About Captain Carlos Bueno

The Fishing Experience of a Lifetime

Bueno Fishing provides the most epic fishing experience in Tampa Bay. Fishing is a lifestyle that keeps us exercising while eating fresh catches from the sea. Studied International Business at USF & St. Leo University to stay close to my favorite fishing grounds. Graduated St Leo University in 2004. During college and after college I took dozens of friends, brother’s friends, friend’s of friends fishing to better hone the service part of fishing and being able to understand why people are fascinated with Fishing. What I learned- It is because of the Adventure. After college I started fishing down south more and learning Sarasota, Englewood, and Lemon Bay. My favorite adventure growing up was leaving the dock really early; when it was still dark, and jump a Tarpon at the Bridge, Catch snook at sunrise, and pompano fish under the bridge with fiddler crabs to get out of the sun. Every Trip is different. Some days god will touch the water and other days you will come back to the dock and want to sell all your fishing equipment. The important part is to have the right attitude and always have fun. If you want to go fishing give me a call and I will try to customize a fishing trip that will fill your needs; If I cannot I will at least point you in the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions

I would have to say live bait fishing. I love artificials but live bait allows me to engage with people of all different skill levels; Plus I am old-school! I customize my charters to who steps onto my boat.
Tampa Bay. Obviously my fishing changes throughout the year to adjust to the seasons and the fish; but my favorite place to leave from is, O’Neill’s Marina. O’Neill’s Marina is located in South St. Petersburg off of 275 South & Exit 16. I also pick up from Channelside, Gandy Boat Ramp, St Pete Pier, Tierra Verde Marina, The Wharf Restaurant on Pass a Grille Beach, Anna Maria Island, and private residences on the water. Boca Grande From The Innlet, Gasparilla Boat Ramp, Little Gasparilla Island, Palm Island, Don Pedro Island, Manasota Key, Englewood, & Bokeelia Tarpon Inn.
A coke and a smile! Pretty much everything is provided: Fishing Licenses, Rods, Daiwa Reels, Fishing Tackle, Cooler w/ Ice & Water, Sunblock, and Live Bait! Bring a good attitude, hat, glasses, food, and drinks. A dockside lunch is not out of the question.
On my boat I can fish 1-4 people, but I can accommodate to as many as a soccer team!
We recommend catch and release but I love seafood. I leave the decision of killing the fish to the fisherman. I will Clean and Bag your catch. If you are visiting, there are local restaurants in the Tampa Bay area that will cook your catch.
Depends on the time of year and what the tides are doing. Typically, I leave the dock between 7-8 am. The hot temps of Late July, August, and early September force me out earlier. Night Tarpon Fishing is a lot of Fun.
