If you wish to fish the Iconic Sunshine Skyway Bridge, we have you covered. The waters of the Skyway Bridge are what we consider “one stop shopping”. The shipping channel waters are deep, and the edges provide a good habitat for Gag Groupers and Mangrove Snappers. At Scotty J’s we understand not everyone fishes, but they still love being on the water. We also understand it can be quite intimidating to rent a boat and just head out to an area you have never been. To help you with this we do offer none-fishing trips. Book this trip if you are interested in cruising, sightseeing, or dolphin watching. Scotty J’s does not guarantee fish; however, we do promise we will do everything possible to put you on the fish. If you have a special need or request, please do not hesitate to ask and if possible, we will gladly accommodate you. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you!
