Quality gear, plenty of live bait and an expert guide. Couldn’t ask for more.

A True Clearwater Fishing Charter

A is someone who truly knows how to fish the area. Looking for a deep sea fishing outing? Let’s talk. From having the right equipment, boat, waterway knowledge to knowing what is biting on a summers morn vs. a winters eve and what bait to use in each scenario. Captain Craig Lahr of Skinny Water Charters is a true, ‘ Clearwater Fishing Guide ’.

Best Guide/Charter Boat in Clearwater

“Capt Craig will be my go to guy every time I visit the Tampa and Clearwater area. Knowledgeable and works hard to make sure you have a great trip.

Shared some of his 25 plus years tips and secrets. Showed us a few knots. Used a couple different techniques to make sure we all caught fish. Even cleaned the fish and recommended an inexpensive restaurant to cook them for us.”

About captain jace tyler, how it all started.

Captain Jace is a Marine Corps veteran, fisherman, and true outdoorsman. After serving 5 years in the infantry and another 5 working with the private sectors with to many deployments to count, Capt. Jace decided to trade in his rifle for some fishing gear and now gets to enjoy doing what he loves every day on beautiful Clearwater beach. At 33 years old, he is a Florida native who grew up fishing local waters all around Clearwater. Capt. Jace has a passion for the water and loves sharing the knowledge and experience of local fisheries while enjoying a great day on the water.

ABOUT THE BOAT

You will be riding on a 24' Skeeter bay boat, built in 2022. The boat is powered by a Yamaha outboard 300 HP engine, with room for up to 4 anglers on board at any time for your fishing trip on Clearwater Beach. All trip times and pickup points can be adjusted to fit what best works for you

THE CHARTER EXPERIENCE

If you are looking to keep fish for dinner please discuss it with Capt Jace before booking. As this is mostly a catch and release charter. Capt. Jace can also split the trip between fishing and island hopping at the local intercoastal waterways. Nothing wrong with cooling off on a private island after fishing Clearwater  all morning! No fishing licenses required when fishing with Capt. Jace and he will have a cooler with cold water for every trip. Feel free to bring your own drinks and food onboard, just no bananas and no glass allowed.

Capt. Jace will make sure you have all the live bait and equipment needed for a great day of catching fish. If you’re an artificial angler, all baits and lures will be provided!

Island Hopping/Sunset Trips

On this experience Capt Jace will bring you to many of the private islands and sandbars around the clearwater beach area. Games provided upon request. Bring on the drinks and good times!

"GREAT TRIP WITH CAPTAIN JACE!"

I took my mom and 2 daughters and captain Jace couldn’t have been more accommodating. I wasn’t sure if an evening or night trip would be better so after checking tides Cpt Jace recommended a little of both and we did a 6-10 trip. I really appreciate the flexibility and in the end it couldn’t have been better for our group. Mom got some good daylight and sunset pics, the girls got to see dolphins, and we hit a good variety of fishing spots from mangroves to dock lights. Everyone was happy and now I have to book another vaca so I can take my fiance who wasn't able to make this trip. Highly recommend Cpt Jace, great guy, and great Cpt.

EXCELLENT TRIP!

Took an afternoon trip with JT as that’s only what our schedule allowed. He put us on fish right away and kept us on them all afternoon! Super friendly and knowledgeable throughout the entire day answering any and all questions we had about all things fishing and general Clearwater/Dunedin things.

FANTASTIC OCTOBER FISHING!

Captain Jace put us onto fish immediately! The Snook bite was on in Clearwater. I’ve worked with hunting and fishing guides for 30 years and Captain Jace is professional, effective, safe and super fun to fish with. He made everything very easy and was extremely responsive. He is now my go-to guide on the Florida West Coast. You cannot go wrong with Captain Jace!! He’s one of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure to fish with!!

Strike Zone Charters

Clearwater Beach Municipal Marina

25 Causeway Blvd. Slip #37

No online bookings. To book your next trip please call 727-585-8544

Serving Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, Tampa, St Petersburg, and Orlando Florida. The charter fishing boat Strike Zone is conveniently located in west central FL. Clearwater Beach is on the west coast of Florida. The Gulf of Mexico is off west Florida and is well known for its calm sea conditions and excellent year round shallow and deep sea fishing. Clearwater, Fl, located just west of Tampa, Florida, and is directly on the Gulf of Mexico. Depending on the fishing season, you will catch all sorts of different species of fish while fishing inshore or offshore of Clearwater, Florida aboard my charter fishing boat Strike Zone.

The 'Strike Zone' is a very versatile boat that is capable of fishing shallow inshore, coastal and offshore waters. The 'Strike Zone' is 27 feet long and is powered with twin 225 HP Evinrude outboards. The boat is fast and is quick to get to the fishing areas. The large console contains a head (toilet), making it convenient for women while on board.

Clearwater Beach Florida offers not only great saltwater sport fishing charters but is home to many other interesting and fun activities for you to enjoy in the Tampa Bay area .

The ‘Strike Zone’ can accommodate from 1 to 4 fishermen. Rates are based on the number of anglers on the trip. Cash, travelers checks or personal check is the preferred method of payment. To keep rates low, I do not accept credit cards

INSHORE fishing (bay or flats) is done in the shallow waters of Clearwater Bay and St. Joseph Sound. Light tackle and live bait is the preferred approach to angling in these waters.

Inshore fishing is always in protected areas where the water is typically very calm and seasickness is never a problem. Flats fishing is done mostly in spring, summer and fall. Winter fishing involves more structure and pot hole type fishing.

Travel time is minimal - sometimes fishing within minutes of leaving the marina.

COASTAL fishing is done from the shallows of the beach out to several miles into the Gulf of Mexico. The coastal range is from Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, Clearwater Beach, Belleair Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Redington Beach and Maderia Beach.

Fish from both the inshore and offshore water frequent this zone. Fishing is centered around sand bars, potholes and rock structures.

Since the marina is close to Clearwater Pass, the time is minimal in reaching the coastal areas.

OFFSHORE fishing extends west from the coastal area into the Gulf of Mexico. Natural and artificial reefs in this zone provide most of the angling opportunities. Many people call this deep sea fishing.

From flats fishing to deep sea fishing, the 'Strike Zone' and Captain Gary can get you there.

We have never been in the area so I would appreciate any help! This is what our group is looking for.

Great beach area with convenient parking, beach patio restaurant, changerooms and beach shops. We do have a couple people with mobility issues so we would hope that everything would be sort of close together.

Lastly, the best way to get from the beach to Amalie Arena with nearby parking.

Thank-you for all of you that can help us out.

3 replies to this topic

Except unless you are there very early, the "convenient parking" isn't going to work.

If you want "beach shops" in Madeira, you have the Johns Pass Village. You can pay to park there, but the beach is across the street.

CB will have the restaurants with the toes in the sand, BUT, our weather is absolutely gorgeous right now, so, you need to be in the parking lot by 8am or you will not find a spot. The parking lot is also right there with restrooms, Frenchy’s and Palm Pavilion.
