Captain Dillon Arsenault is the driving force behind Slot Boys Charters, bringing dedication, skill, and a genuine love for fishing to every trip he leads. A Florida native, Dillon grew up on the water, spending his early years learning the tides, targeting local species, and mastering inshore and nearshore techniques. His deep familiarity with the area's waters—especially Tampa Bay and its surrounding flats—gives guests a true advantage when it comes to locating fish and understanding seasonal patterns.
With years of hands-on experience, Captain Dillon has built a reputation for his patience, professionalism, and easygoing personality. He welcomes anglers of all levels, whether you're casting a rod for the first time or refining your technique. His goal is to create an atmosphere where guests can enjoy the process, ask questions, and walk away with valuable skills. From choosing the right bait to reading the water, Dillon’s guidance helps make each outing productive and enjoyable.
What sets Captain Dillon apart is his focus on customization. Every trip is adjusted based on weather, tides, and guest preferences to maximize success on the water. He takes time to understand your goals—whether it's targeting a specific species, learning a new method, or just spending quality time with family. That thoughtful approach, combined with his knowledge and enthusiasm, ensures each experience is as rewarding as it is memorable.
The Slot Boys Charters boat is a 20-foot Dusky center console, built for both comfort and function. Powered by a 175-horsepower Suzuki engine, it reaches up to 40 mph, offering quick access to inshore and nearshore fishing grounds. The boat comfortably fits up to six guests, with a spacious deck that allows for smooth casting and easy movement throughout the trip. Outfitted with quality rods, reels, bait, and safety gear, the vessel is well-maintained and ready for a day of reliable performance on the water. Whether you're after tarpon, redfish, or grouper, the boat’s layout and equipment are designed to support a great fishing experience from start to finish.
