As a full-time Bradenton fishing guide, I spend 200+ days a year on the water. I primarily fish the Manatee River, Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico from Egmont Key and Anna Maria Island, south to Longboat Key and Siesta Key. We fish year round and target different species and use different baits and tactics to ensure clients a successful day on the water no matter the conditions. If you’re looking for an action-packed day of fishing, you’ve found the right Bradenton fishing charter service. I primarily fish for Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Seatrout, Snapper, Jacks, Permit, Pompano, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, Cobia, Grouper, and Sharks. I enjoy taking people of all fishing skill levels out whether you are a beginner or an experienced angler, I will ensure you will be comfortable and have FUN! I encourage kids to come out and fish and I will make sure they will be entertained and have great memories.

On my Bradenton inshore fishing charters , we’ll be fishing the waterways of Tampa Bay and Sarasota Bay on the grassy flats and around the mangroves & oyster bars where the fish are feeding. My inshore fishing adventures primarily target snook, trout, and redfish that are looking for a fight. Other species that we encounter on our inshore fishing charters include flounder, pompano, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, gag grouper, ladyfish, and jack crevalle. We fish with light tackle and use live bait and lures when fishing around the flats found throughout the Sarasota & Tampa Bays. If you’re interested in booking a fishing trip or want to know what’s biting, give me a call so we can get you on the water for a fun day of fishing around Bradenton & Sarasota.

On my Nearshore fishing charters, we’ll travel a couple miles off the beach and may go up to 9 miles into the Gulf of Mexico chasing the bite. I’ll take you to fish structure on the bottom like ledges and rock piles where the large fish are waiting for something good to eat. Fishing these areas, we use a couple different techniques such as dropping baits to the bottom using weights or by trolling plugs behind the fishing boat around these structures to entice pelagic fish that are located higher up in the water. These fishing trips are excellent for kids as it can be continuous fun. We come across Snappers, Groupers, Sharks, Permit, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and More!

I fish with guides extensively in SW Florida. This was my first trip to the Bradenton/Sarasota area. Taylor did an outstanding job of showing me a large number of areas he learned to fish growing up in the area. His boat is well set up, clean, runs dry and shallow enough to get where we needed to. I will certainly fish with him again and recommend him to my friends.

Captain Taylor provided excellent instruction to the fishing novices on our trip and was great with the grandkids. There was nothing he couldn’t handle! He is quite knowledgeable about the area and where to go for catches. We can’t thank him enough for a great time and the delicious redfish he cleaned and fileted for our dinner! Highly recommend!
Captain Taylor was amazing. Knew all the best spots and then some. Was an overall great experience and will return.
What an unforgettable day! Capt Taylor was not only an amazing guide and fisherman, but also was incredible to my kids. He made sure they had an experience that will last a lifetime. And enough fish to last us for months :) Thanks Capt Taylor!!!
We had an amazing fishing experience! My 6 year old son had the best time and caught the biggest fish of the trip. Highly recommended!
Had an awesome time! Very nice boat and the guide was amazing. We take charters every year and he has been the best one yet, puts us right on the fish!
Taylor our captain put us on fish right away. My family had a great time catching snook, snapper and many more types of fish. The boat was well equipped. The best thing I noticed Captain Taylor had a smile on his face all day…and so did we.
You can’t go wrong with Captain Taylor Cowieson. He knew where this fish were hitting, his boat was immmaculately kept, bait was fresh and lively, and the equipment worked perfectly! We caught many fish on our half-day charter. We loved every minute! BONUS…he picked us up at our house on a canal on the river! First rate all the way around! Thank you Captain Taylor!
Booked 1/2 day trip for me and father-in-law. Taylor was great. Put us into fish right away and helped refine our fishing skills with tips and tricks throughout. Good conversation, good fishing, great time. Would book again in a heartbeat. Actually asked him if he had the following day open because we would have booked again for the next day.
Capt Taylor was laid back and put us on the fish. Nice boat, 4 is the right number of people, we did 5 and he made it work and we still all felt like we got plenty of fishing. Cleaned and packed our fish at the dock, good conversation and knew his stuff.
(His recipe for snapper tacos was bang on the money. Huge hit back at the house! Nailed it.)
My Son, husband and husband best friend went out on a charter and had an amazing time. It was the first time for my son and he caught the biggest fish I had ever seen. It will be one of the highlights of his life. Thank you for showing my boys a great time.
CAPT. TAYLOR DOES IT ALL!! Let me tell you about my experience with capt. Taylor. First, he puts you on FISH!!! Not only was he professional leading up to the charter once we decided we were going with him he made it about us! He provides rods reels and grape four lokos. My nephew was ecstatic to catch snook, red fish and a tarpon! I can’t imagine fishing with anyone else. Capt. Taylor is now in my phone and will be booked every time I want to go get tight on them lines!
