Inshore Fishing
Our inshore trips are great for those looking to explore the coastal waters around the Gulf and Tampa Bay. We’re always on the hunt for hard-fighting redfish, sneaky snook, and those big, powerful tarpon. The shallow waters and the mix of mangroves, oyster bars, and grass flats make for some epic fishing. And the best part? You don’t have to go far to catch a monster. It’s a short trip, a lot of fun, and a whole lot of fish!
Target Species
On these trips, we’re looking for moving water flowing around structure like bridges, sea walls, docks, ledges, and mangroves. We use a mix of live bait tactics from bottom fishing to floats/corks. Target species include Snapper, Flounder, Sea Bass, Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, Jacks, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, and many more.
Where We Fish
Our inshore trips are great for those looking to explore the coastal waters around the Gulf and Tampa Bay. We’re fishing on the Manatee River, Terra Ceia Bay, and Tampa Bay. These are close to shore with shorter distances and travel times—making them perfect for a quick getaway for families and kids.
What's Included
All rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, licenses, cooler with ice, and water will be waiting aboard our 36’ Al Dhaen center console. Powered by twin 250 HP Yamaha engines, this fast vessel comes complete with an autopilot, radar, state-of-the-art Furuno electronics, and other professional accessories.
We have two giant Ocean Tamer bean bag chairs for lounging and relaxing on the boat—perfect for the kiddos to take a break.
There is also a full toilet with a sink aboard, along with plenty of comfortable seating to keep you relaxed and refreshed all day long.
When we get back to the marina, our first mate will fillet and bag your catch for transport home. If you want to learn how to fillet a fish, we’re happy to teach you the ins and outs of how to properly process your fish.
What To Bring
Bring comfortable clothing for the weather, sunscreen (no spray on or tanning oil), and non-marking shoes. Rain jackets do not hurt if there is rain in the forecast, though on summer days it’s a welcome respite from the heat.
Bring snacks, lunch, and any beverages of choice for the trip.
You’re welcome to bring your own cooler if you have one pre-packed for the family or the kids. This is also great for transporting your catch home.
