MeetCaptain Nathan Diaz
I’ve been very lucky and fortunate to call Tampa Bay home for my whole life. I started fishing with my Dad at a very early age. From offshore adventures to the middle grounds, to fishing the flats – we did it all!
I always knew that I wanted to make a career on the water, sharing with locals and visitors all that Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico has to offer.

Had an absolute blast! Captain Nate really knows his stuff and a great guy to fish with! I’ll definitely be coming back to fish with big bay fishing!

Captain Nate was a phenomenal captain he was great with my 11 year old son who was a bit nervous about the trip. Captain Nate made sure everyone of us caught a fish!! I was really there to spot some dolphins and Captain Nate really went out of his way to make sure I did! I would recommend Captain Nate to anyone looking for for an experienced and family friendly adventure on the water. We will definitely be back with captain Nate next year !!
