Looking to catch some fish in Manatee County? Make it happen, with Ratha B Fishin! Captain Jeffrey will be your guide, offering years of knowledge and experience. Start times for trips can be adjusted; just reach out to your captain if you had another time in mind other than what is listed.
Species like Barracuda, Cobia, Gag Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Permit, Redfish, Sheepshead, Blacktip Shark, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the time of year. On these trips, you can expect to fish live baits and Artificial lures using light or heavy tackle.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own.
Your trip begins aboard a 21' Key West bay boat with space for 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and preferably non slip shoes. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.
Ratha B Fishin will make it easy for you to go fishing on Anna Maria Island and surrounding areas. So, how about booking that trip?

Caught fish on every cast!
3 hour on April 4, 2026 • 5 adults
We had a blast! We caught so many fish immediately on the beginning of our trip. We kept enough sea trout to have a family meal and released the rest. We caught a variety fish, including ladyfish, red drum, and snook. When we finished fishing the captain took us on a tour of the island. We even stopped at a sandbar to find sand dollars. The captain was very friendly and helpful. It was very easy to communicate with him and set up our fishing trip. I would recommend this fishing charter to anyone!

Epic Saturday
Half Day Trip (AM) on October 25, 2025 • 1 adult
Had an absolutely fantastic day with Captain Leonard. Pick up location was easy to find and we were in the fish within 30 minutes. First part of the trip was in shore and caught Snook, Jack, a flounder and Pinfish which we used later.
After the in shore fishing we headed just off the beach and got into a great school of Spanish Mackerel and Kings. Landed more than 10 Mackerel and 3 Kings. had a large King (on the Pinfish) that ran out a ton of line but broke off.
captain Leonard was attentive, a great conversationalist and knew his waters. will join him again next time we are down.

Fish and fun! AM (With kids) on April 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children
Such a great time with Captain Jeff. He is really knowledgable of the area, great with kids on board too. We caught lots of fish including trout, mackeral, puffers, blue and even a tarpon. Also enjoyed seeing the manatees and our stop at the sandbar. Best part was taking home the fresh catch for dinner. Captain Jeff cleaned and fileted everything.

Jeff was great - highly recommend!
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 17, 2026 • 4 adults
Jeff was a great captain with all the poles and bait a group of fishermen could ask for. He was patient in teaching us all how to bait our hooks and the reeling approach to minimize lost fish. He even fileted our fish afterward and offered his suggestions how best to cook the sheeps head we caught. He’s a great resource about the island and offered up some fun facts along the way. Between the 40+ fish we caught - it was a great time!

Fun day of Fishing
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 2, 2025 • 3 adults
We booked our half day fishing trip a week before our trip, We received text and email communications up to the scheduled date. Our Captain was Jeff and he was great! He was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us some great tips and recommendations to improve our stay while visiting the area. He was very attentive, always making sure we had bait and giving us tips throughout the trip. When we arrived at the boat ramp he was already there ready for us to “go fishing”. We were a party of 3 and probably caught 50-60 fish. Jeff also had a great playlist of music for us to listen to on our excursion. Had a blast and would recommend Ratha be Fishin.
