Sport fishing in Tampa Florida

FAQ'S

Q: How do I book a trip?

A: Once you decide on your day(s), contact us to confirm availability. We require a credit card number or a 25% deposit to hold a day. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before your scheduled trip will forfeit the deposit or incur a 25% credit card charge.

Q: What should I bring?

A: Bring whatever food and beverages you prefer. (Beer, wine and liquor are allowed, but, for safety reasons, drunkenness will terminate the fishing.) We also suggest sunscreen, hats, sunglasses and a small towel. We provide all the fishing gear, tackle, licenses and bait.

Q: Will I definitely catch fish?

A: The captain and mate will give you their best effort and, in all likelihood, you will catch fish. However, the sea is unpredictable and angler skill sometimes becomes a factor. We suggest you advise us, prior to launch, as to your priority. Targeting larger, high-profile fish requires different tactics than catching large numbers of less challenging species. We'll always do our best to accommodate your request.

Q: What type of fish are we likely to catch

A: That depends on the type of trip you book and whether you go offshore or inshore, but here are some local favorites.
* Grouper
* Kingfish
* Cobia
* Amberjack
* Snapper
* Tarpon
* Blue Marlin
* Sailfish
* Dolphin
* Wahoo
* Barracuda
* Tuna

Q: How many people can you take?

A: We are U.S. Coast Guard certified to carry six passengers (adults or children), regardless of who fishes.

Q: What form of payment do you accept?

A: We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, personal and company checks, and cash.

Q: What happens to the fish I catch?

A: Any legal fish you catch are yours to do with as you wish. We will clean and bag your catch for you, or help you arrange for your fish to be prepared at a local restaurant. We advise you on current catch limits and conservation ethics. Once you've reached your limit of a certain species, tell us if you want to keep fishing for catch-and-release fun or move on to another species.

Q: Is tipping required?

A: A minimum 20% of trip cost is the standard gratuity, however, excellent service may merit more.
