Trips include 4-, 6-, 8- and 10-hour options targeting species such as snook, tarpon, and sharks, with specific nearshore meat trips and dedicated tarpon days.
Each charter provides tackle, premium gear, and a prepared vessel; Capt. Kyle Wallace conducts fishing instruction, location selection, and onboard safety. Native Sportfishing focuses on local knowledge of tides, structure, and species behavior in St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay to maximize time on productive water. Charters accommodate anglers of varied experience levels, from families and beginners to experienced anglers seeking targeted species.
Bookings are organized by trip length and target species, including shark charters, tarpon-specific outings, and general inshore fishing. The operation lists clear trip names and durations to help anglers select the appropriate experience. Safety equipment and a well-maintained boat are part of the trip offering, and the business lists no fuel surcharge for certain tarpon trips.
