Fishing Charters in Bradenton Beach

The Premier Bradenton Beach Fishing Experience

Bradenton Beach sits on the southern end of Anna Maria Island, where the grass flats of Sarasota Bay, the moving water of Longboat Pass, and the Gulf beaches all meet. Historic Bridge Street and Coquina Beach frame some of the most accessible inshore fishing on the island, and a local fishing guide knows exactly where the bite sets up on each tide.

Captain David White works these southern waters for snook fishing in Bradenton Beach along the mangroves and passes, with seasonal tarpon fishing in Bradenton Beach off the Gulf-side beaches from May through July. Charter fishing in Bradenton Beach, FL is tailored to the conditions and your group’s experience.
