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.

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

Weather is hot fishing is hotter. Water and sunscreen are your friends. Book early or you maybe stuck on the beach. High chance of bringing some home so have time and place to cookem up

Book with someone experienced and has been in the area for a while. They can be a better resource than just for fishing.

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.

Take sunscreen and a long sleeved shirt. Be prepared for a rough ride if you are in a smaller boat. Ours was probably about 25 feet. Was not expecting it to be so rough. Well worth it though.

It was my first time fishing out of Bradenton. I would recommend it to everyone.
