About the trip

Enjoy a beautiful afternoon exploring the unspoiled waters of Tampa Bay. You'll mainly be staying inshore and nearshore to target some tough-fighting fish, including Tarpon, Cobia, Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, and more! Your captain will supply the gear, tackle, and fishing license, so just bring some sunblock, sunglasses, your favorite snacks, and you're all set!

angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

My dad got me into fishing and boating when I was a little boy and I've been hooked ever since. I've spent a lot of time on the water because that's what I love. It's a true passion of mine, and wouldn't trade it for the world. I love taking kids or beginners out for the first time, seeing them catch their first fish. I love seeing the smiles on people's faces when they catch a new species they've never caught before. To me, that's really what it's all about!

Dad & Daughter fishing trip

Captain Kirby was great!! He put us in fish the entire time. It was my daughter’s first time off shore fishing and he made it so much fun for her. We would definitely go with Captain Kirby again. Thanks
