BigAngler Fishing Charters

We have some huge news!!
So there's alot of things that led us to this point, some know but most don't... a few months ago we acquired another buisness in the marina allowing us to run charters out of two different slips in the Marina! We were on the hunt for the perfect all around inshore boat that we could fish, island hop, bar hop and do shelling trips on. We went to look at and test run a few used boats before we realized that if we were going to put in a bunch of time, money and effort into building a boat that someone else used and abused why not just have a brand new boat built to our standards. For the first time we spec'd out a brand new boat, this thing is going to be sick! It will be the only boat running inshore charters out of Clearwater marina which will also be sick! This boat will fish 6 comfortably and have some awesome features that we will keep yall posted on.

Huge shoutout to Calcutta Boats Inc. for making this process so easy, we cannot wait to add this thing to the fleet!

Weather was absolutely perfect all day, it was glass calm andw we had just enough breeze to keep us somewhat straight on anchor. And it's finally cooling down! We started the trip in hoodies...

What a day! The other day Aaron called me and told me to go stock up on fish so I can send some up and I had been wanting to take Brady out because buddy turns 16 on Wednesday so we got the crew together and whacked the fish! I don't really know where to start but I started the day with 1 plan and somehow everything worked out exactly how I wanted if not way better. We made a run and got our red snapper limit fairly quick and searched around for big gags which took me a while to find but we ended up with a few nice ones. we also caught a jumbo porgy, some triggerfish and a nice yellowtail out deeper. We then made the run in where I had marked something on the ride out that looked promising and had our limit of red grouper within 10 minutes which hasn't happened for me in a little while... Overall it was a Fu($/:@ Epic day for the Anglers!

Weather started off a little rough but it calmed down nicely by the end of the trip for the ride in!

Today we had a group of friends/family that came to town for the game tomorrow and they were a really fun group to have on the boat! We went on a mission for a shallow water gag grouper and finally got one! The same dude also caught a rock and a starfish which I normally don't see lol. We caught a ton of short red grouper, a handful of mangrove snapper, a really nice flounder, a few hogfish and a bunch of grunts! Overall it was another great day for the anglers and a nice variety of fish!

Weather wasn't the nicest and then it was beautiful and then It was terrible... We had every Florida season in a trip today. It wouldn't have been too bad had we not gotten caught in a storm for the last 10 miles.

Today we had the Midwest machine gun boys that were down for a bachelor party and we made it one they will never forget! We started the day going to an area I had never fished and it didn't really pay off the way I had thought, we lost quite a few fish but the bite never really seemed to fire off. We picked away at red grouper and lanes the entire trip and put together a nice couple meals and blew through more ammo than Ive seen in quite some time. We had a blast fishing with this group and definitely can't wait to have them back in town as this trip was right up my ally! Overall it was another great day for the Anglers!

Weather was perfect! I was anticipating waking up to storms all around because of my weather apps but they blew it. Waves were almost non existent and we had a little breeze to keep us from melting.

Today I had mercer(Aarons buddy), his dad and their girls! My plan was to leave a little early And go find a gag on this 4 hour but instead we left a little late and found some hogfish instead. Although the first fish that came in the boat was a quarter inch short gag we never seen another one the rest of the trip... We caught a ton of short red grouper, a few short hog fish, a ton of grunts that we threw back and only kept what we needed for a nice lunch for these guys! Overall it was another great day for the Anglers and it felt nice to get back out there!

Hope everyone has a fun Labor Day today! Remember to be safe. This "holiday" is for us workers, so don't do anything that will make you not show up to work tomorrow😂

Weather was really nice today! There were a few storms out there but none of the affected us. Waves were around a foot and it was definitely warm out there.

Today we took a group of boys out that have been friends since kindergarten! These boys were a wild bunch, doob and I had a lot of fun and laughs dealing with them today. We decided to stay close and go for some lunch and then a variety of fish. We caught lunch fairly quickly and then trolled around the area hoping for a gag that we never found but we did end up with a few lizard fish that we can use for bait on our next long trip. I can tell that this is a group of friends that will last a life time and these kids will be fishing with us for many years to come! Overall it was another great day for the Anglers!

Weather was absolutely gorgeous today! I couldn't have asked for a better day, enough wind and "waves" to have a good anchor heading the whole trip and it was not brutally hot but just warm enough!

I don't even know where to start this off... If you follow along in these stories y'all know how honest I am. Today pi**ed me off. I don't understand how we ended up with what we did with the day we had today. If it wasnt for Captain Layne Skinner I probably would've called it a day at 1 o'clock so huge shout-out to that guy!! Up until 2pm I didn't have more than a couple nice mangroves And a 20 1/2 inch red grouper and I parked on some spots I should've smoked the fish on, we caught plenty of fish just nothing of size. At 1 point we had 3 center councils in a group pull up and park right next to us within throwing distance 60 something miles out in the middle of b.f.e after driving around for 30 mins looking for a spot. Although I wanted to give up and start over fresh tomorrow, persistence prevailed and we ended up in 2 hours catching our limit of red snappers, a few nice red groupers and a couple more mangroves. I don't have to many pictures from today because when it finally happened, it happened quick. We also lost countless really nice fish. Overall it was an awesome day for the Anglers and a kick in the nuts with a hug after for me🙂

Weather was not as nice as it was supposed to be and we were surrounded by storms the whole trip but some how I picked all the right moves to stay out of them!

Today we had a group that was down for a bachelor trip and these guys were really fun to get out! There was endless bullying going on on this trip lol. My plan today was to catch at least 1 gag which in hindsight we did but it wasn't a keeper but what we did catch is a bunch of hogfish, 2 of which being nice keepers! We also caught a TON of short red grouper and a bunch of grunts. Overall it was another great day for the Anglers and it was nice to get back on the water!

Little bit of tlc on the Angler now that things are slowing down a bit.
Note to all boat owners, Dont buy perko offset windshield adjusters.... they suck
