    A Great Experience with A Great Captain

    Half Day Trip – Nearshore3 adults

    I and my two out of town friends had a great experience with Captain Stephen Woodbury of Chummy Fishing Charters. All was very easy from booking through FishBookers to meeting the Captain on time. While the wind and tide made for rough waters at times, Captain Woodbury took us to calmer locations. We were excited by the variety of fish we caught and had a great time. We appreciated the Captain’s knowledge of locations and identifying the fish with which we weren’t familiar. We highly recommend Captain Woodbury and Chummy Fishing Charters for your fishing adventure.

    Great Trip!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore2 adults1 child

    We had an excellent trip today with Captain Steven Woodbury—super knowledgeable, patient, and on the fish. We brought in bluefish, ladyfish, jack, a fluke, even a bonnethead shark and a catfish. He kept things fun and smooth all day. Highly recommend. And then, just when we thought the day was over, something big showed up. The one that got away, still out there.

    It was too windy to go outside so we stayed around inlets and islands and found some fun fishing. Caught a couple of excellent fish and some surprises. All fun! Captain Steve was great and kept our lines baited and moving along smoothly.

What's biting with Chummy Fishing Charters in Bradenton

In September, head to the Bradenton rivers, because the freshwater action is too good to miss. Crappie, Bass, Catfish, and Bream are the most common catches. Offshore, you can get Wahoo, Amberjack, and of course, King Mackerel.
