We had a morning with Paul. After our safety review we boated out to his spot and spent our morning catching fish. Large and small and everything in between. Our eight year old caught enough big fish to tire him out. Knowledgeable and patient, Paul made an excellent Captain. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the great review Scott! You guys were amazing. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! It was a pleasure having you all out on the boat. We had a fun trip and I’m glad we were able to get you on some quality redfish and gator trout. Thanks again for fishing with Tightlines Charter, and I hope to get you back out for another Clearwater fishing charter soon!

We caught 8 fish for our family of 4 and all were a bunch of different speices. My son caught the most (7 years old) of all of us. Captain Paul gets a 10/10 rating from us on all fronts. He was great at communicating prior to the meet, checked in, gave us good directions, instructions and was quick replying. On the boat, the ride was smooth, seating was perfect for 4 people and the view was stunning. We used live shrimp baited ourselves or with help and were able to cast and reel in ourseoves.... More

Kiley, you guys were amazing! We got lucky with the wind laying down a little bit and the fish showed up for breakfast. Thanks for spending some of your vacation with Tightlines! I look forward to seeing you guys again on your next visit!

We had a family-friendly trip where we caught a lot of different fish and to check out the area along the way. Captain Paul was friendly and made the trip a breeze.

Thank you so much for the kind words — it truly means a lot, especially coming from a fellow charter captain! I’m really glad your whole family had a great day out on the water. Getting kids hooked on fishing and seeing those smiles when they’re catching multiple species is what it’s all about.
We had an awesome trip exploring the Clearwater and Tampa Bay waters, and I’m glad the grandkids were able to experience everything from catching fish to seeing the local marine life and bird activity. Those mixed-bag inshore trips are perfect for families and a great way to keep everyone engaged.
I appreciate you trusting Tightlines Charter with your family fishing trip, and I’m glad we could deliver a fun, memorable experience. If you’re ever back in the Clearwater area, I’d love to get you all out again for another inshore fishing adventure!
– Captain Paul
