Samuel Newman

Member since April 2019 Tampa, United States
Background
Captain Samuel Newman began fishing when he was only 3 years old, has been working on boats since he was 10, and became a deckhand at the age of 15. He moved down to Tampa from eastern Connecticut, got his captain’s license in 2017, and has been running charters since 2018. He specializes in catching Bull Redfish and other big trophy species, such as Goliath Grouper, Snook, Tarpon, and more! He loves his job because “there’s no greater feeling than helping someone catch their first monster fish and just making people happy.” It’s why he does what he does. Captain Sam invites you to join him on Baytime Charters and experience the thrill of a lifetime!
Techniques
Captain Sam will adapt to whatever type of fish is running but he particularly enjoys throwing live bait!

We are slowly creeping into the best weather and fishing of the year. Tampabay has endless options in the spring including Redfish, Snook, seatrout, cobia, tripletail, permit, tarpon, sharks, snapper, black drumm, ect. So far redfish, snook, and trout are off to a strong start. If your after a trophy for pictures or meat for a taco dinner we have you covered.

Dec 6, 2025 Tampa
As the water gets colder a whole new batch of fish make their way into tampabay and nearshore Gulf waters. Inshore we have good redfish on the flats with some big black drumm on the bridges and some sheepshead and seatrout for fish tacos. Nearshore we have cobia, snapper, sharks and barracuda on the reefs. Some hogfish and pompano have been getting thrown into the mix as well. If youd like to try a battle against a shark. We have plenty of those as well!

If you want to beat the heat book the A.M.!
