"It's refreshing to know someone that is polling me around like Capt. Dustin Pack, who is a care giver for this environment that someone else is going to inherit" - Host of Flats Class TV and Legendary fishing Guide Capt. CA Richardson
Third Generation Floridian
Specializing in fly fishing and sight fishing, Capt. Dustin Pack invites you to experience the unmatched beauty of the Tampa Bay watershed — a vast estuary teeming with life. From sight fishing shallow seagrass flats for tailing redfish, laid-up snook, and sea trout, to chasing giant migratory tarpon along the Gulf, Tampa Bay and its surrounding waters offer endless opportunities for year-round adventure on the fly.
Tampa Bay WaterKeeper
A fishing guide’s first priority should always be the environment. A healthy body of water creates a stronger ecosystem and a more rewarding fishing experience. Since 2020, Capt. Dustin Pack has served on the Board of Directors for Tampa Bay Waterkeeper — a proud member of the Waterkeeper Alliance, a global network of more than 350 grassroots leaders across six continents dedicated to protecting everyone’s right to clean water.
Fly Fishing Trips
Half Day $600
Half-Day Trips (4–5 hours): These trips are a great way to get out on the water and target multiple species when you’re pressed for time. Trips typically run inside Tampa Bay and can include redfish, snook, trout, or baby tarpon depending on the season.
Full Day $800
Full-Day Trips (8+ hours): These trips are designed for dedicated anglers who want to cover a lot of water, explore multiple spots, and target a variety of species.
3/4 Day $700
Three-Quarter Day Trips (5–7 hours): Perfect for anglers with a little more time to spend on the water. These trips target redfish, snook, and trout, with seasonal chances at tarpon, cobia, and tripletail.
Tarpon Fishing $900
Tarpon Trips (April–July): These trips are designed for the most seasoned and dedicated anglers. Tarpon fishing is challenging, and the days are long — but this is the busiest time of year for any fly-fishing guide, and there’s a reason why.
Night Fishing $600
Night Fishing (4 hours, April–October): These trips are a ton of fun and offer more opportunities to catch snook, trout, and tarpon than a typical day trip. Trips typically run from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. (weather and tide dependent).
