Tampa Bay fishing charters are the best way for an angler to experience some of the Gulf's finest fishing. Tampa Bay fishing charters offer a variety of chartered fishing trips to suit different time and budget constraints. "Blue" Water Trips: A "blue" water trip is the most expensive type of chartered trip and requires the most amount of time. A "Blue" water trip get its name because at about 100 miles from the Gulf Coast the water deepens dramatically and changes from greenish to a deep blue azure. "Blue" water trips typically depart around 8 pm, steam out during the night a few hundred miles, allow clients to fish for an entire day in the Gulf's deep blue waters for sport fish like tuna, dorado, and marlin, before steaming back home during the night and to arrive dockside at around 8 am. In-Shore: In-shore trips are the least expensive and shortest charter fishing trips available. In-shore trips pair clients with some of the area's most experienced guides to fish Tampa Bay's many in-shore coastal marshes, reefs, and flats for red fish, sea trout, drum, and many other species of sport fish. No matter your time or budget constraints, Tampa Bay fishing charters can offer you a chance to experience some of the Gulf's finest fishing. Share
