Whether you're looking for a tasty treat for the table or you just want to experience the area's fantastic natural surroundings, you've found the right captain.

Captain Taylor operates a 24' center console, which was custom-built by T-Craft Boatworks in Florida. Designed specifically for the local waterways, she provides a comfortable ride even in choppy waters and can access extremely shallow areas with ease.

Perfect for accommodating up to 5 anglers, the boat is rigged with safety equipment and modern navigational electronics, which include a GPS, a VHF radio, and a fish finder.

Depending on the season, you will be going for Redfish, Flounder, Tarpon, Speckled Trout, Pompano, Sheepshead, Jack Crevalle, Mangrove Snapper, King Mackerel, Snook…and the list just keeps going! Whether you want to fish for the whole day or just for a few hours, Captain Taylor will design an itinerary to suit your needs.

Fishing Charters With Capt. Taylor Cowieson will provide you with rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, and licenses. The captain will send your catch home cleaned, filleted, and ready to go straight into the frying pan. Just bring your own food, drinks, and the desire to catch fish.
We can do pick-up at multiple other locations, the most common one being the Anna Maria Island. Then you're set for a thrilling day out!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 30, 20242 adults2 children
I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing trip with Captain Taylor, and it was an outstanding experience. Taylor did a great job, moving us to different spots if the fish weren't biting, ensuring we had a productive day on the water. We caught over 50 fish in just four hours, including a stingray that put up a great fight. I went on this trip with my three boys, aged 15, 12, and 10, and Taylor was fantastic with them. He showed patience and a good sense of humor, making the experience enjoyable and educational for all of us. Captain Taylor's knowledge of the waters and fishing spots, combined with his professional yet friendly demeanor, made the trip memorable. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an authentic fishing adventure!
