Flats, Inshore & All Bay Fishing

Welcome to Fish This Inshore Charters guiding out of beautiful Apollo Beach, FL. We offer Tampa fishing charters for snook, redfish, trout, and more. The south shore of Tampa Bay has always been known as one of the great fisheries in our state. Fish This Inshore Charters can show you the very best Tampa Bay has to offer. From inshore flats fishing for redfish to searching the depths for grouper we have it covered. Tampa Bay fishing charters are just a phone call away and we are conveniently located to both Tampa and St.

This boat is equipped with Simrad Go7 GPS/Depthfinder, Minn Kota remote control trolling motor and hardtop center console with stereo. 2 livewells for bait (Fore and Aft) and fish box.  A “Seafreeze” cooler for food and beverage keeps ice for a couple days.

Florida Railroad Museum

Various vintage trains on display at the Florida Railroad Museum in Parrish, Florida, with a central logo reading 'Florida Railroad Museum, Preserving Florida's Railroad History'.

The Florida Railroad Museum, Inc. was founded as The Florida Gulf Coast Railroad Museum with the stated goal of preserving Florida’s railroad history. Over the years, the Museum has acquired and preserved rolling stock and equipment to operate for the public’s enjoyment. We hope our visitors appreciate the sights and sounds of Florida railroading as it existed in the 1940s and 1950s.

The train operates on a six mile rail line between Parrish and Willow, Florida in rural Manatee County. Built by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad in the early 1900s, this was the first line through Manatee County. Following the merger of the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Airline in 1967, this line was downgraded and finally abandoned in 1986.

Each weekend our diesel powered trains take passengers on an excursion using a variety of open-air, open-window and air conditioned cars. Trains are operated entirely by museum members volunteering thousands of hours a year to make this unique experience possible.
