Beach Fishing Adventures Anna Maria
Beach Fishing Adventures invites you to discover the Gulf's world-class fishery in a totally new way by fishing from the beach (No Boat)! If you're eager for an exciting experience but don't want to travel miles to unpredictable waters, this is it. Guide Steven Herich will make sure you have a memorable fishing experience in Anna Maria.
With over 3 decades of experience, Capt. Steven has acquired vast experience and knowledge. He shares them with his guests to provide them with top-class on-the-beach adventures regardless of their age and skill levels. Thanks to his patience and teaching skills, you'll have a great time learning how to land a terrific catch as well as to catch live bait, use the tackle, and get a good grasp of the local fishery.
The spots you'll be fishing from include beaches, piers, the bay, and jetties. The guide will show you the best ways to reel in fish and help you experience the beauty of a hands-on approach. Put together his knowledge, expert techniques, and the rich fishery and you get the best chance for catching species such as Snook, Pompano, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, and many more Floridian saltwater big-name species!
Sight fishing here is very popular, and targeting Snook is the epitome of sight fishing. Most of the time you can see the fish, and if you have the right guide/skills you'll be able to catch it
Things to keep in mind are that smoking and alcohol aren't allowed on the beach. Also, you can keep your catch but the guide encourages releasing in order to preserve the fishery. For keeping Snook, you'll need a $10 permit.
Coach Steve provides you with top-notch Penn gear, live bait, lures, and even filleting and bagging your catch. His gear is fully tailored for the hard-fighting Snook. That said, just remember to bring your fishing licenses for the day. The usual 15-20% gratuity for your guide's hard work would be highly appreciated!
Don't miss this opportunity to have a fishing day to remember

2 Hour Trip – No Boat (AM) on June 8, 2023 • 8 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Steven was very knowledgeable about the area and the fish!!! We caught a poisonous fish on the trip and I wouldn’t have known not to touch it with my bare hands without our guide. My husband Ben Benner caught an out of season Snook and released it! Very exciting to catch according to him! Luckily I provided him with a bait fish that i caught to aid in his success! Overall it was an amazing trip! I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone! Even if you only go two hours!!! Thank you Captain for being up to the trip! It was a pleasure to fish with you!!!
Mark Kirby5.0Verified3 Hour Surf Fishing with Captain Steve
3 Hour Trip – No Boat (AM) on February 15, 2022 • 3 adultsConscientious Captain Steve! Great morning in the surf catching fish! Captain Steve is a true professional and put us on the fish. All tackle and bait was perfect for catching Pompano, Sheeps Head and Bluefish. The action was fast and furious fishing just off the submerged rock points. Captain Steve suggested a location a little further than our vacation rental due to better fishing, and he was right on. Cleaned all our fish into perfect filets, ready for dinner tonight, doesn't get any fresher than that. And besides all the aforementioned details, Captain Steve is a great guy and shared his knowledge of the sea with us, so we can now venture out on our own. 5 STAR Rating for Captain Steve! We will definitely be booking with Captain Steve on our next trip to Florida. Cody, John & Mark.
