Fish Slapped Charters in Clearwater is guided by Captain Jeremy Keehl, an accomplished angler with over 25 years of professional guiding experience. Capt. Jeremy began his career navigating the lakes of Minnesota and Canada before bringing his talents to Florida's Gulf Coast, where he now specializes in the highly productive waters stretching from Tampa Bay to Tarpon Springs. Guests step aboard a fully rigged 24-foot Triton bay boat built to handle both shallow grassy flats and choppy nearshore waters. The vessel is equipped with high-end Daiwa rods and reels, advanced fish-finding electronics, a dual live-well system to keep bait fresh, and plenty of cooler space for ice and drinks.
The charter delivers an array of custom-tailored trips focusing on both inshore sportfishing and nearshore meat-runs to fill the freezer. Anglers on the grass flats frequently target prized local species like snook, redfish, and spotted seatrout, while nearshore bottom-fishing trips focus on reeling in delicious hogfish, mangrove snapper, flounder, and grunts. For thrill-seekers, Captain Jeremy runs dedicated shark fishing excursions and seasonal heavy-tackle tarpon hunts from May through August. The company also offers unique combination trips during the summer months, allowing families to mix traditional inshore fishing with scallop harvesting in neighboring coastal waters.
Operating as a private, all-inclusive experience, Fish Slapped Charters departs from convenient boat ramps and docks around the Clearwater Beach area, providing quick access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the open Gulf. Every booking covers all necessary state-issued commercial fishing licenses, top-quality live or artificial bait, tackle, and ice. The boat accommodates up to four passengers comfortably, making it an excellent option for families, novice anglers, and seasoned pros alike. At the end of every excursion, Captain Jeremy provides complimentary fish cleaning and filleting at the docks, preparing your fresh catch so it is ready to take straight to a local "cook your catch" waterfront restaurant.
