Renegade Inshore Fishing Charters is a Father and Son owned and operated service. Their passion and love for fishing are simply contagious. Join them for a fun and productive day on the waters of the Tampa Bay area and make your own “catch of the day.”

The crew will work hard to make our trip the best it can be. They will put their two decades of fishing experience to work for you. The moment you step on board, you will be treated like a family.

Renegade Inshore Fishing Charters will put you on top of the hottest bite. Target a who’s who of the local favorites. Test yourself in jigging and fishing with light tackle for big Redfish, the elusive Snook, and whatever else you can find patrolling the shallow waters. Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, Mangrove Snapper, Flounder, and Tripletail are also among the popular catches.

Battle the mighty ‘Silver King’ Tarpon when the season allows. Learn about the local waters and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Just sit back, relax, and get ready for an exciting hunt!

All you have to do is dress appropriately, grab something to eat and drink, put on some sunblock, and hop onboard. You will go out on a 23’ Hydra-Sport bay boat. Its single 250 HP Yamaha 4-stroke engine will power you quickly and safely to where the fish reside. There is plenty of fishing space for up to four guests.

    This trip is my personal favorite. 6 hours give you enough time to target more species. Our fishery is very tidal dependent and a 6 hour trip provides a lot more opportunities to target the fish of a life time! Snook, trout, redfish, tarpon, and black drum are our main target species. In the cooler months we target shallow water grouper and king fish. Let have and amazing trip!

Born and raised right here in the Tampa Bay area, Capt. Tom grew up on the water. He's spent his life studying the local waterways and honing his skills as a fisherman. The captain had his first boat before he had his first car and couldn't put the rod down. He did everything from freshwater Bass fishing to King fishing and everything in-between. Fishing is Capt. Tom's passion and he's excited to share it with you.
