Tampa Bay Florida has one of the most beautiful pristine and preserved Fisheries any fishing fanatic or professional fisherman would want to to enjoy. And when you go fishing with a professional fishing charter like Captain Joe from sloppy joe fishing charters in Tampa Florida you can find yourself catching unbelievable record breaking number of fish like Snook redfish and jack crevalle just to name a few.

If looking for a bigger boat to go out farther don't forget to ask about the boat lol I was expecting a bigger boat (didn't ask or specify) and wanted them to go further out but from the two boys point of view I got exactly what I wanted...a great experience...

Book the AM trip before the sun gets too hot. A tad cold heading out to the fishing spot but once settled it was a perfect weather.

Seeing dolphins and Manatee was also well worth the trip. The excitement of trying to catch the big one captain Dave was amazing. So much fun

You need to know the location and bait for catching the right species of fish. Local knowledge is important.

I recommend they go for Snook if it is the right time of year. And fish when the tide is moving. I think it makes a big difference.

If you can't catch fish in Tampa, something is wrong! Great place to wet a line.

Call the guide ( Tom Charlton ) and ask him or her what fish are biting when you want to fish.

Do you research on what fish your wanting to catch and when they are in season.
