Fresh Tampa Bay Fishing Reports

Be ready for anything and get ready to have fun because it’s impossible not to! Book a trip asap!

Book a guide. Alot of rules for running the waterways here with alot of shallow flats also.

If you can book a trip late May prior to schools getting out and summer kicking off you’ll have a great time. I suggest a weekday as during the weekend it get really busy on the water and beaches but our Saturday trip was still very do-able and a great time! Zero complaints about the charter and the area we selected

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 !

Book with Costal Chaos Fishing Charters! They were professional, punctual, informative, knowledgeable, eager and capable of putting us in fish. Captain Cameron runs a top notch outfit.

Early morning before the wind comes up. Offshore is a blast if conditions are right. Otherwise you can’t miss w/ inshore fishing. Snook, snapper, sheep head, redfish a plenty

Be sure to visit the local downtown Restaurants and micro breweries. Enjoy all Dunedin has to offer!

It was my first time fishing out of Bradenton. I would recommend it to everyone.

Great time to get out there. The waters were calm and the fish bite constantly. Only down side of this time of year is several species are closed, so they can't be kept, including amberjack, red snapper, and gag grouper.

Tampa is full of fish, many different species. Makes for a great fishing experience.

Captain was great. Wanted to troll for a while going out . He did everything I expected. And I've been deep sea fishing here for 15 years & he will be the captain I'll every use for all my future trips . As a matter of fact I booked him for another trip while still down here !!! 10 stars

I can't speak to the deep water or inshore experience, but the backwater experience was super.

Be ready for a fun adventure! This was our first Charter and definitely will do again with Zack when we come back!

Nothing! but wear your hat, sunglasses and sunscreen! You will have a great time!!

10000/10 would recommend nautical soules thank you so much! Caught a ton of fish!

Hell to the yes!! Go see Captain Jacob with Double O Fishing Charter, you won't be disappointed!

It's a great time to go out. Snowbirds are leaving, and the kiddo's are still in school.

If you have motion sickness take a ginger supplement for 5 days before you go. Tip from the captain

Be prepared to catch some fish! Even if the weather looks calm and perfect, bring a light jacket, the wind picks up on the water when the boat is moving quick and it can get chilly.

Fish can be hit or miss. As long as the weather is good. Fishing is fishing
