Anna Maria Island Fishers and Fun
Hey, its Capt. Josh! Born and raised in the area 25 years young. Life long experience in Commercial fishing , tournament fishing , master captain
I started and run Anna Maria Island Fishers and Fun!!!
I’m here to show you the stunning waters of Anna Maria Island, Tampa Bay, and Sarasota, Siesta Key.
Fishing Charters, Dolphin Tours, Sunset Tours, Sand bar Fun Cruises, and Eco Tours
Ican tell you all about the local fishery. These waters are known for Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Trout, Snappers, Groupers, Mackerals, Sharks and more
– Guaranteed to catch fish and if it’s a slow day I will give us extra time to keep fishing!
Capt. Joshua is happy to have kids aboard!! So the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there is any.
Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly! Ice and waters are provided.
You'll be dropping lines from a 24' Ranger bay boat that can carry up to 6 passengers with great seating arrangements!
It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.
Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you can know how it works. You can join along if you are an avid angler!!
There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
You can't go wrong when you bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with Anna Maria Island Fishers and Fun !!

First Fishing Trip with the Boys!
We took the kids fishing for the very first time and had such a fun adventure! We started around Bradenton and Anna Maria Island, stopping at different spots to try our luck. After a few tries, one of the kids caught the first fish and was so excited! Captain Josh was incredibly patient and helpful, taking us from place to place until we found the right spots. We eventually made it down to Sarasota, where we saw dolphins, sharks, and even a hammerhead—it was amazing! One of the kids kept catching fish after fish (including a catfish we released), but the real MVP was the one who patiently waited and ended up catching most of the fish we kept. It was such a memorable family experience. Captain Josh made the whole trip easy, exciting, and fun.

Last minute fishing trip
Last minute fishing trip with my son. Weather conditions were not ideal at all but captain was able to put us on fish, show us some crazy wildlife and fileted our catch. If captain was able to get us on fish in these conditions, he will kill it for you in good conditions. Strongly recommend using this captain and will definitely book again.
