The 4 Hour Fishing Trip is a great option for getting out on Tampa Bay without taking up your entire day. Capt. Frankie will take you to productive inshore fishing areas based on the conditions and what’s biting, with opportunities to target snook, redfish, sheepshead, snapper, Spanish mackerel, and other seasonal species. It’s a solid choice for families, newer anglers, or anyone looking for a fun morning or afternoon on the water.

The 4 Hour Bow Fishing Trip brings a different kind of challenge to your time on Tampa Bay. Capt. Frankie will guide you through productive shallow-water areas where you’ll watch for opportunities, line up your shot, and put your aim to the test. With four hours on the water, there’s plenty of time to settle in, learn the ropes, and experience the excitement of bow fishing firsthand.

Six hours gives you more time to explore Tampa Bay’s inshore waters, from shallow flats and backcountry waterways to protected mangrove shorelines where fish like to feed and take cover. Target snook, redfish, sheepshead, snapper, Spanish mackerel, and other seasonal species while taking in the wildlife that shares these waters, including ospreys, manatees, and even the occasional bald eagle.
Starting at $795
Make a full day of fishing Tampa Bay with eight hours to explore Ruskin’s backwaters, shallow flats, mangrove shorelines, and other productive inshore areas. Target snook, redfish, snapper, Spanish mackerel, sheepshead, spotted seatrout, and other seasonal species, with plenty of time to follow the bite as conditions change. Bring lunch and keep the lines in the water and fish the entire day.
$250 for 2 Hours
Slow things down with a private two-hour sunset cruise on Tampa Bay, made for two people to enjoy the water as the Florida sun goes down. Leave the crowds behind, take in the evening views from the boat, and spend some uninterrupted time together for a date night that feels a little more memorable than dinner and drinks.

Masks, fins, snorkels, and scalloping gear are provided, making this an easy and fun experience even if it’s your first time. Bring home your legal harvest and turn a day on the water into a fresh scallop dinner.

The 4 Hour Night Fishing Trip is a different way to experience Tampa Bay after the sun goes down. Capt. Frankie will take you to productive inshore areas where you can target snook, redfish, snapper, and other species active after dark. It’s a great option for anglers looking to beat the daytime heat and enjoy a quieter side of Tampa Bay with plenty of action on the water.
Trip pricing is based on up to 2 guests unless otherwise stated. Additional guests are $50 per person, with a maximum of 4 guests for Tampa Bay inshore fishing trips. A $100 deposit is due when your booking is confirmed and will be taken by card over the phone. The remaining balance is due at the end of your trip and can be paid by cash, card, or check.

Our preparation for your trip begins several days prior and includes rigging tackle, fueling, and netting bait, which is why we ask for at least 7 days cancellation notice. A cancellation fee of 50% cost of the trip will be charged if not cancelled within 7 days of the charter. Forfeit of the $100 deposit will occur if the trip is not cancelled within 30 days.
If for some reason the Captain must cancel or there is inclement weather, we will work with you to reschedule or provide a full refund of deposit.
A little preparation goes a long way toward a comfortable day on the water. Pack the essentials, leave a few things at home, and Captain Frankie will take care of the fishing gear and the rest.
