If you're ready to experience fishing in Cedar Key, look no further than Breaking Nets Fishing Adventures.

Around here it's common to catch Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, Snook, Flounder, Sheepshead, Tripletail, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Pompano, Bonnethead Sharks and sometimes more if conditions are right. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask in advance if there's one on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your boat for the day is an 18' Key Largo bay boat with a capacity for 2 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. NO GLASS BOTTLES OR CONTAINERS.

Breaking Nets Fishing Adventures will make it easy for you to go fishing in Cedar Key. So, how about booking that trip?

    Trip of a lifetime with Capt Brandon !!!

    Half Day 4 Hour Trip (AM) on March 20, 2024

    If your looking for someone who makes it easy to catch fish, this is your guy. We immediately got on fish, right after a short run from the dock. In addition to catching fish Brandon kept us entertained by showing some of the local wildlife, which included dolphins and many bird species. Overall great trip, highly recommended, thanks Captain Brandon We will see you again next year!

    Awesome birthday fishing trip!

    Half Day 4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 24, 2024 • 2 adults

    Captain Brandon was absolutely awesome. I took my friend for a surprise birthday fishing trip. Captain Brandon had everything you could need rod reels the licensing, bait and water in the cooler. He took us to several different spots to make sure that my friend caught a fish and she did, a keeper red fish. Totally recommend Captain Brandon, planning my next trip already!

    3/4 Day 6 Hour Trip on March 16, 2024

    Captain Brandon took us out we had a great time. He was very knowledgeable and took care of where were the best places to catch reds and trout. My son caught a red drum unable to keep him though was too big, wish it hadn't been. I have already booked my next trip with him. Excellent Captain and guide

    Best fishing trip

    Full Day 8 Hour Trip on July 10, 2024 • 3 adults

    Brandon was the best!! I highly recommend doing an all day fishing trip with him. We went scalloping and came back with 4 gallons of scallops. We caught a baby shark, stingray, red fish and sea bass. Will definitely book with him when we come back to Cedar Key!

    Great trip with abundant knowledge!

    Half Day 4 Hour Trip (AM) on December 21, 2023

    Brandon was very respectful and was focused on our safety first as the wind was blowing so we hit the backwaters first and caught some fish! My son reeled in a redfish and flounder! Great experience!

    Half Day Family Fun on March 2, 2024

    I’ve now been out on the water with Captain Brandon Burke quite a few times. There is never a dull moment! Rods are bent, there is good conversation, and he is both knowledgeable and helpful. The cherry on top, which is extremely important to me, is that he not only makes it fun for everyone, but he makes me feel SAFE. This wasn’t my first experience with him, and certainly will not be my last.

Great morning fishing trip with Captain Brandon
Half Day 4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 1, 2024

I had a great time fishing with Captain Brandon. He never hesitated to move to different spots to put us on fish. I caught red fish, black drum and whiting. Brandon cleaned and filleted the fish, and I took the fish to the restaurant "Steamers", and they cooked it for my wife and me. I would highly recommend Captain Brandon for a fishing trip.

Born and raised Floridian I have always loved the water. I first started fishing at a young age with my cousins in my grandparents' pond. It was easy for us to spend the whole day catching Minnows, Tadpoles, Bass, and Bluegill. Shortly after that, I got to experience Bass fishing on a boat in the Florida Everglades where my love for fishing grew a little more. Then after I was a little older was lucky enough to get invited with my friend's family to go out to the west coast of Florida and drift the flats for trout and troll the mangroves and oyster bars for Redfish and Snook and that's when I fell in love with the gulf coast fishery. Since then, I have had the privilege to fish the waters in the Florida Keys, East Coast, and West Coast and up into the panhandle of Florida. I enjoy taking kids fishing. I am a father of 2 and nothing fills me with more joy than seeing the excitement on their face after reeling one in. So, look no further and book your next trip with Breaking Nets Fishing Adventures!
