Planning your fishing trip in the area just got easier, thanks to Fishin' the Outdoors Anna Maria!!!

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime fishing adventure! Chris will help you catch some real monsters from the beach.

Here you won't be far from inshore waters, including some honeyholes that only a local guide can show you.

The name of the game around here is heavy tackle fishing, which is how you'll get acquainted with these waters and the sharks in them.

Chris will provide rods, rigs, and bait. Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Blacktip Shark, Lemon Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Tiger Shark, Bull Shark, Bonnethead Shark, and whatever else takes the bait.

Any Sharks you catch will be released. Groups of up to 2 can join the shark fishing excursions. Spectators are free. You'll be fishing without a boat, so expect to make your way on foot at least part of the time and come dressed for current weather conditions.

Don't hesitate to send Chris a message below with any questions you have, including where to meet on the day of your trip.

Your fishing license for the day is not included, so members of your group may need to buy one. Also, you will need to get your Shark fishing permit course, which is available for free from the FWC. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply.

Be sure to dress in layers and suitable footwear (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen, and sunglasses, no matter the weather. Chris will have water for you, and if you wish to bring your own drinks feel free.

All minors must have adult with them for all trips.

And with that, you're ready to experience the great outdoors in Anna Maria and surrounding areas. So make it happen, with Fishin' the Outdoors!

This is why I love fishing!
4 Hour Trip – Beach Fishing (PM) on September 19, 2025

Fishing with people like this is what brings me back to my love of fishing! There is something so special about getting out there with a knowledgeable, passionate, and excited captain that just wants to see you land some big fish! Will definitely be recommending this trip to my friends, family, and coworkers, for anybody looking to get out there and really enjoy their time on the water with Chris! Cannot recommend enough!
