Capt. Oliver O’Riordan has fished Tampa Bay for 30 years — long enough to build the biggest charter reputation in Tampa and a registered trademark to go with it. He holds USCG license #1188182, and every trip runs on his boat, with his gear, at his standard.
This is inshore and nearshore fishing the way it should be: reading tides, working mangrove shorelines and grass flats, and putting first-timers and seasoned anglers alike on snook, redfish, tarpon and trout — then cleaning your catch at the dock.

“Capt. Oliver put my two boys on their first snook within the hour. He cleaned our catch at the dock and had us back to our hotel downtown by lunch. Worth every penny.”
★★★★★
“We were staying in Apollo Beach and he picked us up right at Lands End Marina. Redfish after redfish — the man knows every mangrove pocket in this bay.”
★★★★★
