Capt Phil launches from many boat ramps from Punta Gorda to Venice. Depending on your location and where the fish are biting, and what you would like to target will depend on where we meet. I am still running trips out of Clearwater, but those are limited to 6hr and 8hr trips.
Please send me a text or email for the quickest response! Due to the nature of my business, my desire to give my clients the best experience possible, and the number of spam calls I get per day (over 15) answering my phone many times is not an option. I’m happy to schedule a call with you, but please text or email for a prompt response.

A word from Capt. Phil
As a young boy, all I ever wanted to do is fish. It didn’t matter if it was freshwater, saltwater, bass or mackerel, the tug was my drug. I would always have a rod with me ready to fish any water I could find. Choosing to do this as a full time guide has proven to be the most rewarding choices I have ever made. Giving the experience of fishing to enthusiasts, amateurs and families alike is my driving factor! I sincerely hope I can share my passion for fishing with you!!
