Gulf Coastin Charters offers some of the best inshore fishing trips in the Tampa Bay area. Our priority is getting you to the fish, so you are able to catch as many fish as possible on our trips.

Captain Brian Gearhart will be touring you around during the course of your fishing adventure. Capt. Brian has over 40 years of experience fishing freshwater and saltwater from the Northeast area of the Saint Lawrence Seaway to southwestern Florida in the Tampa Bay area. Capt. Brian has a passion for saltwater fishing and the various inshore species around the Tampa Bay area. When you go on a fishing trip with Capt. Brian, you will venture out of St. Petersburg and sail around the waters of Tampa, Bradenton, Clearwater, Sarasota, Largo, Palm Harbor, and many other spots around Tampa Bay.

You will fish aboard a 21’ NauticStar powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine. This boat comes with everything you need for inshore fishing, including a full tower, two live bait wells, and a wireless trolling motor. On board you will find an ice box to store your catch and your drinks. There is room for up to four passengers aboard this vessel and children of all ages are welcome. You can expect to see all of the proper safety and navigational equipment on deck as well.

Your trip will include rods, reels, tackle, bait and a fishing license. Children are welcome on board. Some fishing techniques we use to catch fish are bottom fishing, jigging, and light tackle fishing.

The Tampa/St Pete areas have a diverse fish population. Species that you may catch on your charter are Snook, Seatrout, Redfish, Tarpon, Spanish Mackerel, Bonito, Cobia, Shark, Mangrove Snapper, Grouper, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Bluefish, Kingfish, Tripletail, and others.Late summer is very productive for Mangrove Snapper around the bridges and inshore structure. Then in the late fall and winter, the Sheepshead bite is productive.

Gulf Coastin Charters is all about you having a great time. Captain Brian Gearhart will make a personal goal to see you walking off the boat with as many catches as possible to show for your successful fishing charter trip. Book a trip with us today and experience the wonders of Tampa inshore fishing!

Half Day Trip (AM)
After days of rain before the trip, we had a beautiful day out on the water with Captain Brian. He was early and fully ready with everything we needed for the day. The day started slow with the bite possibly affected by all the rain. Capt Brian never gave up and we move quickly to other spots and got on the fish. We had a great time hooking up with multiple trout and my son landed a monster. At one point we were catching as fast as we cast the bait in the water. Snook and redfish just didn’t cooperate but we switched gears and got into some sheepshead and mangrove snapper. Saw lots of dolphins, sharks, and pesky pelicans. It was my first experience fishing saltwater but I would recommend Capt Brian to anyone looking to have an awesome experience. After eating the fillets I may have to do it again next time. So good and such great memories made. Thanks Capt Brian.

Half Day Trip (AM)
My son and I were amazed at the knowledge of captain Brian. not only did he get us fishing, but he also talked about the science behind why they are in certain locations at different times of the season. we are fishing novices and not once did he get frustrated with my son and me getting our lines tangled, lol.
