Hello, I’m Captain Bryan. Born and raised in New Jersey, I’ve spent the majority of my life calling Florida home and pursuing my love for fishing. From a young age, I was hooked on angling—casting lines for stripers and bluefish along the Jersey shore, and spending countless hours at my grandparents' place in Punta Gorda, fishing the snook-filled ponds right in their backyard. In 2011, I made the move to Florida full-time, enrolling at Eckerd College, where I found the perfect balance between studying and fishing—a true win-win situation! Since then, I purchased a skiff and have been exploring these waters weekly, the very same areas I still fish today.
With extensive experience navigating Tampa Bay and its neighboring waters, I have developed a deep understanding of the local fishery—knowing where the fish gather, their favorite food sources, and how their behavior changes with the seasons. I currently offer inshore fishing charters from September to April, and specialize in Tarpon excursions during their prime season, from May through mid-August.
My mission with every trip is to fully engage my guests with the natural beauty of the outdoors while delivering an exceptional fishing experience in Tampa Bay. Whether you’re an expert angler, a weekend hobbyist, a beginner, or a family exploring Florida’s scenic waters, I guarantee an enjoyable and memorable outing. I am flexible with starting locations to best suit your needs.
Clients often share how great their experience was—from perfect weather to enthusiastic feedback from all ages. Many have called it an outstanding day on the water and highly recommend the tours. It’s always an incredible pleasure to guide such wonderful groups and provide some of the best fishing adventures around.
You can cancel without any charges up to 7 days prior to your trip and get a credit applied to your account. If you cancel within 7 days of the trip, your deposit will be retained by the guide. Canceling on the day of the trip or failing to show up will result in the full trip cost being billed to your card.
Wear lightweight clothing suitable for hot weather, and don’t forget to pack sunscreen and sunglasses for protection from the sun.
Experience world-class tarpon fishing in the stunning waters of Tampa Bay, known globally for its thrilling angling opportunities. Get ready for an adrenaline rush as you battle the fierce Silver King, one of Saint Petersburg, Florida's most sought-after gamefish. We provide flexible booking options with both morning and afternoon/evening tarpon charters tailored to maximize your fishing adventure.
During morning trips, you'll employ either live or dead bait, targeting tarpon located through side scan technology or sight fishing along the beach. Our afternoon and evening excursions often focus on the outgoing tides, capitalizing on the influx of crabs that attract tarpon throughout Tampa Bay, though occasional sight fishing on the beach is still part of the experience.
Whether it's the early hours or the close of day, these charters promise some of the most exhilarating and memorable moments you'll ever have on the water, fighting the powerful Silver King!
