Come on aboard with Capt. Anthony, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like light tackle, bottom fishing, handlining, and spinning, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Snapper, Snook, King Mackerel, Redfish, Sheepshead, and Grouper, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your boat for the day will be a 23’ Aquasport that fits up to 4 anglers at any one time. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water.

As for fishing licenses, everything will be taken care of by the captain so you don’t have to worry about it. You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

There will be complimentary drinks aboard for your convenience during the trip, but feel free to bring your own drinks or snacks if you prefer.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

    Shorter trips with a focus on quantity over quality. Small fish with usually a constant bite keeps the kids busy and not bored. Inshore or off the beach, we will go to the closest best bite to make the most of the short time! If weve had enough fishing and still have time left we can stop at a sandbar, cruise for dolphins, or just enjoy a slow ride through scenic Anna Maria Sound.
