Overview

Experience and explore backwaters of Hillsborough and Tampa Bay! Always a short distant and boat ride to great fishing in Tampa Bay Inlet. Enjoy fishing one of the most popular cities in Florida, it has a unique ecosystem found right within downtown. Fishing is great all year round, and there is such diversity of nearshore, flats and backcountry fishing for Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Trout, Snapper, Sheepshead, Cobia, Drum, Pompano, Spanish Mackerel, Bonito or Sharks, depending on the season.

Even on windy days, there are plenty of places to fish, in the Bay, you can fish one of the many barrier islands, and hundreds of miles of backcountry water shoreline, making this an experience, not just another fishing trip.

Travelers that have enjoyed our Tampa Florida fishing charters also enjoyed a day at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay or a day at Big Cat Rescue. Tampa has a lot to offer and we would love to show you the full experience!

Frequently Asked Questions

(9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Tampa Bay Inshore Fishing Charters?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
