During their visit to Tampa for the National League of Cities, 2024 City Summit last week, attendees from Santa Clara, UT took the opportunity to experience some Tampa Bay flats fishing. (L-R) Brock, City Manager, Rick, Mayor and Ben, City Council enjoyed two separate days of non-stop snook and redfish action.

Here’s what Rick had to say about Afishionado Guide Services. We had a great day with Capt. Wade, he was very professional and knowledgeable and shared his experiences with us. We caught Snook, Redfish, and Speckled Trout in numbers and size to satisfy our needs until next time. His lunch recommendation to cook our catch was awesome too.

Needless to say, “They’re Hooked” and are looking forward to another adventure aboard Afishionado in the future.

Afishionado, “Adventures in Fishing.”

Our daughter and her friends were home for spring break from college and wanted to go fishing. We booked Wade online. Everything was seamless. He sent all of the info we needed and followed up with a phone call prior to our fishing trip.

Wade had a fully outfitted boat. Our party of 6 had him running ragged keeping our rods baited and the fish off our hooks! We caught one fish after another. It was truly a beautiful day. The girls had a blast.

We came home and cooked up the fish. Delicious!

I’ve chartered a lot of fishing services in the past and Afishionado ranks up at the top.

In addition to having a well-maintained boat, all the fishing tackle and gear was ready-to-go and in excellent condition. There was also plenty of live bait on board to provide the best opportunity to catch fish. On top of that, Wade is highly knowledgeable about the area and where the fish are located. And if for some reason the fish stop hitting in one area, he is quick to suggest other options to provide the most action and the best value. Wade is also great with kids and is skilled at teaching the basics to ensure a good time is had by all.

I highly recommend Afishionado Guide Services and Wade Osborne for a truly memorable fishing excursion.

We had a great day on the water with Captain Wade! He put us on fish quickly and was very efficient with rebaiting and taking pictures of us with our catches. We saw lots of dolphins and manatees and he had plenty of witty jokes. I would definitely recommend Wade for an inland charter!

After catching numerous redfish too big to keep, Daryl and Randy added two, to the fish box at the very end of their charter.

We had a great time yesterday, glad we made the one-hour, 20-minute drive. It was certainly worth it, due to the level of service we received.
Wade, we will definitely be going fishing with you again.
