Fishing has been HOT nearshore! And we expect it to pick up after the storm rolls through offshore! This will cause a few days of fish not eating, and historically the fishing is amazing on the back-side of the storms! Get out on one of the first trips after the storm!

The return of the hogfish are in full effect! As the waters continue to cool, the hogfish bite heats up! We are expecting the hogfish to continue to pick up after the storm moves through as well! Expect amazing fishing bite behind the storm and the hogfish to be biting hard!

As the uncertainty of the upcoming Hurricane puts many of our friends, family, and business at risk for adverse weather, we are going to pre-cautiously close our doors on Wednesday through Friday with hopes to re-open on Saturday. This storm has the potential to cause significant impacts to the Tampa Bay area, because of this, we have decided to close early to give our employees time to secure their homes and make any plans necessary to evacuate if needed. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who will be affected by this storm. We can't wait to see you all back again next week, and fishing behind this storm should be INCREDIBLE! Stay safe! And tune back in for updates throughout the next few days!

09/23/2024

The Amberjack are still biting well! The Amberjack continue to remain open through the month of October and we will certainly be attacking them! The loads have been light with lots of space to fight these big monsters, and the bite should be even better behind the storm heading our way!

Wilson Hubbard was born in memphis, and came to the Suncoast with his parents while traveling with a carnival in 1928. They Settled at Pass-a-Grille, a tiny waterfront community boasting 162 residents, a policeman and a bootlegger. Young Wilson prospered, catching and selling fish from a Pass-a-Grille pier (which is now “The Merry Pier” on eighth avenue).

When he was 17, he bought five rowboats and 40 cane poles from the concessionaire for $150. He bought his first charter boat after the war, and in 1954 established the first gulf coast half-day fishing party boat. In 1956 he began a marathon 18 hour fishing trip for hard-core anglers, and in 1971, he established overnight weekend trips to far offshore fishing grounds.

he Eighth Avenue Pier became known as Hubbard’s Pier, until Wilson moved his operation to John’s Pass in 1976. Wilson Hubbard fulfilled another vision in 1979, with the opening of the friendly Fisherman Seafood Restaurant, which still serves the freshest seafood available.

Party boat or private charter boat patrons can also enjoy eating their own “catch of the day” cooked at the Friendly Fisherman REstaurant for only $8.95 including “All the fixin’s”

A true visionary, Wilson Hubbard was instrumental in the building and development of John’s Pass Village and the Boardwalk. In 2004, the second generation of the Hubbard family took over ownership of Hubbard’s Marina fishing operations, with Mark Hubbard as president and General manager.

Mark Hubbard’s Sea Adventures - Wilson’s Youngest son, Mark, established Hubbard’s Sea Adventures, a Dolphin-Watching Nature Cruise operation that offers narrated tours of the local environments, wildlife, and history. Wild pods of bottlenose dolphin, and endangered seabirds in mangrove island rookeries are now observed from a respectful distance, and hunted only with a camera.

Mark’s commitment to environmental education prompted him to create a new, more in-depth nature cruise of Upper Boca Ceiga Bay Estuary. Visited by many Pinellas County school children annually, Hubbard’s floating classroom, Environmental Explorer, enables students to observe native wildlife in its natural habitat, explore and understand wetland environments, and discuss current environmental issues with the ship’s on-board naturalist.

Mark Hubbard, like his father, likes to keep one foot in the future. A forward-looking company, Sea Adventures was merged with Hubbard’s Marina in 2004. It maintains a staff naturalist, updates cruise narration regularly to include current research, and encourages staff and visitors to make comments or suggestions on ways to improve the company and it’s cruises.

Mark Hubbard also took ownership of Hubbard’s Marina fishing operations in 2006 and has expanded operations by now offering a fleet of custom built private charter fishing vessels that offer a myriad of differing options for any sized group! Hubbard’s Marina currently can offer any type of private charter fishing from 2 inches of water out to 1,000 foot of water. Whatever type of fishing you want to do on the west coast of Florida Hubbard’s Marina is a one stop shop!

In addition to the new private charter options, Capt Mark Hubbard has added longer more advanced long range party boat fishing options like our 44 hour full moon fishing trip and the special 63 hour long range deep drop and pelagic fishing trip that offers an opportunity to fish 400 to 1,000 foot of water with electric reels.
