Bag'Em Tampa Bay Fishing Charters — Local services in Oldsmar

Didn’t know what to give our nephew (who is moving-up to 10th grade) & our daughter (who is moving-up to 7th grade). Then we thought, how about an Adventure and a Lifetime Memory? Who better than Captain Bucky to plan a Day on the water of beautiful Tampa Bay? From his sparkling white boat (that can really move & maneuver) to his attentive preparation, timeliness, & patience to make sure each of us had been well equipped to make our individual “catch of the day,” Captain Bucky ensured each of us (from child to adult alike) would go home with a unique story to tell! His knowledge of fishing and handling each type of fish safely for fish & fisher alike, as well as his determination to get us to the right spots to catch specific types of fish, was stellar! And when dark storm clouds began quickly looming in, Captain Bucky was sure to zip us off to safety back to dock without delay. He even provided an insert for our graduation cards for the kids to announce this great First-Time Experience! We definitely made some Fantastic catch & releases that day, enjoyed a perfect morning, beautiful FL scenery, a wonderful guide & superb boat ride… Captain Bucky did not disappoint! Would definitely recommend Bag'Em Tampa Bay Fishing Charters for an educational, environmentally conscious & fun experience with lifetime memories made! Thank You So Much...

If you're looking for a Tampa Bay Fishing Charter, we had an absolutely amazing time with Bag'Em Bay Fishing Charters. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Bucky treated us like old friends. I took my 4-year-old and 7-year-old, and it’s not easy to keep both kids happy at once—but Bucky pulled it off perfectly! He was patient, knowledgeable, and funny, which kept them giggling and excited the whole trip.

Bucky knew exactly where to find the fish and made sure the kids got plenty of bites. Watching their faces light up every time they reeled in a catch was priceless! He took the time to teach them a few basics—like baiting hooks and proper casting—without making anything feel rushed or complicated.

I can’t say enough about how comfortable he made the whole experience. He was great about safety, too, so I could relax and just enjoy watching my kids fall in love with fishing. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly charter that actually delivers on the promise of catching fish, Bag'Em Fishing Charters is the way to go. We’re already planning our next trip, and my kids can’t wait to see “Captain...

In Shore Slam! My wife and I planned a last-minute trip, and I wanted to find a guide who could take me out to do a little in-shore fishing. Called Captain Bucky, left a message and he got back to me within 20 minutes. He informed me he had been guiding for 5 years on the east side of FL, but had recently relocated to Tampa. In speaking with Bucky, I could tell he knew what he was talking about, but more importantly, was just a really nice guy. He let me know he had a few places in mind, but wanted to try some new spots, too, which I was up for. The day arrived, I met him at the boat ramp, and we went for a run across the water to a mangrove point. We got there and immediately started catching fish on plugs. It was a blast! We ended up moving around, trying a few places throughout the day and ended up catching a bunch of snook, speckled trout and a redfish. It was an awesome day- Bucky was a ton of fun, just like going out with one of your fishing buddies back home. Next time I'm back in Tampa, I'll be...
