Over the past 25 years in business some of my most memorable outings have been those that involved guiding families together on fishing trips and sightseeing excursions on Tampa Bay. I now often take third generations of family members that I have gotten to know well over these many years and have come to love like family of my own.
Tampa Bay offers a tremendous amount of beauty to take in and each individual gets something entirely different out of their time and experience on board. I am the perfect guide for your family whether you are a novice to fishing or you actually take it quite seriously.
Fishing is an activity for all ages to enjoy together with no experience necessary what soever. Whether you are serious about catching fish or find yourself taking photos of the fascinating nature that you become a part of. There is a palpable pleasure that is both thrilling and rewarding for everyone. Come and enjoy sharing family time as you indulge in the vast influence of this large natural harbor and shallow estuary that connects nature with possibility. In between catching fish and moving locations there is great probability of viewing manatees, dolphins, many different species of birds along with giant sea turtles.
As a fishing guide, tournament director, kids fishing camp leader and co-host of an amazing fishing club, I continually strive incredibly hard in sharing the importance of the conservation of our local waterways and amazing estuaries. There is far more “pressure” on our fish now more than ever before and I feel that it is my duty as a steward of my craft to share with you that I do not promote catch and kill. It is however, your fishing trip, and if insisted upon, I will clean and bag your legal catches.
I assure you that I will take every measure possible to navigate your family to a fantastic time on Tampa Bay that will leave you with lifelong memories.
I take pride in preparation, I’m dedicated to helping you reach your fishing goals and insure you complete safety. I always take the time go over all of the details of our day prior to leaving the dock and that includes sharing safety measures. I’m always more than happy to answer any and all questions you may have.
As a complete and total dog lover I am proud to be a “dog friendly charter service”, I know that many of us look for dog friendly lodging while traveling, so please feel free to bring your beloved furry family member or request that River comes as my first mate.
These are some of the latest photos from our fishing adventures!
