The wild waters of Anna Maria are calling, and Run For The Reels Shark Fishing is here to take you to them! Here you'll have access to local beaches, including some spots that only a local can show you.

Your guide specializes in heavy tackle fishing, which is how you'll get acquainted with these waters. You may also use spinning gear for your catch. Carson will provide rods and reels, as well as dead bait to attract the bite.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Blacktip Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Bull Shark, Lemon Shark, Nurse Shark, and anything else that bites.

Any fish you catch will be released. Up to 70 anglers can join these excursions. You'll make your way to the fishing grounds on foot, so dress accordingly and bring only as much as you can carry. Expect to get in touch with Carson before the trip so you know where to meet and how to get there.

Be sure to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group ahead of time. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply. Layered clothing and appropriate footwear are always encouraged (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunblock, and bottled water, rain or shine.

Carson will have complimentary water for you, and if you wish to bring your own drinks simply ask. Carson welcomes anglers of all ages on these trips, including kids!

And you're all set! Get in touch with Run For The Reels Shark Fishing below and start planning your trip today!
