Book your next trip with Florida Gulf Coast Fishing Charters and find out what the fishing in Bradenton is all about.

These waters are known for Red Grouper, Gag Grouper, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Grunt, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before "Fish on!"

During the trip you might be spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that everyone stays happy and energized!

You'll be dropping lines from a 25' Center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Capt. Matt will supply rods and reels for you. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
