THE GUIDE

Captain Jason Dozier and Fish N FL

Captain Jason Dozier, a Florida native who grew up fishing the Intracoastal, leads the charters and applies local experience to locate and land the region’s inshore sharks.

THE TARGETS

The Sharks — species and behavior

The charters focus on species commonly found in Tampa Bay’s inshore waters, including hammerhead, bull, blacktip, bonnethead and Atlantic sharpnose sharks; while abundant and fierce predators of fish, most inshore sharks are not typically dangerous to humans.

THE SEASON

Summer runs and peak effort

Fishin’ Fl. operates exciting shark-fishing charters in the summer months—July through September—when shark activity in Tampa Bay’s inshore waters is especially high.

These charters move from briefing and transit into Tampa Bay’s inshore waters where anglers work baits and tackle supplied by the operator; trips are offered in multiple lengths—from short excursions to full-day outings—so the pace can be tailored to how much time you want on the water pursuing hard-fighting sharks.
