I have been in Florida for several years and enjoy fishing the Gulf waters myself. Fishing is always a challenge and is never the same day twice. I am a 'people person' and have fun with the people I meet as a charter captain. I have ten years experience as a charter captain on the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River running a tour boat. I was also an assistance tow captain for TowBoatUS on the Chesapeake Bay and here in the Tampa Bay area as well as a boatswain's mate in the US Coast Guard. Charter fishing is the best of all worlds to me. Our mate, Capt. Jose Pais, is a St. Petersburg native. Growing up here on the water gives him many years of local knowledge and history. Jose is also an active spear fisherman which gives him a unique perspective on the reefs, ledges and wrecks we fish. He has seen them up close. Jose also has first-hand experience with the local fish biomass and their behavior.

    Great fishing trip!

    Halvdagstur Plus (Tidlig) • 4 voksne

    I was looking for a small private party fishing trip. I searched around and found Captain Gary and booked my trip. He got in touch with me the same day I booked and kept in contact with me periodically all the way to the time of our trip. He is very informative and cares about who he takes out to sea. Jose, Gary’s First mate was very helpful as well and knowledgeable of how to fish and where the fish were. When we got to our destination we drop our lines in and immediately started catching fish. At times, the four of us (family) had a fish on and in the boat at the same time. Jose and Gary were able to keep up with helping take fish off the line to get them back in the water. It was outstanding! Captain Gary made no promises as he can’t make the fish bite, although we did end up with a wonderful time on the water and a nice catch. Thanks again Captain Gary!

    Ron: It was a pleasure having you and your family on the boat. I am pleased to hear that everyone had a good time and, although the fish weren’t huge, I think they kept everyone busy. Too bad we couldn’t keep those grouper we caught. Maybe next time. Thanks for your business and we hope you’ll come see us again. Capt. Gary

    Experience counts

    Trekvart dagstur Plus • 6 voksne

    Captain Gary and his 1st Mate Hosea are both experienced captains and anglers. Took us out 15 miles, and found us fish! They knew when to bail on a spot and hit another. The six of us were all successful as we reeled in multiple species of good eating. Boat ride - out and back in were smooth and comfortable on what was a calm beautiful day. Gary’s twin diesels running full stride on the way back in provided for the perfect background for a 1/2 hour snooze if that is something that appeals to you. 5-Stars

    Excellent Experience

    Halvdagstur Plus (Tidlig) • 4 voksne • 2 børn

    I never write these so forgive me. My wife and I have 10 year old and 7 year old. We were looking for someone experienced; they had a larger boat with bathroom; and would provide the best possible experience for first-timers deep sea fishing. Capt Gary and Jose knocked it out of the park! Not only did we catch a mess of fish but they taught the children several valuable lessons. We cannot speak highly enough of our experience. Enough to where I actually wrote one of these things…

    Professional yet personal

    Halvdagstur Plus (Sen) • 4 voksne

    Captain Gary was very welcoming to his boat & made it feel like we were lifelong friends throughout the entire trip. Once the fish were biting, he & his first mate kept swapping our poles so we constantly had lines in the water. It was a very good trip for a first-timer like myself & I would highly recommend this trip for anyone with a good personality & sense of humor. Very own to earth people & it just turned out to be a very good day.

    Cheryl: Thanks for your kind words. Jose and I really enjoy the folks that come in the boat. And yea; it is personal. We want you to have a good time and we enjoy having fun with our guests. In the back of our minds, though, is your safety. We want to make sure everything goes well. Jose and I hope to see you and your crew again real soon. Capt. Gary

    fishing is for the angler. The captain needs to listen to the customer were to fish first, as long as there are fish to be fished for

Good Spanish Day-Finally

Jun 20, 2025 • Redington Shores
Each time out, we do a little trolling for Spanish mackerel and usually come up with one or two. We hit it right yesterday and put 14 in the box and lost another4-5 that gave us the slip. There are fish along the beaches, but they can be selective if and when they feed. We caught all these in about 1.5 hours.

Grey Snapper: Catch of the Day

Apr 14, 2025 • Redington Shores
Since the windy weather of the last week has left the water quite turbid, we have been bottom fishing for the humble grey snapper. Often overlooked and under rated as table fare, these hearty little fighters are a delight for everyone holding a fishing rod. We have been fishing in 40-50 ft. depths on limestone bottom.

Bottom Fishing for Grey Snapper

Feb 6, 2025 • Redington Shores
The weather was absolutely perfect this morning for a nice trip out on the Gulf. We fished in 40-60 ft. of water with visability of 25 ft. and brought home a good amount of grey snapper and a black sea bass. Clients had a great time and a good adventure on the water.

Sunset Cruises Very Popular

Jan 21, 2025 • Redington Shores
This winter, the weather has not been our friend. We have been forced to cancel too many of our fishing trips because of cold temperatures, windy conditions or rough seas. But, some clients have opted to enjoy an afternoon or sunset cruise. Sure, we would all like to be offshore fishing, but when it isn’t safe, getting out in the water is still better than going to the movies. As you can see from the photos, these folks are enjoying a leisurely trip down the ICW and a short run out into the Gulf to watch the sun dip into the sea. An afternoon cruise works well, too. If you have friends or relatives coming to town, a couple-hour cruise is a nice way to spend the afternoon together. Give us a call and we can get you out on the water.

Still a Few Spanish Mackerel on the Reef

May 23, 2024 • Redington Shores
A 1/2 day family outing on Monday, May 20 found us fishing some inshore hard bottom where we found some bait and hooked into a nice 24” Spanish. We kept at it, but all we caught was a small bonita. So, off to South County where we worked hard for a few more spanish and a couple of good-sized blue runners which we kept for bait. We got a couple more spanish at Treasure Island reef but with the water warming past 80, the Spanish are on their way north for the summer months. Everyone had a good time and headed to the Broke N Bored for a great “cook my catch” lunch.

Kings in the Ship Channel

May 9, 2023 • Redington Shores
Dennis and Alex joined Jose and I for a 6-hour trip today. We started out trolling the John’s Pass channel which almost always produces a few fish. We got three Spanish, but only one was box-worthy. We trolled a few spots hoping for some more Spanish action but the fish had other ideas. We bottom fished a nice ledge and pulled in few grey snapper and then went over to the Egmont ship channel. We trolled the lower numbers and hit a nice pocket of bait which produced two nice kings and several bonita. One bonita got eaten by the first barracuda we have seen this year. The cuda was huge and took the lower half of the bonita in one spectacular bite. A good day was had by all-except that bonita!
