What anglers said about fishing in Boca Ciega Bay

The captains all have a strategy for the best outcome given everchanging weather conditions, and tides. They are not magicians. If the charter involves spinning gear, then KNOW how to use it BEFORE your trip !

3 hour trip was perfect for our first time out but will do a longer trip next time. We had a great time and Captain Joe was awesome.

I am an experienced fresh water fisherman, but I highly recommend a guide to teach you the ways of the Ocean. Some skills transfer, some new techniques are definitely needed.

No less than 6hr and take steps to ward off sea sickness if you’ve never done this before. We had a good comfortable day on the water, not too rough - but it does happen to some people.

Allow enough time to take your catch to Crabby's on the Pass when you get done fishing. For $10 a person they cook your catch and provide two sides. It is right on the water and there is a good chance you will see a dolphin.

Book a private charter. It’s a much better experience than a big boat with lots of people.
