Gulfport Spotted Seatrout Fishing Charters

The half-day trip is great when you don't have too much time to spend on the water, but still want to get some serious angling done. You'll be focusing on the inshore waters where the main targets are Redfish, Seatrout, Tarpon (when in season), Snook, Snapper, and others. The price of the trip includes rods, reels, and terminal tackle.

Shorter trips are great if you're bringing your kids along. Capt. Bobby will tailor the trips around their age and their corresponding attention spans. Whether you're an experienced angler or never held a rod before, you will surely have a great time. You are most likely to target Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Sheepshead, Shark, or Snapper. The captain will provide your fishing equipment, but you need to bring your drinks and snacks.

You'll be fishing inshore in flats and backwater creeks. Captain Michael offers sight fishing for Redfish and Trout or deeper water fishing for Snapper and Sheepshead. Either way, you'll have a day filled with fish and fun!

Tampa Bay offers a wide variety of species year-round. The time of year and water temperature will dictate what species we target. But some of our regular favorites include Snook, Redfish, and Mackerel. Rods, reels, tackle, and fishing licenses are included in the price of the trip.

This trip is for those of you who do not want to get up early. Half-day trips allow a great opportunity to get out and find some fish while also not spending the entire day on the water. You'll be targeting Redfish, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Snapper, and Shark (depending on the time of year).

Quick morning trip great for young anglers and folks looking for an easy going fun morning on the water.

PLEASE NOTE we do not keep/clean fish on the 3hr trip. This is a fun/casual excursion designed for beginners, kids, and novices that want to get on the bay for a few hours and cast some lines. If you are a more serious/advanced angler or would like to try and keep some fish to eat, I would recommend booking the 1/2 day or full day trip instead.

On a Half Day Trip, please let me know your preferences regarding target species and the potential outcomes you hope for. Travel time to our fishing destinations is not counted, so you can expect a full half-day of fishing. Fly fishing for Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, and Speckled Seatrout.
