Captain Bryan Foley
Next Catch Guide Service is a family owned fishing charter based in Saint Petersburg, Florida, offering private guided trips throughout Tampa Bay, Boca Ciega Bay and the nearshore Gulf waters. Captain Bryan Foley combines more than a decade of local on the water experience with a flexible, seasonally focused approach to fishing Florida's west coast.
Whether guests are first time anglers, families, visiting vacationers, or experienced fisherman, every trip is built around the season, tides, weather and what is biting that day.
Plan around the bite
The west coast fishes differently month to month. This is roughly how the year runs, and Captain Bryan adjusts each trip to the tides and conditions on the day.

Where we meet
Our Saint Petersburg trips pick up at the Maximo Park boat ramp beside Maximo Marina, on Frenchman Creek. The map shows exactly where Captain Bryan will meet you at the dock, and where to leave your car.
The boat
Guests fish from a 23 foot Hanson tower boat designed for shallow water access and comfortable navigation, so a single trip can work a grass flat in the morning and sit on nearshore structure by afternoon.

Captain Bryan put us on fish and helped educate us. He was professional and personable, effectively teaching both the new fishermen in our group and the most experienced ones. Highly recommend this charter!
Awesome day fishing with Captain Bryan. Caught and landed the largest Snook I ever caught! Hooked some Tarpon (unable to land) also! Also caught some Snappers. Captain Bryan will take you to where the fish are!!
Bryan is the man and a great guide. Everything I could have asked for in a tarpon trip and more! He was focused and dedicated to the fish at all times and we definitely were on the fish!!! He was also very kind and accommodating to my family. A super guide with the fish to prove it!
