About Your Trip

Welcome to Clearwater, Florida—the perfect place for a fishing adventure! Join Captain Alex onboard his 22' Pathfinder bay boat and get ready to experience some of the best fishing the area has to offer.

As you set out on the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico, you'll be surrounded by breathtaking views and the sound of waves gently lapping against the boat. Keep an eye out for dolphins and manatees, as they are often spotted in these waters.

With Captain Alex's expert guidance, you'll be fishing for a variety of gamefish species, including Gag Grouper, Hogfish, Jack Crevalle, Sheepshead, and Mangrove Snapper. These gamefish are known for their fighting spirit and delicious flavor, making them a thrill to catch and a treat to eat!

As you cast your line, you'll feel the excitement of the hunt and the rush of anticipation as you wait for a bite. When you finally feel that tug on the line, it's time to land in your catch and enjoy the thrill of the fight. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-time fisherman, Captain Alex will make sure you have a memorable and enjoyable experience.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
