Tampa
Bay Area Fishing Guide, Capt. Clay Eavenson is a
FULL-TIME
inshore fishing guide and specializes in Light
Tackle, Inshore, Fishing Charters for Snook, Redfish,
Trout, Tarpon,
and More! He guides on the inshore waters of Tampa Bay, Clearwater,
Tarpon Springs, St. Petersburg, and everywhere in between.

What if it Looks Like Capt.
Clay is Already Booked?
CALL HIM ANYWAY!
Sometimes you might mistake a "Partially booked day" as
being fully booked on his calendar. When days are partially
booked that means that there is time to book another fishing
charter that day! If the day is actually fully booked,
CALL HIM ANYWAY! He has a close knit network of 4
other fishing guides that he personally vouches for. He has
fished with all of them on several occasions and can vouch
for their personalities, work ethic, and ability to put you
on fish. Three of them run Ranger Boats and 1 of them runs
one of the exact same boats as Capt. Clay.
Tampa Bay Area Fishing
Tampa Bay, Tarpon Springs, Clearwater,
and St. Petersburg are some of the most fertile, inshore fishing
grounds in all of Florida. Beaches, mangrove shorelines, brackish
creeks and rivers, and expansive grass flats are the settings for
our inshore fishing charters. Snook, redfish, trout, and tarpon are
our main targets but seasonally we also target grouper, sheephead,
cobia, and more.
All of this great fishing is done
using only top shelf fishing gear and the finest boats. Capt. Clay
is a great teacher, when approached for tips but he doesn't push
anything on his clients. He runs his charters with his client's
interests in mind. Whether you say you want a hard core fishing
charter or just a fun "catch anything" fishing trip, Capt. Clay
tailors the excursion to your desire. Capt. Clay has chartered other
professional fishermen, families with children as young as three
years old, and corporate groups of 30+ anglers.
Capt. Clay can accommodate anglers of
all skill levels and groups of any size; all the while at a first
class level of service.

Finding Silver in the Shade
5-8-2008

I've got some upcoming tarpon
fishing charters in St. Petersburg and I've been so busy
catching redfish, snook and trout in Tarpon Springs that I
haven't had a chance to try for tarpon yet. So, yesterday I
had a rare day off and I called my good friend Jody to see
if he wanted to go tarpon fishing. He said he was game...
Click
here for full report...

The trout and
redfish bite has been really good for the last couple of
months (Mar/April) and it is still hot right now. Spanish Mackerel are invading the flats
chasing the bait that is now arriving. Several Cobia have been
caught already! Snook are just
starting to eat now that the water temps are better than 70
degrees most days.
Now that spring is
here,
the bite is getting better and better with each passing
day. The trout, redfish,
snook, and mackerel fishing should heat up as the water temps
continue to
rise and bait gets thicker and thicker on the flats.

May
and June '08...
Tarpon tarpon tarpon!
Starting the fist week in May, we will begin dedicated Tampa
Bay tarpon fishing charters. We may catch them now, as we
are already seeing them, but book your
dedicated tarpon fishing charter for May-August right now!
Snook will be on the beach and they'll be eating like gangbusters to
fuel up for their summer spawn.
June
and July '08...
The snook will be
on the beaches and in the passes during these
months and it will be primetime slob snook catching time.
Tarpon will steal
the show these months as we chase them from the Skyway in Tampa Bay
to World Famous Boca Grande. There's nothing like seeing a
150lb fish, attached to your line, leaping from the water.

Corporate and Group Fishing Charters Welcome!
Through Capt. Clay's network of skilled, licensed, and insured
guides he can organize the perfect Tampa, Clearwater, Tarpon
Springs, or Ruskin corporate fishing charter. He and his
affiliated guides can take 1-100+ anglers on a charter and even
organize a corporate fishing tournament; complete with awards
ceremony, lunch or dinner, and photos of your corporate outing! Call
today to inquire about this unique Tampa Bay area fishing charter!
Inshore Fishing Charters
Whether you're new to inshore,
saltwater, fishing or you have many years worth of salt
buildup in your veins, we can tailor a charter just for you.
You can chase snook on the beaches in Clearwater
in the summertime or you could choose Tarpon in
Tampa Bay or World Famous Boca Grande
Pass that time of year. You can stalk redfish
schools in the spring and fall near St. Petersburg or
you could opt for sight fishing snook in Tarpon
Springs. You can catch massive quantities of trout
in New Port Richey in the winter or you could choose
to catch some tasty, cold weather, grouper in
Tampa Bay. Wait! What about Kingfish in the
Spring and Fall? Yep, we do that too!
If those decisions aren't hard enough
to make, you can then decide whether or not you want to choose one
of those trips and fish with live bait or maybe you
could choose to stalk your prey with artificial lures.
Then... which boat would you like to take? The Ranger Ghost
for real skinny water expeditions? Or, the Ranger 2200 Bay
boat for an all-purpose, roomy, comfortable, fishing charter?
We can specialize any trip for any
size group. Whether you have a corporate outing planned in
Tampa or you're visiting a few friends in Tarpon
Springs, we can accommodate any size group.
Snook, redfish, trout, tarpon,
grouper, kingfish... big group, small group, by yourself...
Artificial lures or live bait... big boat, small boat... We can make
any combination of these happen! |
