One of Tampa Bays Most Consistent Captains!

Captain George has been fishing in the Tampa Bay area for over 40 years and has been professionally guiding the area for over 25 years. He has won many of the local tournaments and loves sharing his fishing knowledge and techniques with anyone that steps on his boat. From novice to professional angler, women, children and men all are welcome. Capt. George will make you feel as if you have been fishing buddies for years, so you can feel right at home. He has been featured on national fishing shows, has co-hosted fishing shows and podcasts, along with being featured in multiple local beacons and writing for Coastal Angler and Onshore-Offshore magazines, which you could possibly end up in or on the cover, if you would like that. He takes pride in his fishing trips to make sure you have the best time possible while on your fishing trip. Please check out all his 5-star Google reviews of past clients to get an understanding of how he takes care of his clients. Since he loves the inshore/nearshore fishing you will usually be fishing within 5-15 minutes of leaving the dock, which equals more fishing time for you. You will fish for a variety of fish including snook, redfish, trout, mangrove snapper, mackerel, sheepshead and many more depending on the time of year. He has never had a fishless trip in 25 years, so you are in good hands. So come on out and let’s fish for the day and make memories that last a lifetime.

"Captain George Hastick is an awesome guide, he took 2 of my sons, my son in law and I, my 14 year old son is in a wheelchair and Captain made his day great. Captain George worked hard and put us on fish. His experience shows in guiding. Thank you Captain George for a great fishing trip."

"Has a blast with Capt George. He was right on time and made sure he was teaching us while we worked. Was flexible and after we noticed a huge fin targeted tarpon and landed one… or close enough. Caught snook snapper ladyfish catfish and trout. My son is already asking for this again next year for his birthday."

"Capt. George will put you on the fish! I wanted to target Snook as I’ve caught just about every inshore species besides them! Never had any luck. Can’t say that after stepping off his boat! After 12 or so snook we lost count! We drug fish out of every hole in the mangroves Capt. George pulled up to! There wasn’t a single boat around us catching anything, even the ones pulling into spots we’d just left. But we sure were sure catching them! He knew right where they’d be. When the bite turned off he knew right where they went and we were on them again! Highly recommend him, very knowledgeable, full of great tips and tricks to put more fish in the boat."

"Captain George was amazing. My brother and I have never been on a guided fishing trip together before, so this was our first. Captain George put us snook and stayed on them. He knows what his clients were looking for, and he knows these waterways. Definitely coming back!"

"Been out with Capt. George quite a few times and every time we go out we end up with fish. Not only does Capt. George put you on fish he also makes great conversation with everyone on the boat. Capt. George always ensures a good time and will only be booking with him in the future."
