Bayport is located near the center of Florida’s nature coast. Florida’s nature coast is made up of 8 counties and is considered by many to be some of the best inshore fishing anywhere. Inshore fishing for Spotted Seatrout, Snook, Redfish is a year round activity and the spring Tarpon fishing is excellent in May and June. The area is also known for great scalloping. Offshore fishing also holds great fishing for Red Snapper, Grouper and all the deep water usual subjects. Bayport is a small community and provides clean unspoiled waterways and mangrove islands that inshore fish love. Due to the small size of the community the area does not experience the high level of fishing pressure the areas to the south and closer to Tampa and other metropolitan areas experience. Bayport is the entry into a paradise for fisherman.
From Bayport Capt. Dencil Powell is able to easily fish the northern areas of Pasco County and the southern portions of Hernando County which are considered by many fishermen as the sweet spot. Bayport Park Boat Ramp serves as Capt. Dencil’s office. The park offers a fishing pier, boat and kayak ramps, parking and restrooms as well as picnic and barbecue pavilions with a boardwalk.
Snook, Redfish, Sea Trout and Tarpon all are targets for inshore fishing. The crystal clear water makes for incredible fishing year round. “The Rajun Cajun”, Capt. Dencil Powell, and other local guides have the knowledge of the local waters and know their way through the maze of waterways and rocks to get you on fish. Weather and tides always play a part in a day of fishing. This is when over 30 years of experience enable Capt. Dencil to come up with an plan of attack that yields fish for that day.
