    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    My boyfriend and I went out with Tyler from Surreal Fishing Adventures today, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. Tyler was absolutely exceptional! From the minute we got on the boat, he was friendly, welcoming, down to earth, and just incredibly easy to be around. He took us to a bunch of different spots, showed us so much of the area, and shared tons of local knowledge and interesting details along the way. He explained everything perfectly and never made us feel rushed. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and takes pride in making sure the people on his boat have an amazing experience. What really made the day was Tyler himself. He didn’t just take us fishing — he made the whole day an experience. We laughed, learned a ton, saw some beautiful places, and felt completely comfortable the entire time. It honestly felt more like spending the day on the water with a friend who happens to know all the best spots! If you’re considering booking with Surreal Fishing Adventures, DO IT!!! We will absolutely book with him again in the future. Such a fun, memorable day and easily one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, Tyler, for going above and beyond and giving us such an awesome day on the water! 🎣🌴☀️ 10/10 experience — highly, highly recommend!

    Capt. Tyler is the Man!

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    My father-in-law and I had an AMAZING time with Capt. Tyler! Being born and raised from the area, Tyler has a fantastic understanding about the fish behavior in the area. He's built and crafted a great tour of fishing spots. We fished for Spotted Sea Trout & Red Fish and were successful in catching both species. 10/10 would recommend. If we find ourselves back in the area, we will be going out with Capt. Tyler again!!!

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout

    The Perfect Trip

    Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM • 2 adults

    Tyler is a great captain and put us on a lot of redfish during our half day on the water. We put a lot of quality fish in the boat, and we fulfilled one of my longest lasting fishing goals: a 30+” redfish. Tyler is probably the most well rounded captain I’ve been around. He catered to a seasoned angler and a relatively novice angler at the same time on our trip and we were both able to thoroughly enjoy our time and put some nice fish in the boat. Great experience overall, could not be happier with the way our trip turned out. Thank you, Tyler!

    Captain Tyler was absolutely amazing for our family fishing trip! We had 4 adults and 2 kids and Tyler was on top of it! Tyler kept our lines baited, and knew right where the fish were biting! A full cooler of fish, couldn't have asked for a better day!

Redfish & Speckled Trout Firing Inshore

Sep 11, 2026 • Belleair Bluffs
Fall is approaching! Summer is coming to an end , but with warm water temps there are still plenty of those memorable catches swimming in our waters. Tarpon season is winding down. Redfish and speckled trout are firing off inshore, while our nearshore bite is doing just as well for Gag grouper, mangrove snapper along with some hogfish moving in . October is one of our best months of the year to get out and enjoy beautiful weather with friends and family.

Spring is approaching!

Feb 21, 2026 • Belleair Bluffs
We’ve been still dealing with some cold water temps but as the gulf starts heating up we will be in full swing of some great fishing this year. It’s already starting to look like a great year with the quality redfish and speckled sea trout we have been targeting inshore. Our nearshore fishing has been just as good as long as mother nature allows us to make the run. Have been filling the coolers with beautiful hogfish, sheepshead and mangrove snapper which all make phenomenal table fare. Come book your adventure now before the dates fill up.

Fall Fishing in Clearwater Florida!

Nov 22, 2024 • Belleair Bluffs
Water temps are cooling off. Plenty of redfish and snook still around. As it gets cooler , snook will start thinning out . Redfish will contine to stick around along with other species such as speckled sea trout , black drum, sheepshead and the elusive triple tail which make great table fare along with real fun sight fishing opportunities.
