About This Tour
Captain Jason Dozier is a Florida native who grew up fishing and learning to navigate Florida’s back country and inter-coastal waterways. He has a U.S. Coast Guard 50 ton masters captain license which allows him to pursue his passion of sharing his love, respect, and knowledge of Florida’s pristine coasts.To Capt. Jason, putting his clients on fish is not just a job its a passion; it’s an addiction and it’s a rush. He will work diligently to make sure that you get to enjoy the beautiful waters he gets to fish on everyday just as much as he does. We will be fishing in and visiting some of Tampa's most beautiful islands, creeks, and sandbars inside of Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay is the largest open-water estuary in Florida, encompassing nearly 400 square miles and bordering three counties -- Hillsborough, Manatee and Pinellas. The bay's sprawling watershed covers a land area nearly five times as large, at 2,200 square miles.
