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.

Terry JohnsonHad a great time fishing with Captain Gary and Reel Shallow Fishn Charters. If you’re looking for an inshore fishing charter in Hernando County or Hernando Beach, I highly recommend Captain Gary. He knows the local waters and put us on some great fish!

Sabrina BedocsHe has the best type of boat to get through these shallow hernando waters. My family and friends go out with him on an almost monthly basis. Its always a great time and whether we go for fish or scallops we never go home empty handed.

deb tI’m a commercial Tuna fisherman from New England and when I’m down south this is who I choose to spend my time fishing with. I’ve chartered with Capt. Gary at Real Shallow fishing many times over the last 12 years and he never disappoints. Always puts us on some fish . Makes you feel right at home.
