About Your Trip

Get ready to explore the scenic waters of Bradenton and Sarasota Beach with Captain Bradley! As a 5th-generation Florida native, Captain Bradley brings a lifetime of local fishing knowledge to every trip, offering you an unforgettable day on the water chasing some of the Gulf Coast’s favorite inshore species.

From the backcountry creeks to the open flats, you'll be targeting hard-fighting Snook, tailing Redfish, and Speckled Trout cruising the grass beds. Whether you're new to the sport or an experienced angler looking to dial in the local bite, Captain Bradley has the expertise and gear to get you hooked up. Light tackle and drift fishing are the name of the game here, providing an exciting and hands-on experience perfect for anglers of all levels.

You'll be fishing aboard a 23’ Sea Pro bay boat, built to navigate the shallow inshore waters with ease while still offering enough space for up to 6 guests. Outfitted with quality rods, reels, and artificial lures, this vessel has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Live bait is also available—just ask Captain Bradley if you’ll be catching it yourself!

This trip is a great option for families too. Kids are more than welcome aboard, and there are life vests available—just be sure to double-check for the right sizes. Bring along some snacks and bottled water to stay energized, and don’t forget sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and a hat to keep you comfortable under the Florida sun. You’re welcome to bring a few drinks as well—just leave the glass bottles and hard liquor at home.

Your fishing license is covered by the charter, so all you need to do is show up and hop aboard. Captain Bradley will also walk you through any harvest regulations and seasonal closures so you can enjoy your catch responsibly.

If you’re looking to experience the Gulf Coast like a local and reel in some top-tier inshore action, a day on the water with Captain Bradley is the perfect way to do it. Let’s fish!
