    Had a blast in the mangroves

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 1 adult

    I made a last minute trip request. Thomas's boat wasn't available but he offered a trip with him and an other guide on their boat. It all went very well. He always communicated well and ensured I was comfortable. I lost count but in total we boated at least a couple dozen snook in 4 hours, and I caught a redfish too. The setting was really beautiful with a lot of wildlife, even a dolphin. I learned a LOT and he answered all the questions I had. He has a calm, patient demeanor and is easy to talk to. He even stayed with me to chat at the launch afterwards while I was waiting due to a transportation issue I had. So he went above and beyond what was already a really fun trip.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Snook

    Captain Tommy was great! offered algernative pickup locations to make sure we had easy access. Once on the Charter Capt. Tommy put us on fish right away. We move around the bay area after multiple species and had success with each one.

    Highly Recommend Tommy

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    We had an amazing day fishing with Tommy. From start to finish, he made us feel completely safe and well taken care of. He is knowledgeable and friendly and worked hard to make sure we had a great experience. We were able to catch a variety of species, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Tommy really knows what he is doing and we would definitely book with him again.

What's biting with Bait-N-Bite in Tampa

Get your dose of Redfish while the fishing is still hot! The Snook bite is consistent on the outgoing tide, and you can find some real lunkers. Sheepshead and Mangrove Snapper are around the bridges and on the rock piles.
