Charter Operator
Reel Passion Charters

Member since September 2021 Clearwater, United States
Background
Spending his whole life growing up on the West Coast of Florida, fishing has been in Captain Nick's blood since the time he could walk. He has spent his whole life making a living off of fishing, from tournaments to commercial fishing and now full-time inshore charter fishing. Children of all ages are welcome aboard and he's quick to adjust the type of fishing to your crew's needs. From keeping kids busy the whole trip reeling in fish, to hardcore trophy hunting with experienced anglers looking to catch a personal best, Clearwater Florida's plentiful waters have something to offer for everybody. If you're looking for a memorable, all-inclusive fishing charter, Reel Passion Charters is the way to go. Captain Nick is fully licensed, insured, and provides everything needed for a memorable day on the water, from cold drinks and ice to top-end fishing tackle and the freshest live bait possible.
Techniques
When you book a trip, you'll be primarily light tackle inshore fishing. The main sportfish you target will be Redfish, Trout, and Snook. However, as seasons and conditions change, you and the captain will always be sure to target whatever will provide you with the most action for the day. You'll generally be fishing shallow water flats around the intercoastal. But when the weather allows you to go off the beach a few miles, the captain's always eager to jump at the opportunity to go target Mangrove Snapper, Tripletail, Grouper, Kingfish, and Grey Snapper, all of which are great table-fare. When you return to the dock, if you chose to keep fish for dinner the captain will fillet your catch and you'll have a zip-lock bag of iced down boneless fillets. For questions on Tarpon season, please message Captain Nick directly.
