Hi, I’m Captain Nick Gonzalez, and welcome to My Time Fishing! Fishing has been in my blood since I was five years old. Growing up in Tampa Bay, I’ve spent countless hours on the water, gaining firsthand experience and cultivating a deep understanding of the local area. Now I’m proud to share my passion and extensive knowledge of Florida’s fishing scene with you.

 

Though I spent years pursuing a career in baseball—playing at the University of South Florida and even in professional leagues—my heart always belonged to the water. After retiring, I decided to follow my true calling and become a full-time fishing guide. My journey began with my dad, a generational fisherman who taught me everything I know. He fished in places like Venezuela, Miami, the Florida Keys, and Tampa, and passed down that wealth of knowledge to me.

 

I specialize in fishing from Tampa Bay to New Port Richey, I’ve also explored waters from Fort Pierce to the Keys, gaining a deep understanding of the diverse fishing ecosystems Florida has to offer. My focus, however, remains on the rich, local waters of Tampa Bay, where I’ve spent the majority of my life fishing.

 

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-time fisher, my goal is to provide you with an unforgettable experience, tailored to your skill level and interests. I’m dedicated to not just putting you on fish, but helping you learn and appreciate the natural beauty of our local waters. Let’s make some memories on the water—My Time Fishing is your time to hook the big one!
