My name is Ryan and I'm a Florida native that's been fishing since I was 4 years old. Originally from Miami, I started Bass fishing in the canal behind my house. I moved to Tarpon Springs over 25 years ago and have been fishing these waters ever since. I spent my first few years learning the waters and fishing with friends for fun and then began to fish local tournaments. After having success in tournaments I started commercial fishing in the area which led to guiding. My passion is fishing but more importantly, it's to have the opportunity to share that passion and see people truly enjoy the great fishing and gorgeous nature I'm lucky enough to see daily. My job is to make your experience one you'll never forget and head home at the end with a smile. Let's go fishing!

Ted Green5.0VerifiedHalf Day Trip with Capt Ryan
Half Day Trip (Midday) • 4 adultsCapt. Ryan was awesome. Got my family onto fish the first cast of the day. Caught plenty of ladyfish to start out the trip. Capt. Ryan was extremely knowledgeable and after the first 45 minutes of catching ladyfish, moved us around for more sport fishing. Along with ladyfish, family also caught mackerel, bluefish and 2 nice keeper Redfish. Fishing was slower than expected but our family caught fish. Capt Ryan stayed out past our paid hours so we weren’t disappointed!!! At the dock, Capt Ryan cleaned our catch while we retrieved our car. When we returned to the dock, our fish was cleaned, bagged and on ice for us to take. Would highly recommend this charter. If you book with this charter and your GPS takes you to a county park, your in the right place. We got lost and Capt Ryan immediately responded to our issue through the booking app and got us to the dock so we didn’t miss much fishing. Great memories for our first time fishing off shore!!!

Half Day Trip (Midday) • 3 adults • 2 childrenMe and my 2 boys ages 8 and 7 went fishing with Captain Ryan. He did a great job putting us in a position to catch fish and was incredibly patient with both of my boys. We had a great time and would recommend him to anyone.

Full Day Trip • 3 adultsWe enjoyed a great day of fishing with Captain Ryan. He put us on fish all day including the in-shore grand slam of trout, redfish, jack and snook. Dane (age 7) had the time of his life. Capt. Ryan is the best and we recomend him very highly!

Florida is open for business!!!!
Sep 17, 2017 • Holiday
Hurricane Irma did little more than provide a big scare to the Central West Coast of Florida. While some areas sustained major and unfortunate damage The Tampa Bay area dodged yet another major storm. Aside from some downed trees and a few days without power the area is back up running and open for business as usual!! Additionally with all the rain and cooler air temperatures the fishing has really ramped up!! Snook season opened on September first and the Redfish are eating all over the region. With the first few cool fronts we should see the beginning of the migratory species such as Cobia, Kingfish and Spanish Mackerel as well!! In many ways the hurricane scare actually improved the fishing for us!! Don't be fooled by the images on the news; Florida is running on all cylinders and ready for your visit!!!

Late Summer, Fall preview
Aug 22, 2017 • Holiday
Water temps are still hovering around 90 in the afternoons but the fish have been feeding well. Snook season opens in less than a week, the Redfish are bunching up in larger schools like they do every Fall and the inshore Mangrove Snapper bite has already begun. Plenty of Trout are still around and recent trips have produced solid mixed bags on multiple species as well as good numbers of the top tier gamefish!!

Cool weather, hot bite
Oct 24, 2016 • Holiday
Early fall in Florida doesn't start until November some years, but we had a recent "cold" front this past weekend. It was all good news as the bait stayed put and the big 3 inshore species (Snook, Redfish and Trout) made a move from their Summer haunts to the places they'll spend the Fall and Winter. The last two trips recorded multiple inshore slams with overslot Redfish and 40+" Snook mixed into the daily hauls! Cobia are starting to show up more and more everyday as well. Fishing only looks to get better as the cooler air keeps the Gulf water in the mid 70 degree zone that all our our residential and pelagic species thrive in!!
