I am a Coast Guard certified charter captain with extensive experience guiding in the Tampa Bay area. Whether you enjoy spin or fly fishing, your chances of success are as good here as anywhere else in Florida.
My base of operation is the St. Pete Beach area of Tampa Bay and I can trailer my 17' Maverick flats boat to other areas as needed. My boat is equipped with both spin and fly fishing gear should you choose not to bring your own.
FFF - Certified Master Fly Casting Instructor
If you'd like to learn how to fly fish, I am a Federation of Fly Fishers certified master fly casting instructor. Even if you already have fly fishing experience, you may be able to pick up a few pointers on how to improve your performance.
Tampabay Fly Fishing Club and Suncoast Fly Fishers often sponsor outings where I teach the art of fly casting. It's a hands-on experience where both novice or experienced fly fisherman can improve their techique.
