Reel Shallow Fishn Charters
Reel Shallow Fishn Charters offers private inshore and shallow-water fishing trips along Florida’s Gulf Coast, with outings launching from Bayport and nearby Nature Coast communities. Guided by Captain Gary Strickland, the charter takes anglers into productive local waters around Spring Hill, Weeki Wachee, Hernando Beach, and Brooksville.
Trips are designed for anglers of all skill levels and typically target species such as redfish, snook, trout, cobia, and other Gulf Coast fish. The charter also offers seasonal scalloping excursions, allowing guests to snorkel in clear coastal waters and harvest scallops from seagrass beds.
All fishing equipment, bait, and licenses are provided, making it easy for visitors and families to enjoy a day on the water exploring Florida’s Adventure Coast.

Appliance Rx SolutionsI’ve been out with Captain Gary more times than I can count and there’s a reason I keep using him. Dude knows his shit! 😂 Super knowledgeable, knows the water like the back of his hand, and always does everything he can to put us on fish. Even on the days when the fish don’t want to cooperate, somehow we still manage to put fish in the boat. But honestly, catching fish is only half of it. I’ve never had a bad time going out with Gary. Always a good time, always plenty of laughs, and never a dull moment. I’ve used him plenty of times and I’ll keep using him. If you’re looking for a captain that knows what he’s doing and is actually fun to spend a day on the water with, this is your guy 🎣💪🏼

Freddy Jara-AlmonteGary is a great captain. Safety is always his first priority and second is to make sure that his customers enjoy their day. I would definitely go back and use his charter. My family loved it.
