Pinellas County Fishing Reports

If it is hot then get out of the intercontinental area and go out about 2- 3 miles

Utilize the o Local guides. You will gain a considerable amount of knowledge.

Ask to catch lots of fish, they will put you on a spot to do that, if you ask to catch big fish, they will put you on the spot but if fish do not cooperate well then you won't catch fish. But in the first spot once you start catching fish you never know, you could catch something big .

Make sure your guide is experienced and friendly. He took us out and did everything that we wanted to do. We went fishing, boating, looked for dolphins etc.

Plenty of reef and inshore species to target. Don’t expect a deep water pelagic experience. The shelf here doesn’t get to blue water until many miles offshore.

Highly recommend they go see Greg & Brett. They’ll make their day a true adventure.

We tried fishing on the piers but had very little luck. We also tried an inshore fishing trip and caught a few small fish but nothing we could keep. We decided to try a longer, deep sea fishing trip and caught many fish and even have fish to bring home.

Make sure you feel good overall; you are miles from the shoreline;go to the restroom before you get in the boat. Have some snacks with you and water.

We fished at night, and it was a beautiful evening, lots of fun! Didn't have to worry about sunscreen or daytime heat. Thank you for offering the night trip!

Was very hot and red tide made the fishing tough, however the Captain and crew did everything possible and fish were caught. If you want to catch fish and have a crew that goes above and beyond, this Captain and crew are top notch.

While we weren’t fishing for big fish, we were able to catch a bunch of fish to eat.

I was actually fishing in Kissimmee, but when going out on a charter with A Horizon Charters on any body of water the fishing is going to be great!

Start out with fresh cut bait and if you land a ladyfish use her as cut bait they hit that every time it hit the water

Listen to Cpt. Brent. He’s extremely knowledgeable and will put you on the fish as long as you do what he says.

Where we wanted to fish for tarpon was extremely windy where he took us was still a little windy but not as bad as where we had originally went and it was a wonderful atmosphere compliments to the captain

Captain Ike would be an excellent choice for a beginner and experienced person wanting to get out on the water

Be prepared for weather changes in Spring in Florida. We started day with good weather rather calm seas but wind picked up in afternoon and swells built a little.

If this is your first ocean fishing experience I recommend booking with Offshore Addicts. Its a whole lot different than fishing in the midwest where we are from but they made the experience so enjoyable!

Plan for a change in the weather, we had a cold front and wind force us to reschedule.

If you want to catch alot of great eating fish this is the trip. If you are in it for the fight of big fish take all day deep water trip
