No two fishing trips are the same because no two groups are the same. Some families are looking to catch their first redfish and make lifelong memories together, while other anglers want to sight fish, throw artificials, and chase the biggest fish we can find. Select the experience that best matches the groups goals.
I'll customize the trip to give your group the best possible day on the water.
Designed for families, first-time saltwater anglers, and anyone looking for a fun day on the water. These trips focus on creating lifelong memories while giving everyone the opportunity to catch fish, learn new skills, and enjoy Florida's beautiful Gulf Coast. Whether it's your first redfish or your child's first fishing trip, I'll customize the trip to give your group the best opportunity possible based on the conditions that day.
Our signature charter is designed for anglers who enjoy actively casting and hunting quality fish in shallow water. We'll target redfish, snook and gator trout using premium light tackle. Every trip is customized to give you the best opportunity possible at memorable fish and unforgettable moments on the water. If you enjoy making accurate casts, and challenging yourself, this is the Tightlines experience you'll remember long after the trip is over.

I love being on the water with friends, new and old! Florida has it all and then some! As a full-time inshore fishing guide based in Tarpon Springs, my goal is simple — show you a fun, productive, and memorable day on the water. Come see why I love being on the water 300+ days a year in this sportsman’s paradise.

OUR HOME WATERS
Protected grass flats, turtle grass beds, spoil islands, and hidden backwaters make this one of the Gulf Coast's most diverse and productive inshore fisheries.

Florida's shallow saltwater flats are one of the best places in the Gulf to sight fish redfish, snook and trout.
Crystal-clear water, healthy grass flats, mangrove shorelines, and oyster bars let us spot fish before making the cast, creating an exciting and unforgettable private inshore fishing charter experience.

THE NORTHERN GROUNDS
Sand flats, oyster bars, mangrove creeks, and the waters surrounding Anclote Key create outstanding habitat for redfish, snook, trout, and seasonal tarpon.
Purpose built here on the Gulf Coast by T&B Boatworks, specifically for our flats and mangrove shorelines. The 19' Florida Fisher was built with one thing in mind, finding big fish in shallow water! Its shallow draft lets us quietly reach grass flats, mangrove shorelines and oyster bars that many larger boats simply can't fish. Comfortable for four anglers to sight cast big redfish, snook and tarpon as they cruise the mangrove edges and flats.
ANCLOTE RIVER PARK
1119 Baillies Bluff Road Holiday, Florida 34691
Located at the mouth of the Anclote River, giving us immediate access to the productive grass flats, mangrove shorelines, and open Gulf waters around Tarpon Springs and Anclote Key. Launching from Anclote River Park means we spend less time idling through long no-wake zones and more time fishing. It also gives us quick access to the areas where we target redfish, snook, trout, and seasonal tarpon. It also gives you plenty of safe and secure parking and clean bathrooms. Every minute saved running to the fishing grounds is another minute spent hunting trophy fish.
