He has been studying the pristine grass flats and estuaries inside Tampa bay for decades and strives to make your trip a memorable one. What should you expect on your fishing charter?

Taylor is a successful business owner and influencer. Whether you are a local trying to become more familiar with Tampa Bay or just flying down from out of state, we can accommodate you and make sure you leave with a fish story that will surely impress your friends.
