Fishing in Bradenton Beach

If you find yourself on Anna Maria Island and you’re not sure where to cast your line, booking a Bradenton Beach fishing charter may be just what you need. This is where you go when you want to get a taste of excellent surf fishing, enjoy superb bay fishing, or even head out into the bluewater to chase pelagics. Whatever your choice may be, you’ll find it here!

Because it has a bit of everything, Bradenton Beach is a good choice for anglers of all skill levels. Large Snook from the surf, Redfish, Tarpon, and Spotted Seatrout in the flats, Snapper, Grouper, and King Mackerel on the reefs – they’re all there for the taking. Offshore enthusiasts can target Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, and even Marlin and Sailfish in the summer months.

Bradenton Beach fishing charters are a foolproof way to get to the best bite, especially if you’re new to the area. To best get the taste of this fishery, you might want to start off with a half day nearshore trip. However, if you’re looking to go after specific targets or chase trophies offshore, it’s best to consider extending your adventure to six hour or full day outings.

Finding the charter best suited to your goals shouldn’t be a hard task in Bradenton Beach. Most charter boats congregate in the Bradenton Beach Marina from where they have quick access to the ocean via the Longboat Pass. Start your search here and find the captain to take you exploring these pristine waters, with beautiful Anna Maria Island as your backdrop!

Rules & Regulations

Your local guide will keep you in the loop about regulations, and provide all the gear and licenses you need. If you’re planning on testing the bite from the shore, make sure to get informed beforehand.

What anglers said about fishing in Bradenton Beach

Book your trip as early as possible, maybe even before you arrive. Morning trips are great because it’s easier to get live bait, but this evening trip did not disappoint. We filled the cooler with Sheepshead, Trout and White Grunts.

First timers, I would definitely recommend you research the captains and vessels before making a decision on who to book with while in Bradenton. I did and it led me to Capt. Louis. He's knowledgeable, friendly and will work with even the most novice of anglers to guarantee a memorable experience. But above all, have fun!

Captain Louis went out of his way to provide a high quality tailored fishing trip, he taught us how to fish and took us to several hot spots. My son caught so many fish he lost count. Smiles all around for the adventure. We all loved it. We would book with him in the future.

Find a guide who knows the water and has experience with landing different styles of fish. It's important that they have proper working equipment and fishing tackle. Make sure they have a contingency plan if the boat has issues. Make sure you have bug spray and sun protection. Make sure you have the proper fishing license and Florida wildlife book for information on size limits and creel limits.

Wait until the water warms up March to November also check and see if the boat has a bathroom what they are going to use for bait get exactly how many miles you are going out for deep-sea fishing What fish they are going to target
