WHERE & HOW TO FISH

FISHING FROM PIER 60

Fishing from the pier is the simplest and most economical way to fish in Clearwater. For around $20 the pier rents all the equipment you will need and provides you with bait. There are over 15 species of fish that can be caught from the pier.

HEAD BOATS AND PARTY BOATS

If you are looking to fish offshore and don’t know where to start or are looking for a more economical option than a private charter, head boats are a great option. Clearwater’s head boats take

daily trips offshore carrying a large group of visitors. The boats provide you with equipment and bait, and their captains can help even the most novice angler. This is a great way to take the entire family on an offshore fishing trip.

PRIVATE CHARTERS

Whether you are looking to fish with an experienced captain in the bay or offshore, you will find what you are looking for among the large fleet of private charter vessels in Clearwater. Private charters provide an experience tailored to your fishing goals, and you benefit from experienced knowledgeable captains and their fishing gear.
