What anglers said about fishing in Hillsborough County

Take sun cream and a hat as the sun can still burn. No head on board so use the bathroom before hand. Listen to the skipper as her knows what he’s doing.

It's a good inshore trip and starting downtown makes it easy for convention goers.

Just let the expert teach you how to fish. We went quite a ways out and caught lots of fish, I was hoping to catch a tarpon but they weren’t biting.

Watch the moon . If it's a full moon the fish eat all night making them harder to catch during the day.

Call captains prior to going out to see current species, conditions… and how to pay captains because app can be confusing

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.

Know when the tide is coming in and going out. Guys at the bait shops are helpful. Even the charter captains will give you tips if you talk to them.

You will be fishing in the bay, so theres no need for a 30' boat. Waves are pretty calm .

All aspects of the trip were excellent. I suggest that any July trip be in the morning only, since afternoon rains are probable. Captain Jarrod was pleasant, knowledgeable, and put ous onto fish for the entire trip. J. W. Wilde

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...

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