Petersburg fishing guide, Captain Wade Osborne is among the very best in the business when it comes to providing world-class light tackle SPIN/FLY/PLUG inshore sportfishing for snook, redfish, trout and more. Very few fishing guides provide Osborne's level of customer service, expert instruction, and quality equipment to their clients.
His 24-years of guiding professionally full-time on Florida's west coast has propelled him to one of the top guides in the Tampa Bay region. Whether Osborne is guiding one or six anglers to some of the world's best inshore fishing, you'll never catch him fishing himself or sitting on his butt. That's because he's too busy chumming, rigging, baiting hooks and releasing fish.

Testimonials
Report
After a quick "spot change" the fishing was outrageous! We were out for 4 hours and almost every single cast resulted in a fish! We caught Mangrove Snapper, Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Snook and even a little Hammerhead Shark! Captain Wade recommended a place for us to take our snapper to get it cooked up for lunch along with other great bars and things to do in the area!
Redfish
Report
Charter fishing for redfish in Tampa/St. Petersburg with Captain Wade Osborne could be described best as "stupid fishing." At least that's what Drew Paolella from Madison, New Jersey called it back in 1999 after a charter of non-stop redfish catching. Drew exclaimed "this is stupid fishing, you just cast out and catch one redfish after the other."
