Start your morning on the water with Captain Gary and Reel Shallow Fishn Charters! This private half-day inshore fishing trip is a great way to get out early, chase some hard-fighting fish and experience the Nature Coast at its best.
We fish the shallow flats, grass lines, rocky points, creeks and coastal waters around Spring Hill, Hernando Beach, Weeki Wachee and the surrounding Hernando County area. Depending on the season, tides and conditions, we may target redfish, snook, speckled trout and other inshore species.
Mornings can be especially productive, and we’ll adjust the plan based on the tides, weather and what the fish are doing that day. Live bait is often the ticket, but we’ll use whatever is working best to put fish in the boat.
Whether you’re an experienced angler chasing your next big inshore fish or bringing the family out for a fun day on the water, I’ll do everything I can to make it a trip you’ll remember. I’ve been fishing these waters for over 10 years, and every day on the water brings something a little different.
Private trips, all ages and experience levels welcome. Your trip includes your fishing license, bait, tackle and fish cleaning. Bayport is one of our primary launch areas, with the exact fishing location based on weather, tides and current conditions.
Grab your sunglasses, bring your favorite fishing buddy and let’s go find some fish!

Fishing - Inshore
Micro-Draft Skiff • 22' Micro Draft Skiff (Flats Boat)
Ready to spend a little more time chasing fish? Our 6-hour private inshore fishing charter gives you extra time on the water to explore more, follow the bite and make the most of your day with Captain Gary.
We fish the shallow flats, grass lines, rocky points, creeks and coastal waters throughout Hernando County, including the areas around Spring Hill, Hernando Beach, Weeki Wachee and the surrounding Nature Coast. Depending on the season, tides and conditions, we may target redfish, snook, speckled trout and other inshore species.
The extra time gives us more flexibility to adjust throughout the trip. If the bite changes, the tide moves or we find an area holding fish, we have more time to work it. We can also cover more water and fish different types of structure instead of having to rush from one spot to the next.
I’ve been guiding for over 13 years and fishing these waters since I was a kid, so I know how much conditions can change from one day to the next. Live bait is often a big part of the game, but we’ll use whatever the fish are responding to.
Whether you’re an experienced angler looking for a longer day on the water or a family wanting a bigger Nature Coast adventure, this trip gives you plenty of time to relax, fish and enjoy the day without feeling rushed.
Private trips, all ages and experience levels welcome. Your trip includes your fishing license, bait, tackle and fish cleaning. Bayport is one of our primary launch areas, with the exact fishing location based on weather, tides and current conditions.
More time. More water. More opportunities to find the bite. Let’s go fishing!
