From the start of my fishing career I have enjoyed taking friends and family out on the water and once I received my Captain's license I was able to start sharing my enjoyment for fishing and teaching my clients about fishing. My favorite style is fishing the flats with live bait (pilchards) to chum the fish in close to the boat.

    Great Experience - Will definitely book again!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing trip with Captain Taylor, and it was an outstanding experience. Taylor did a great job, moving us to different spots if the fish weren't biting, ensuring we had a productive day on the water. We caught over 50 fish in just four hours, including a stingray that put up a great fight. I went on this trip with my three boys, aged 15, 12, and 10, and Taylor was fantastic with them. He showed patience and a good sense of humor, making the experience enjoyable and educational for all of us. Captain Taylor's knowledge of the waters and fishing spots, combined with his professional yet friendly demeanor, made the trip memorable. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an authentic fishing adventure!

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Snook
    Spanish Mackerel

    Squared away Captain

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 2 adults

    As you know, when you book a charter with someone you’ve never met or fished with, it’s a roll of the dice. Somehow bad captains have high reviews and they turn out to be duds. Captain Taylor was fantastic! Knew his stuff, knew where to go and has the perfect boat and set up for a great day on the water. We caught snapper, trout, mackerel and snooker. Highly recommend to friends and family.

    Reported catch:
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)
    Mangrove Snapper
    Snook
    Speckled Trout
    Response from Captain

    Thank you for the kind words. I really enjoyed fishing with you guys. Hopefully see you again in the future!!

What's biting with Fishing Charters With Capt. Taylor Cowieson in Bradenton

Inshore action is all about Drum, whether it's Red or Black. The peak season is over, but that only means fewer people on rivers and lakes that are still full of fish. Out there, you could snatch a wide array of bottom dwellers.
