We decided on a last-minute fishing trip. Choose Tampa Florida Fishing because they had an online booking and we were doing this last-minute late at night. We arrived, the Captain was waiting and did a great job of putting us on the fish. Caught many good fish and was very knowledgeable about the local area and offered up several suggestions. Highly suggest, will use them on the next trip to Tampa!
