I grew up on the waters of Tampa Bay – not just visiting, but living on these tides. As a kid, my days were spent running the shoreline from Sarasota to St. Petersburg, chasing schools of bait, learning every flat, channel, and mangrove edge by feel long before there was a GPS on the boat. As I got older, I pushed farther north, exploring the hidden pockets of Hernando County and the quieter stretches of coastline where the fish are aggressive and the crowds thin out. Those years weren't vacations – they were my classroom. Every sunrise, every tide change, every bent rod was another lesson in how these waters really work. Slot Boys Charters is my way of opening that world up to you. When you step on the boat, you're not just booking a random trip in 'Tampa Bay' – you're fishing the exact routes I've run since I was a kid, across Tampa, Sarasota, St. Pete, and all the way up the coast. I know where the fish move when the wind shifts, where the kids can get steady action, and where the serious anglers can hunt for that one fish they'll talk about for years. My goal is simple: take all those years of time on the water, all those personal memories, and turn them into your day – your story, your photos, your 'remember when' moments that last long after we leave the dock.

    wonderful trip

    2 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)(PM) • 3 adults

    We took our grandson fishing today. Dillion was super helpful, baiting our hooks, giving advice about how and where to cast our line. We each caught fish!! Dillon cleaned our fish and I’m sure we will have a yummy dinner tonight. I highly recommend Dillion and Slot boys

    Capt. Dillon and First mate Alex are AMAZING

    Nighttime Bridge Fishing - 7:00 PM • 2 adults

    Capt. Dillon and Alex were able to schedule me last minute for my birthday. They are vey Knowledgeable and will teach and show you diffrent fishing methods. We caught so many Grouper of diffrent types, grunts and snapper. I'll definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to catch a lot of quality fish in a short amount of time.

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper
    Gag Grouper
    Response from Captain

    I appreciate you guys and I’m very happy that we were able to accommodate. We will be looking to see you in the future!

    Great day on the water

    4 Hour inshore trip - 9:00 AM • 3 adults

    Loved our day out with Captain Dillon and Slotboy Charters. The boat was prepped and fully stocked and everything was easy even for amateur anglers like us. Caught grouper, lady fish, flounder and took home plenty of sea trout for a great dinner. Oh, good soundtrack too

    Reported catch:
    Red Grouper

What's biting with SlotBoys Charters 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.
