See first hand why Tampa Bay is considered to be home to some of the best fishing in the whole of the United States. With 21 years inshore fishing the Gulf of Mexico, licensed guide Joe Raines is waiting to take you on an action packed fishing adventure that is fun for the whole family.

You will be fishing aboard a new model of a well equipped 20 ft Sportsman center console that can accommodate up to four anglers. With kids always fishing for free with Head First Fishing Adventures, this is the perfect set-up for a fun-filled family outing.

A huge variety of species call Tampa Bay home, meaning there is always something to catch! On a trip with captains Joe you could expect to land a range of fish, such as Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, Cobia, Flounder, Snapper, and Grouper. Jigging, popping, fly fishing, spin fishing, and conventional light tackle fishing are all techniques that could be used on your trip, depending on the fish you want to target and what you want to do.

Both hardcore anglers and newbies are welcome aboard with Head First Fishing. The guides consider giving people awesome fishing experiences to be their main reward, and they love to see the look on peoples’ faces when they hook their first fish or boat their fish of a lifetime.

6 Hour Trip – Inshore
Awesome time, 5 stars all around. Capt Joe is super easy to communicate with from the start of the booking process all the way to getting on his boat. O’neills marina is very easy to get into and out of. Capt Joe reviewed the tides, scheduled the charter perfectly. His knowledge had us on fish almost the whole trip. We were pulling out snook, trout, and redfish. We got our very first inshore slam. His equipment is great. His instructions on how to cast and reel better helped so much. Capt Joe is great for novices or seasoned anglers. Highly recommend.

6 Hour Trip – Inshore
Me and my 8 yr old daughter went in a 6 hr trip with Captain Joe. We arrived to bad news, his live well got turned off by accident and all the bait fish died. The captain came through and after a stop to bottom fish he was able to net some more bait which was fun to watch. We continued on and caught some Snook and a Jack. He was great with my daughter and helped her land her first Snook and a few more. I would definitely recommend him for family fun and good fishing.
