Captain Brook Wallace has over forty years of experience navigating and fishing the entire Tampa Bay region and has all licenses and insurance needed.

These trips are operated from a private seaside property where guests may park for free and not worry about their cars. The main service area includes Bradenton, Sarasota, Palmetto, Anna Maria Island, and Longboat Key, FL. This is a 30-55 minute drive from Tampa, St. Petersburg, Brandon, Venice, or Englewood.

If you are reading this we probably have a lot in common already. I was very lucky to have grown up in an incredible family and fishing was always our favorite activity. The memories we make with family and friends are really all we have and well, what experiences measure up to those fishing trips you had with your dad, grandfather, uncle, etc.? Exactly. I am new on FishingBooker, but am celebrating 17 years in business. I'm a college graduate and former insurance agent. I was a competitive and winning tournament fisherman for over a decade before I decided to start my charter business in 2005. The extreme competitive nature I have on the water stems from my total obsession growing up, playing baseball. Couple that with my good humor and even better manners and you have the beginnings of a pretty good fishing guide. Now factor in my safety record, its pretty good. After thousands of trips, I haven't had a single accident or incident. My niche groups are families with kids. Tight lines

March Trout Highlights Snook Turning on
March Trout Highlights Snook Turning on
March 25, 2024
Trout fishing has been really good since beginning of March. Bunching up in sea grass around sandbars, they have been quite aggressive busting live freelined shiners. Releasing most, but have harvested many for my guests dinner plates. The past week has been very windy and have started getting into snook action along some wind protected mangrove areas. Many happy kids this month which is my main objective.
