It is also a great way to relax and create memories for a lifetime. With Capt. Woody, you never know what you might catch. You begin along our beautiful mangrove shoreline, targeting our world famous snook, whose drag screaming runs and jumps will ignite your heart rate. Or perhaps you could tie into a hard pulling redfish or beautiful spotted sea trout; all three fish represent our most readily available game fish. With more than 200 species of fish in Tampa Bay, we sometimes change it up and go after something different like mackerel, sharks, sheepshead, snapper, grouper, or kingfish.
