AMI Go Fishing! 

If you’re looking for the best fishing charter experience around Anna Maria Island, book with Captain Thomas Schmidt — you won’t regret it. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Captain Thomas is incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and knows exactly where to go to get you on the fish. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, he makes the trip fun, easy, and successful. His patience and guidance really stood out, and he made sure everyone on board had a great time. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the scenery around Anna Maria Island made the whole experience even better. We caught plenty of fish and made some unforgettable memories out on the water. If you want a professional, friendly, and highly skilled captain who truly cares about your experience, Captain Thomas Schmidt is the one to choose. Highly recommend — easily a 5-star trip!

Thomas was an excellent guide, he put us on fish and was very knowledgeable and friendly. My daughter's boyfriend hooked up with a 6 foot ray and was in for an epic battle! He'd never caught anything bigger than a bluegill before, but Thomas coached him through the fight for almost an hour before the ray was successfully boated. An incredible experience for my daughter's boyfriend and memory for us all!

We had the best time! I have been on fishing charters before with shoulder to shoulder people leaving little room for movement and little attention from guides. Not only was Captain Gunner quick to help when needed, but he joined in and added to our joking around. Our trip wasn't just about catching (I won the contest for who kept bait on the hook longest lol) we laughed, we relaxed, we kissed a few fish, we saw dolphin and enjoyed a beautiful day. We will definitely be booking with Captain Gunner when we visit AMI next - hopefully for longer than just 3 hours.

It started out a little slow but we caught some good bait fish to start out with. Ultimately my 10 yr old son caught a nice SHARK!! That wasn’t the only fish we caught but definitely the highlight of the trip. He was so excited and shaking! Couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience!! Thanks to Captian Thomas!! Big shout out my man!!

Captain Tom was super! Our trip startes out with a slow bite but Captain Tom kept us moving to different spots til we found the Hot Spot! then we started hammering them! He also put into 3 fish that so big they broke our lines!! One of the best days on the water i have ever had! I would love to go out with them again! Highly recommend!!

My family of 6 had a great experience fishing this morning (3 hours). Our captain gave us an education session after every fish we caught. We all caught fish, several per person. We went to 3 different fishing spots and caught different types of fish at each spot. Truly an excellent experience!

Took a couple of young kiddies for their first fishing experience. We had a great afternoon. Captain Thomas was awesome with the kids. Helped them with casting and bait. We caught lots of fish and a 40lb plus nursing shark. Would a 100% recommend and will definitely rebook when we next come back to AMI.

Me my wife and three of my kids absolutely loved this fishing trip. Our youngest boy caught a shark right off the bat and then the rest of us caught lots of other fishes. Captain Tom was so helpful with the fish, bait and directions. Absolutely recommend this for family fun. 5 Stars all day. Thank you guys.

Captain Thomas was a super cool dude! My husband and I had a great time, both caught bonnethead sharks! When you book, its just your group on the boat which makes the experience feel more natural. Easy to communicate with and quick at responses! Definitely would recommend it!

AMI and captain Tim was an awesome experience 👏 asked for what we type of trip we were looking forward to and they delivered!!! I said make memories for the kids and maybe some little sharks!!! See ya next time!!! Ti Capt. Tim knew the sweet spots!!!
