If you're in the market for a day to remember, look no further than Mangrove Madness.

Tarpon, Flounder, Gag and Red Grouper, Tripletail, and more can be found in these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

You'll be casting lines from a 24' Skipjack bay boat with room for 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Mangrove Madness.

    Sunset Trip on May 16, 2024 • 2 adults

    Captain Brady is one of a kind. Super genuine and honest with us concerning tides and what we may or may not catch. He did everything he could to get us on some fish and he found the jackpot. We were on snook every cast for 2 solid hours! We enjoyed the trip so much that we rebooked him again two days later. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this charter for couples and small groups or even solo!

    Captain Brady had the boys and I hooked up right away. When we met up with him he had everything ready to go, and we were on ‘em all day. We all had a blast and will definitely be going back out with Brady. Wouldn’t have been as fun without him.

Capt. Brady runs trips out of Ruskin aboard a 24' Skipjack bay boat. These waters are known for Tarpon, Gag Grouper and Tripletail and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're using light tackle, bottom-fishing or trolling. With a number of years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
