    Top Tier Experience!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 5 adults • 1 child

    If you are looking for a top-tier fishing experience near Holmes Beach, look no further than Captain Matt Kissell at Florida Gulf Coast Fishing Charters. We did a 4-hour trip and the action was absolutely non-stop. Matt had us on the fish almost immediately—we didn't waste a second of our time. By the time we headed back to the docks, we had caught ** over 60 fish** in our group of five. We were pulling in Sea Bass, Flounder and several other species throughout the morning. Aside from his expert knowledge of the local spots, Matt was incredibly professional and friendly. Most importantly, he was fantastic with the kids. He kept them engaged, safe, and excited the entire time, which made the trip stress-free for me. If you want a captain who is hardworking, patient, and knows exactly where the fish are hiding, book with Matt. We will definitely be back!

    Epic Fishing Trip!

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore • 6 adults

    Great trip out on the water with the boys. Capain Matt took us right to hot spots where we easily caught a ton of Snapper and Grouper. Fish were biting as fast as we could drop lines in the water! We had mixed skill levels in the group and everyone had a great time. Definitely would book again, this was the best value compared to all the other charters we looked at.

    Florida Gulf Coast Fishing Charters for the Win!!

    4 Hour Trip – Offshore • 3 adults

    Took a sunday trip with Matt and it did not dissapoint!! He was ready when we got to launch and wasted No time getting us on the water. He was knowledgeable about the fish we caught , kept us baited up and lines in the water, could not have been more pleased with this young and aspiring Captain. Everythig was supplied and the boat was great, highly recommended getting on the water with Florida Gulf Coast Fishing Charters!!!

What's biting with Florida Gulf Coast Fishing Charters in Bradenton

It's Wahoo time again! They're passing by in all shapes and sizes and both local and tourist anglers will have a blast reeling them in. Inshore, Reds and Black Drum are hungry and waiting. You should also check out lakes and rivers for some Bass.
