Gone Fishing Charters

"I have been going to Florida for more than ten years now and the last three we have been staying over in the Palm Harbor Area. It is a lovely place. The last two years I have hooked up with Cpt. Stewart Ames. What a great guy, nothing is too much trouble and as far as the fishing is concerned. He tries his hardest to get you hooked up wether it be inshore fishing or near shore fishing on one of the local reefs. I really enjoy both, but I find the reef fishing really exiting because you never know what you will catch. It could be a spanish mackeral or a jewfish up to 200 lbs. Gone Fishing Charters is one of the best and I will continue fishing with them as long as the jumbo jets keep flying over the pond." -Darren White

You will be fishing in a state of the art, 2005, custom-built, 24 foot Sheaffer boat. Made locally in Tampa, Florida, this boat is designed specifically to fish the shallow, inshore waters of the Tampa area. Your fishing guide, Captain Stewart Ames, is US Coast Guard licensed and fully insured and has 19 years of light tackle fishing experience in Northern Pinellas County. It is this experience that guarantees that you’ll be fishing where the fish are at any given time of the year. Your fishing charter includes tackle, bait, fishing license, ice, water, and photos of your fishing experience. Your catch will be cleaned, bagged and iced.

Maximum capacity is 6 anglers.

Great Sight Fishing Capability

With a second set of controls up in the tower, sight fishing ability is greatly enhanced. The net effect is more time spent fishing where the fish are. The tower also increases the chances at getting a good cast at a roving Cobia, Shark or Tarpon that otherwise might not be seen.

Sun Protection

During the heat of summer, the tower sun shade can make your fishing experience that much more enjoyable. An additional front sun shade can be attached if requested.

Tackle

The highest quality tackle is provided to insure that when a fish is hooked, chances are maximized to land it.
