What anglers said about fishing in Tampa Bay

You have to come with knowledge knowing you will not sit and catch fish nonstop as much as we all would love to but the experience of being out there is just as great.

Listen to your captain’s advice. I’m used to ‘setting the hook’ on bites but these fish hooked up better when you resist the urge to set.

It is worth spending more to get more time. We did 3 hours and could have been out for hours more.

Target what is most in season and conditions are best for. Right now it seems to be inshore species.

I personally have very little experience fishing and did just fine. You don’t have to be an expert to enjoy yourself!

Weather is spotty, may not always be the case. Hard to plan for the weather, overall was a great time. Happy to be on the water catching fish!

It was my first time and it exceeded our expectations in how many fish we caught. The captain told us what we were going after and boy did we go after. A thumbs up on both hands.

Yes the abundance of fish was more than expected, you could tell the big fish were moving since we had to opportunity to see 3 different cobia, 2 blacktop sharks and the fight with a tiger shark.

Great morning to be out fishing on the Florida waters doing inshore fishing. We only had two hours to spare with our schedule… If we had more time, we would definitely do the four hour trip. That being said, Captain Logan got us where the fish were biting, and we caught several different species! Had a great time and would definitely recommend!

Ask for what kind of fish are biting hard right now and try to target those. It's more fun to get a lot of heavy bites. especially when a few of them are nice sized!
