TNT Freedom Fishing Charters LLC is a combat veteran-owned business that runs private fishing trips around the beautiful diamond blue waters of Siesta Key. Here you will find experienced Owner Captain Tony Fudoli Jr, a stable boat, big fish, and enjoyable trips. With Captain Tony, it’s not just about fishing, it’s about learning and understanding the sport.

TNT Freedom Fishing Charters has had numerous repeat customers onboard. Captain Tony has been running trips locally for 9 years and caters to both novice and pro anglers. These inshore waters offer productive fishing and smiling anglers – just have a look at the photos and reviews, and you’ll see why anglers, kids, and families want to fish again with Captain Tony Fudoli.

The fishing is great year-round, and he has the right vessel to put you on fish. You will join Captain Tony aboard his 22’ Scout center console. She is powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine and can reach speeds of up to 52 knots. The vessel is rigged with GPS, a fishfinder, and has a trolling motor, power pole, and live bait well. The fishing is best done with up to 4 anglers on board.

You will be fishing bay and backwaters, searching for the likes of Snook, Trout, Redfish, Tarpon, and more. Whether you choose trolling, bottom fishing, fishing on the fly, popping, or jigging, he’s got you covered. Fly anglers should bring their own gear.

When you come aboard, you will get the rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait. Captain Tony will provide the fishing license and will have ice and water on board. You can keep the catch and he will get it cleaned and filleted. Captain Tony works together with his partners in the Hidden Harbor Marina and recommends a restaurant to cook you a meal from the fish you catch.

You should bring a hat, sunglasses, sunblock, and a great attitude to reel in some fish. Captain Tony is great with kids and families of all ages. There is a 15% discount for all veterans.

Awesome 4 hr morning charter, 4 people
Half day Am fishing trip on April 16, 20254 adults
Captain Tony Jr. is the man! We went out on Wednesday, April 16. Tony met us at the dock with a boat full of premium bait fish ready to go. We headed out through the inner coastal waterways and hit multiple fishing spots. We immediately started getting bites from a multitude of fish species but not our target fish. We started landing some speckled trout and Spanish mackerel. Tony was very laid back and helpful in jigging and fishing techniques and was not judgmental towards our lack of knowledge. We also saw some amazing wildlife including different water fowl, a manatee, some eagles, and watched a huge manta ray jump right in front of the boat. The wildlife alone was worth the trip. We weren’t so lucky with pompano fishing but we’re getting the same feedback from fellow fisherman passerby’s. We ended up with a dozen beautiful fillets to bring home for a wonderful surf and turf dinner! All in all it was an awesome experience and would 100% fish with TNT again if given the chance. Don’t think twice and book your trip!!

Am 6 HR inshore nearshore on February 11, 20254 adults
Captain Tony was great! We took a 6 hour fishing charter and had an amazing time. He knew all the spots and if the fish weren’t biting, he would make sure to move on to another spot right away and not lose time. He was very knowledgeable about the area taking us to several places where we were able to catch fish. He is also very knowledgeable about the fishing techniques and lures we used. It was my father’s first time fishing and Tony made it very comfortable and enjoyable for him. We caught all kinds of fish, jack fish, needle fish, catfish, ladyfish.We took home 7 trout and 1 red fish. We had an amazing time with TNT Freedom Fishing Charters, if you want to have an awesome experience, have a good laugh and catch some fish, I highly recommend you call Captain Tony!

A Great Outing
Half day Pm fishing trip on December 23, 20243 adults
The passengers were me, my son and my grandson. The weather was a typical December day in Sarasota: low 70s, sunny and little wind. As Tony, our captain, took us out to fishing locations, I was reminded how beautiful the Intercoastal waterway is. Tony took us to various locations as we caught more than 20 fish, 8 of which were suitable to take home and a Ray who was returned to the water along with the too small fish. Tony was upbeat throughout our session and helped each of us as much as we needed to have successful outing. Great experience! Tonight we will prepare our catch, fully readied by Tony, for dinner.
