    very great trip

    3 Std. – Angelausflug in der Tampa Bay • 4 Erwachsene • 2 Kinder

    The captain was incredibly knowledgeable and provided us with the exact instructions on how to catch the fish. We ended up with a diverse catch, including a stingray, which was an incredible experience. He was also very patient and attentive to the children, making the trip enjoyable for everyone. I would definitely book with him again.

    Captain Tom was fantastic very kid friendly fishing trip

    Kids, Beginners and Fun Cruisers • 3 Erwachsene • 2 Kinder

    Our trip was awesome, we didn't catch any keepers not for a lack of trying, my boys (11 &10) had a wonderful time. Captain Tom was very patient with my boys playful too, he made the trip real fun for them. We did catch a bunch of fish but the big one got away! We had a wonderful time I would highly recommend this trip for anybody with kids or beginners, book your trip and enjoy your time!

    Last week was tough. I really had to look around for the target species. But we got on them . They were all too small to keep but we had a great tome catching not fishing.

    The day started out slow looking for snook. After a few small ones I suggested bottom fishing for grouper to get a great fight. Man o man!

    Tampa Bay offers many types of fishing and one of my favorites is bottom dropping cut bait for gag and red groupers on the rock piles. The fight is unforgettable. They will make you cry for mama to come and help as your eyes bug out, your face turns red and your grip on the rod tightens as it bends into a half moon twards the water. You have to lean backwards and put your body weight into it to keep them out of the rocks and breaking the 80 lb test leader. All this and cranking madly on the 40 conventional reel as sweat pours down your face. Man it’s worth it! Some folks troll for them but I love that first hit that you don’t get when trolling.

    Gag-Zackenbarsch
    Unlike the always warmer waters of Key West, Tampa Bay waters do get cold which can limit catching the big ones that migrate south for the winter. One had to be creative. Big snook, trout and redfish are scarce due to low, low tides leaving the shallows dry and desolate. I go the the artificial reefs and ship channel edges for big Gag groupers ranging up to 30 plus inches. They fight like hooking a freight train trying to stick to the bottom and cut the line in the rocks where they live. You have to mad dog mean and stronger than them to get them to the boat. And it’s worth it! Warning if you can’t lift 30 pounds this is not for you.

Was beißt bei Charlton’s Reef Charters in Tampa

Der Herbst hat endlich Einzug gehalten! Rotbarsch, Forelle und Snook halten die Angler auf Trab. Die küstennahen Riffe sind voller Leben und bringen spanische Makrelen in Qualitätsgröße hervor.
