Wax’em Fishing Charters is located in Bradenton Florida and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters. Their goal is to provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience and to keep the lines tight and a smile on your face all day long! They fish all over Tampa bay and the Gulf of Mexico for a variety of fish!

Capt. Austin aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you're after! Depending on the trip and species, you'll be using techniques like light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, handline, and many more.

You're looking at 4 to 8-hour trips, where you'll usually go after the likes of Snook, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Cobia, Grouper, and Snapper, depending on the weather and time of year.

You'll be fishing from a 22' Aquasport boat with enough room for up to 4 anglers at any single time.

When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter.

Coolers are provided for food and drinks and separate coolers are used for fish.

You'll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Kids are welcome aboard, so you're free to make it a family adventure.

Half Day with Captain Austin

Our charter was a great time! Captain Austin was polite and great company. Captain Austin took us to so many great spots! Fish were biting the entire time and when/if they slowed down he promptly moved us to another spot with constant biting! He was very attentive to our bait needs never leaving us waiting. The boat was perfect size with a comfy cushioned large seat up front, our boys fell asleep on. He cleaned all our fish back at the dock and even packaged them in ice for us. We will be referring him to all our friends and highly recommend!
