Reel Tactical Fishing
Reel Tactical Fishing
Make the most of your time in Bradenton and go fishing with Reel Tactical Fishing. With Captain Matt at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Species like Redfish, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Tarpon, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, King Mackerel, and more could be biting, depending on the season. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Matt also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
Capt. Matt runs a 27' Boston Whaler center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don't forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Nearshore full day on June 8, 2025 • 3 adultsCaptain Matt was an amazing guide. He was super accommodating and knowledgeable about the catch. My friends came in from out of town and we had an amazing charter. We had fish hooked the entire time and left with over 20 fish to cook and caught 50+. I highly recommend this fishing charter as you will 100% get your moneys worth.

Inshore grouper trip half day on March 25, 2024 • 2 adultsGreat day on the water. Captain Matt is a lifetime local and a professional fisherman. It was too windy to fish near shore so we went in shore fishing. What an awesome time. We killed the trout. All day non stop action. The boat is super fast and smooth. We will definitely be back! Thanks Captain Matt!
