There’s a fish with your name on it in Bradenton Beach and Cowabunga Sportfishing will help you catch it! With Captain Donald at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Red Snapper, Red Grouper, Bull Shark, Blackfin Tuna, Gag Grouper, Cobia, Amberjack, Wahoo, Yellowtail Snapper, Scamp Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, and more – with any luck, they’ll make your reel scream.

You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You’ll be casting lines from a 30’ Center console with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water.

You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Cowabunga Sportfishing will make it easy for you to go fishing in Bradenton Beach. So, how about booking that trip?
