INSHORE FISHING TAMPA BAY

Tampa Bay is one of the best places in Florida for shallow water fishing. The grass flats, winding creeks, rivers, and oyster bars create the perfect home for inshore fish. These waters are full of life — and full of action.


We fish for redfish, snook, trout, black drum, flounder, and more. These game fish thrive here, and when the tide is right, the bite is on!


There’s nothing like cruising out of the mangroves and seeing the wide-open flats come to life. You’ll see fish, bait, birds, and sometimes even dolphins — all in one place. And when your rod bends and a fish hits the line, the fun really begins.


Come see why Tampa Bay inshore fishing is some of the best in Florida — and let’s go catch something great!
