Florida Professional Charters

Head out to Tampa, Florida and spend a wonderful day on the water together with Florida Professional Charters. Aboard his comfy and well-equipped boat, Captan David Clark will take you to various inshore locations and make sure you have the best time on the water possible. From its reefs to flats to backcountry waters, Tampa Bay offers you first-class angling options with plenty of different species to chase. Pick your day and create lots of memories fishing in Florida!

Your trip will start on a restored 22’ Nautic Star center console with enough room for 4 guests. The boat runs on a 225 HP supercharged Mercury Verado engine and uses Garmin GPS and a fishfinder with side scanning and ClearVu. The boat features a wireless trolling motor with a spot lock and an ice-box to store your fish and drinks. The boat has also got a livewell to keep live bait.

Some of the many species you’ll encounter on your trip include Snook, Tarpon, Shark, Gag Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Flounder, and Sheepshead. You’ll catch your prey by bottom fishing and spinning on light and heavy tackle and you’re allowed to keep your catch. Generally, kids over 8 are welcome to join your trip.

Before you start your trip, you should only bring some snacks. Captain David will take care of all the fishing gear, live bait, drinks, as well as catch cleaning, and his license covers everybody on the boat.

Have a great day on the water and enjoy catching some fish!
