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

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.

Great beginning charter for those looking for fun family experience. May be a bit of a rough ride for small ones and elderly.

It was good fishing, it goes without saying though, that it will vary from season to season. It was my first time fishing in Bradenton Beach, but I will be doing again in a few months.

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

Family of 3, for fishing. Had an awesome experience, tried 3 different locations and caught enough fish to loose track of how many kinds. Caught a shark and had two others on the hook but couldn’t reel them in. Captain Louis was kind, reassuring and went out of his way to provide a great experience. Would definitely book with him again.

Despite windy conditions, Captain Bradley took my 17-year-old son and me on a 4-hour inshore trip and we had an amazing experience! He was great with communication leading up to the trip and throughout our time on the water. He found some great spots and we caught lots of snook and a redfish including one keeper of each. If we vacation here in the future, we will definitely look up Run N Gun Fishing Charters again.

Captain Austin is easily the best. Been fortunate to have fished many charters, and AMI Sportsfishing Charters stood out. Captain Austin is very knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and a great personality. We got on the fish right away in less than ideal conditions. No messing around getting bait fish during your trip. Captain Austin comes prepared with live bait in the livewell. Don't waste your time trying to compare AMI Sportsfishing to other charters, they are simply the best.

We had a great trip, weather was a little windy which made it challenging but Captain Nick worked hard to find us fish. Lovely to see Manatees swimming in the open water too!

Went out with Colby who put us on the trout and mackerel. He put us on them immediately. Caught them for over 2 hours nonstop before trying for some snook and reds. It slowed down but still got a few along with other species. Probably caught around a dozen species. Didn't land anything huge but had several big enough to make the drag rip. I Would highly recommended Colby with AMI fishing!

Anthony was a great captain! He really wanted to get us some fish to take home and much of what we were catching wasn’t something we could keep so he continued to try additional locations and ultimately kept us out longer until we got on the fish! Would highly recommend him!
