Unreel Fishing Charters offers Tampa Bay fishing with Captain Chase Krutzky. His service focuses on shallow-water and nearby coastal fishing, with instruction for beginners and four-, six- or eight-hour outings.

Contact and booking details

Captain Chase and the bay boat

Chase identifies himself as a Coast Guard licensed captain with more than a decade targeting Tampa Bay's inshore species. His biography emphasizes first-aid training and boating safety. He welcomes guests who are learning as well as anglers with experience.

The boat is listed as a Blazer Bay 2400, just over 24 feet long. A raised front casting deck, lockable storage, electronics and nonslip Safe Floor decking are described. Ask Chase for the permitted passenger count and available seating.

Fishing water and techniques

Trips work grass flats, mangrove shorelines, oyster bars and backwaters. Redfish, snook, spotted seatrout and snapper are among the advertised fish. The exact targets change with season and conditions.

Chase offers guidance on casting, bait choices and fish handling. Tell him whether you want active casting or more help with the tackle. Nearshore fishing is also advertised, so clarify whether your selected outing stays in the bay or travels outside it.

Trip lengths and equipment

The menu gives four hours for a half day, six for a three-quarter day and eight for a full day. Current prices are supplied through booking or direct contact. Request the total for your date and exact number of guests.

Rods, reels, tackle, bait and fishing license coverage are provided. Guests bring sunscreen, sunglasses, snacks and drinks. Discuss any personal gear and ask about catch cleaning if taking legal fish home is part of your plan.

Booking the correct departure

Call or email Chase to choose a departure point on Tampa Bay. The website does not give a single guaranteed pickup dock in its main trip introduction. Obtain a map address, parking details and arrival time.

Ask how the deposit, guest cancellation and weather rules apply before reserving. Include children's ages or boarding needs in the inquiry. This Tampa Bay business is distinct from the similarly named Un Reel offshore boat in Destin.

Details checked October 9, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
