    Caught fish and had a good time

    2 hour Trip (Mid AM) • 2 adults

    We booked a trip with Will. There was a hiccup with the scheduling but we got it figured out quickly days prior. As we were getting to Will’s boat another fishing guide put him onto a spot that was hitting. Will took the advice and drove some distance to get us there. Once there we landed 9 fish in our short two hour trip with the drive to the spot. All trouts and one puffer. My teenage daughter had never fished before so this was ideal. We definitely enjoyed our time on Will’s boat. He is a true professional and would definitely use him again. Also a shoutout to his buddy that put on the fish.

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout

    Awesome experince! Definitely recommend.

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    Can’t say I caught as many fish as my son, but what a great time. The captain was awesome, the boat was spotless, he was early, and communication was easy; the best part is that boy he put us on the fish!!! 5 hogfish for the day, unreal guidance, and luck. I won’t even try another charter in the area, especially with that awesome playlist. Thanks again for having us.

    Reported catch:

    Great Trip

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    We are avid fisherman from the Midwest, with minimal ocean experience. We caught Red fish, Mango Snapper, Lady Fish, Speckled Trout and Catfish. Captain William Parker, aka True, made this trip memorable for us. He was very knowledgeable, informative and personable. We would absolutely seek him out again. We had a lot of fun!

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper

    Even with less then ideal conditions Capt. Will was able to put us on fish! The boat was very clean and in top of the line condition. William obviously loves what he does, was very knowledgeable and just the kind of guy you want to spend the day fishing with. Will for sure book with him again!

    Fishing was a little slow but figured it would be with the full moon. But our Captain still got us on fish and we will have plenty for a couple meals. The kids and wife enjoyed it so that's a win in my book. The captain was very good with keeping everyone hooked and fishing. Would definitely book again.

    Green to salt water fishing. Captain William explained everything we needed to know. All you need are opportunities and we had plenty of that. Great Day! ! I would do it again. David

What's biting with Rebel Coast Charters in Clearwater

Inshore, Redfish is hungry and ready to pounce your hook just as Trout begin to re-appear in the cooler waters. Head offshore to grapple with Amberjack for a good workout or target Snappers and Groupers over reefs and wrecks.
