Tampa Bay Area Fishing Charters With Captain Clay Eavenson
Fishing Report
Tampa Bay Area Fishing Guide, Capt. Clay Eavenson is a FULL-TIME inshore fishing guide and specializes in Light Tackle, Inshore, Fishing Charters for Snook, Redfish, Trout, Tarpon, and More! He guides on the inshore waters of Tampa Bay, Clearwater, Tarpon Springs, St. Petersburg, and everywhere in between.
Tampa Bay, Tarpon Springs, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg are some of the most fertile, inshore fishing grounds in all of Florida. Beaches, mangrove shorelines, brackish creeks and rivers, and expansive grass flats are the settings for our inshore fishing charters. Snook, redfish, trout, and tarpon are our main targets but seasonally we also target grouper, sheephead, cobia, and more.

Featured Testimonial
Snook Season is Upon us! And it right on time! Snook are making there way back from the beach and they are around spoil islands, oyster bars, on the flats, and around creek mouths. They'll be gorging themselves over the next couple of months to prepare for their quasi-wintertime hibernation.
Redfish are still biting good and during stretches of good weather, the fish have been schooling up. 40-50 fish days are not out of the question when the conditions are right.
Dec. '08 and Jan. '09... This is quite possibly the best time of the year to fish for redfish and the beginning of the best time of the year to fish for trout. Fishing charters during this time of year in the Tampa Bay and Tarpon Springs areas get a shot at huge numbers of redfish as well as a chance to take home a cooler full of trout for diner.
Trout season is open from Tarpon Springs north Nov./Dec. and closed south of Tarpon Springs (including Tampa Bay). Trout season is closed during Jan. from Tarpon Springs north but open in the south region from Tarpon Springs south (including Tampa Bay).
Tampa Fishing Charter Tips
Group and Corporate Fishing Charters
-Don't wear shoes that you don't want getting wet. If you do, you might want to take them off when you get on the boat. Capt. Clay suggests wearing sandals.
-Pack light. Bring only what is necessary. You'll be much more comfortable in an uncluttered boat. Hat, food, drinks, sunscreen, sunglasses... that's about all you need. Everything else is provided by Capt. Clay.
-Leave the house or hotel earlier than you think you need to. You don't want to miss the best bite of the day because you got stuck in traffic on the way to your fishing charter.
-Be excited! Your guide, Capt. Clay, loves fishing and he's excited about every trip. Also, keep in mind that your guide wants you to catch a ton of fish; at least 10 times more than you do. So, no matter what he does (weird bait, fishing a spot that doesn't make sense, or chanting a fish call) he's doing it with your "fish catching" in mind.
