The full day inshore/nearshore fishing trip offers the best opportunity to pursue a variety of different species and fishing options here in Tampa Bay. Depending on time of year, tides, and weather conditions, it is possible on a full day trip to explore our nearshore Gulf reefs and wrecks (within 9 miles of shore), then hit the inshore shallow water flats- all in the same afternoon. (This trip option is best suited for experienced anglers that want to maximize their opportunity on the water).

If you want to maximize your chance of getting fish on the boat, this is the trip for you. Spend a whole day on the water, getting acquainted with the Tampa Bay's diverse inshore waters. You'll be able to hunt the flats, as well as the open bays for a range of game fish like Snook, and even Tarpon (when in season), to delicious table fish, such as snapper, seasonal inshore grouper, spotted sea trout, seasonal king mackeral, among many more. Fishing mostly live bait.
