About Your Trip
Get ready for an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Nate, launching out of Holmes Beach and exploring the pristine, fish-rich waters around Anna Maria Island! Whether you’re planning a fun outing with the family or bringing along a crew of friends, Captain Nate will make sure your trip is packed with excitement, great fishing, and plenty of memories to take home.
These waters are known for their vibrant inshore and nearshore fisheries, and
Captain Nate knows exactly where to go to put you on fish. Depending on the season and conditions, you’ll target hard-fighting and acrobatic species like Snook, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Cobia, and King Mackerel. From cruising the calm backcountry and flats to venturing out to nearby reefs and wrecks, there’s no shortage of action in these waters.
You’ll fish aboard Captain Nate’s 23’ Hanson bay boat, a wide and stable platform that comfortably fits up to six anglers. Whether you’re casting lines with the kids or locked into a drag-screaming fight with a big Kingfish, there’s plenty of room to move around and enjoy the ride. The boat is equipped with top-notch features like a GPS, fishfinder, wireless trolling motor, live bait well, and ice box to keep your drinks and catch chilled. There’s even snorkeling gear onboard if you want to hop in and cool off between bites!
Throughout your 4 to 8-hour adventure, Captain Nate will tailor the trip to your goals and skill level. You can expect to use a variety of techniques including light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, and even handlining if you’re up for something a little different. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or brand new to fishing, Nate is patient, knowledgeable, and ready to guide you every step of the way.
Your trip includes rods, reels, terminal tackle, lures, live bait, fishing licenses, and catch cleaning and filleting at the end of the day. Snacks and drinks are also provided, but feel free to bring along your own favorites—just give the captain a heads-up.
From serene mangrove channels to action-packed reef edges, there’s no better way to experience the waters of Anna Maria Island. Come aboard with Captain Nate and discover just how much fun fishing in Florida’s Gulf Coast can be!
