Book your next trip with Saltbound Adventures and find out what the fishing in Bradenton is all about. With Captain Andy at the helm, with 14 years of coast guard experience, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Black Drum, Cobia, Red Grouper, Grunt, Hogfish, Jack Crevalle, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Permit, Pompano, Sheepshead, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, and more with any luck. You can expect to do some spinning, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Andy also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

You'll find yourself aboard a 25' Carolina Skiff 258 DLV center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Andy will supply rods and reels for you. Live bait will be provided. If you are looking to fish with artificial lures, feel free to message the Captain.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, 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.

Don't leave home without sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and snacks. Waters are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Saltbound Adventures!

Catching not just fishing

4 Hour Trip (PM) on March 26, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

Andy had us on the fish the whole time. We got 4-5 different species.  He also really knows his birds.  We saw dolphins and manatee.  The kids loved it, and Andy was great with them, calling ahead to make sure he had the right sized life jackets.  There was a time or two that all four of us had a fish on the line and he ran around like a mad man, rebaiting our hooks and landing fish.   He cleaned and filleted our fish.  We kept some sea trout and made ceviche that night, and seatrout piccata.  Delicious.  His pricing was great and he was responsive to texts and even called me as we walked towards the boat, so we didn't have to look for him.  He was also 10 minutes early.  Great guide

Snook on the hook!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on April 18, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Andy was excellent!
He put us on snook immediately after a run over Palma Sola Bay.
He already had the livewell full of baits and ready to go….
Texted me at 7:00 and said if we were ready, so was he….
We had a grandson, two son in laws and myself ready to fish.
Captain Andy kept our hooks baited and ready for bites.
Andy’s boat is top shelf with a comfortable ride and plenty of room for everyone to cast.
Got back to the dock and now its time for a nap!
thanks again to Captain Andy and Saltbound Fishing Charters!

Great trip with Saltbound Adventures!!!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 31, 2025 • 5 adults

Chartered a 4 hour trip for our family with Saltbound Adventures.  We had a great experience and would recommend to anyone interested to do some inshore fishing in the Bradenton area.  Things I specifically liked: 1) Captain Andy put us on the fish!  Caught a variety of species and between 5 anglers on board, everyone caught several fish.  2) Captain was highly knowledgeable about the fish, tackle we were using and the area. 3) we booked last minute due to another captain cancelling our charter - Captain Andy went above and beyond to shift his schedule around to accommodate us on short notice. So glad it worked out to take our trip with Saltbound Adventures!  A blessing in disguise!  I’ll be back to fish with Saltbound Adventures again!!

Six hour inshore with Captain Andy

6 Hour Trip – Inshore on August 18, 2025

We've fished with several different captains in the Sarasota area, Captain Andy is the best. I leave it up to him whether we do inshore or near shore. Just take us where the fish are. Started with Snapper to get some fish in the cooler. We could see hundreds of fish, but the bite was slow thanks to a momma and baby dolphin that circled the boat. Moved on to redfish and the bite was crazy. Our party of four had multiple triples in a couple hours. We will definitely be back.
