Spend the day with Strikeforce Charters and see what's biting in Bradenton Beach!

These waters are known for Skipjack, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Hogfish, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Jack Crevalle, Pompano, Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Mark also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Strikeforce Charters welcomes kids aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You're welcome to bring snacks!

Capt. Mark operates a 25' Sea Hunt center console with room for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

You can't go wrong when you bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks available on board.

Your trip with Strikeforce Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Birthday Fishing
Half Day Trip on May 24, 20262 adults

Captain Mark took great care of us! We hooked a fish on the first cast and it was amazing from there! Bottom fishing on a nearshore reef followed by salt flat fly rod and spin rod casting…we caught a number spotted sea trout among the others. Great first gulf fishing experience!
