Summary: Was visiting Tampa with family and did a last minute 4h bay trip with Capt Jason. Got us in and worked around us for time of trip. Had my 8 yo daughter and 10 yo son. My daughter spent the day trying to set the live bait free (seriously), while my son and I fished. Lots of action all trip including a big Snook for my son which was amazing. Capt Jason was great with the fishing and the kids. We all had a blast. Next time down will do it again.

Summary: 2 great trips with Captain Buck this week. Bow Fishing charter was great, plenty of shooting opportunities for rays and mullet, loads of fun! Inshore charter was also great. Buck had us on the fish as soon as we started, plenty of trout and ladyfish, then in shore to a Snook honey hole where we had 4 big snook within 10 minutes, great action. Spent the last hour having a go for a shark, no luck even when he blasted out the music from the movie ‘Jaws’, but worth a go! Thanks again Buck, see you next year!
