What anglers said about fishing in Manatee County
What anglers said about fishing in Manatee County
For first time anglers booking a trip May - Sept. Prepare for the sun. Bring drinks that keep your body hydrated. Prepare with seasickness meds. The fishing is great but if someone on the boat gets sick, it can change the experience or shorten it. A little preparation will make it a great trip.

Captain Jeff was patient and found us fish after trying a few spots. He also is knowledgeable about the area and found marine life including manatees.

Party Boat Fishing – AMI
Devan mentioned that results depend on time of day and the tides, that the best time to fish is as he tide rolls out. I think next time we will try a morning trip with low tide.

We took the 6 hour trip and that was perfect for us this time. It was such a great experience that next time we will be planning a longer excursion. If you love to fish, take the longer excursion and make a day of it.

Reel Fun Charter
Not applicable. The hurricane disrupted everything. We were launched from a boat site over in Bradenton. We fished inland in many different areas between Bradenton and Ana Maria Island. We did love the solution as Devon was able to find different locations that had Fish.

In shore 1/2 day trip provides opportunity to catch a lot of fish, keep a few (due to size restrictions), and to move around to several locations if one or more are slow. Great option for those who struggle with motion sickness. Sarasota Bay tends to be calm, beautiful, and fun.

This fishing was great! No shortage of fish on our trip. September is out of season for red snapper, but lots of other good fish to catch.

Book the trip! It is well worth your time! Just bring your lunch and sunscreen and the crew will handle the rest! The equipment is top notch and the boat is outstanding! I was highly impressed with everything especially how the Captain responded back to our questions immediately! They will have your party ready to go and know where everything on the boat is! You won’t be disappointed!

Mornings get hot quick, but nights can get thunderstorms, so prepare accordingly. I haven’t fished any other time of year here to compare.
