kicks in, or pass the whole day on board, targeting Snapper, Grouper, Kingfish and more offshore. Fancy something even more exciting? Fish into the night in search of huge Bull and Hammerhead Sharks for some serious heart-pounding action.
No matter which trip you choose, you can fish with confidence aboard Patriotic Guide Service's 25' Tidewater Bay Max boat. Built in 2021, this hardy vessel can cruise at 35 knots, carrying up to five guests to the best waters at speed.
The vessel comes equipped with GPS and fishfinder to make sure you are always fishing in the right place. Her trolling motor and power pole will let you stalk the shallows in silence in search of spooky Tarpon and big tailing Reds, and her huge twin livewells come loaded with enough quality live bait to tempt in half the ocean.
Once you sink your hook, you can rely on the boat's quality tackle to get the job done. You will be supplied with brand new, top of the line Penn reels, twinned with custom-built rods. If fly fishing is more your style, you will be kitted out with 8-weight Pflueger Patriarch rods and G Loomis reels.
No matter what trip you choose, you can trust Captains David and Michael to take you to the best spots around and to work tirelessly to put you on the fish. All trips come with tackle, bait, and lures. They will even clean and fillet all your catch for you at the end of the day, so all you need to bring is your camera and your biggest cooler!

caught some sharks that was a first for me good fight good time! caught a nice aize Gar, some cat fish, and others! weather was not great that limited us on catching alot of other types. all in all a good time!!
Meet the captain at marina he explained exactly how day was going to go ,asked us if we fished before and where what caught . He said we'll let's she if we can beat that today as far as size. And boom we where off to fist spot red fish one after another but no shark bites so we stated an hour and off to next . That's ended up being it we caught spinner sharks lemon sharks galore. Couple 3 to 4 footer and many 5 to 6 footers . Captain Mike knows his stuff loved the trip and definitely coming back to book with him
not only was he super friendly and joke around with us too he made dreams come true today i would recommend to book him for all family and friends and also on top of that he told us where the fish was baited everything where all we had to do was cast and reel best experience ever couldn't have gotten any better
he put us right on the fish as soon as we were on the water, boat was well equiped and he was ready to go with bait after every fish. had lots of spare rods in case we broke off. fish grabber for the lady. he knows all the spots and will make sure you have a good time.
On vacation with son and the experience was great as we had fun, caught some fish and made memories. Definitely recommend!! CAPT Mathew went above and beyond to make the trip enjoyable.

Your captain
Holiday, Florida, United States
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Growing up in Tarpon Springs area, I grew up fishing the waters of the Tampa Bay area. The first fish I ever caught was a 32" Speckled Trout. Ever since then I have been hooked. My fishing career took off in high school when I started a fishing club at Tarpon Springs High School. I then went to USF Where I was the president of the USF fishing club and team. I have done work with TheOnlineFisherman and am the official guide of The Patriotic Angler Podcast.
