The full-day trip is designed to give you the most exposure to the different fishing habitats available around the Tampa Bay region. Full days are generally 8 hours in duration and will cover the most ground and tide conditions. Most of the year, these trips are run from docks near Tarpon Springs, but we can also fish Tampa Bay if it's more convenient. Certain times of the year I recommend the Bay over the north region. I will tailor a trip to suit your needs and desires. Full day charter rates are as follows:
Full Day Charter: $450 up to two anglers ($50 each additional up to 4 total)

The half-day trip is our most popular duration. Four to five hours in length, this trip allows you to experience the excitement of inshore fishing and still have time left to enjoy other attractions. The half-day trip is tailored around tides and other conditions to provide the best chances for success. I will recommend a window of time on your selected date, but you can schedule your trip for any time that's convenient. Half-day charter rates are as follows:
Half-day charter: $350 up to 2 anglers ($50 each additional up to 4 total)

Night trips are offered most of the year. These trips generally depart from the docks at Ft. Desoto Park, near the Skyway Bridge. Target species include snook, trout, and tarpon. Night trips offer a perspective not often seen by most people. We will fish residential canals, concentrating on lighted docks. Tarpon along the Skyway Bridge are also a target during the summer months. Night fishing is probably one of my favorites, but it does require more attention to detail and concentration. Night trips are generally 6 to 8 hours in duration. Night trip pricing is as follows. Night trips are limited to 2 anglers please:
Night Charter: $550 covers 2 anglers (no additional please)

Eco tours are designed to give the non-angler a chance to experience the natural environment along the west coast of Florida. Centered around Anclote Key, near Tarpon Springs, the eco tour will last approximately 2 hours. Best experienced near sunset, this tour generally allows you to experience widelife in abundance. Many species of birds can be seen, as well as dolphins. When tides are appropriate, you may even have the chance to walk along the shores of Anclote Key, a Florida State Preservation Area with boat-only access. Eco tours accomodate up to 4 passengers. Rates are as follows:
2 hour Eco Tour (Anclote Key): $250
