School’s out and temperatures are on the rise. So what’s the best Tampa-area family activity for this time of year? Fishing trips! Tampa Bay serves up a spectacular assortment of fish all summer long, and there’s no better outdoor activity when the weather gets hot than a breezy boat charter, where a quick, cool splash is always at your fingertips.
Of course, when you book a family activity, you want to make sure everything is just right. Here’s why Unreel Fishing Charters Tampa Bay is your No. 1 choice for a summertime family adventure on the water.
Tampa Bay Fishing Experience
I’m proud to say that fishing along Florida’s southwest coast is like nowhere else in the country. At 400-plus square miles, Tampa Bay is actually Florida’s largest open-water estuary. And even over all that space, it remains surprisingly shallow—only 11 feet deep on average.
Grass flats, docks and seawalls, canals and passes, sandy beaches and more—we’ve got it all. For so many fish species (not to mention the crustaceans and mollusks they feed on) Tampa Bay’s unique environment makes an ideal home for spawning and for young fish to grow.
But in order to take full advantage of this bounty, you need a Tampa Bay fishing charter captain who knows these waters well.
Not only does that knowledge help me to guide you to the best places for all the species these waters have to offer, but I can guide you there efficiently and safely. Tampa Bay’s shallow spots can be real hazards for folks who don’t know the area. And you don’t want to waste fishing time having to take the long way around—or worse still, getting stranded on a sandbar.
In fact, I started fishing Tampa Bay as a kid myself, so I know this area like the back of my hand. Plus, I remember what it’s like to fall in love with this experience at a young age. And I love seeing other kids get that excited, too.
Summer Fishing for Everyone
So what kind of fishing trip are you and your family looking for? Whatever it is, chances are you can find it in Tampa Bay this summer.
Whether you prefer being out in the open or near to the mangroves or even trying a few different spots; and whether you’re looking for big fights, lots of quick bites, or something to put on the dinner table tonight, summer fishing in Tampa Bay has something for everyone.
Here are some of the many possible options we can go after in June and July:
Personalized Fishing Charter Experiences
Whether you choose inshore or nearshore, four hours, six hours, or eight hours, Unreel has got the charter that fits into your family’s plans. And that’s just the beginning.
I understand that one of the true magical parts of a family adventure is when everyone can be both relaxed in the setting and engaged in the activity. When it comes to fishing, that means keeping it as a personalized experience—just you, your family, and the captain.
Small-group fishing charters are the way to go. They’re the perfect combination of supportive teamwork and peaceful quiet time. And in order to suit everybody’s personalities as well as different levels of fishing experience, I’m happy to engage with the whole group at once, or one-on-one as needed, or just to let everybody sit back and enjoy the sound of the waves while waiting for a tug on the line.
You don’t want your Tampa Bay fishing trip to be totally pre-planned for you. When you work with me, we’ll all find the fun—and the fish!—together.
