Captain Nate’s Fishing Charters

Captain Nate is your local go-to fishing guide in Anna Maria Island, Holmes Beach, and Bradenton. Capt. Nate is a Florida native and lifelong fisherman. He tailors his services to all types of anglers, from novice to pro, and invites you, your family, and friends on a trip to create lasting memories.

Capt. Nate offers all techniques on his trips, including bottom fishing, trolling, drifting, fly fishing, flounder gigging, and more. Please note, fly fishing, gigging, bow fishing, and spearfishing require you to bring your own gear. For all other techniques, you’ll be provided with top-notch Bull Bay Rods and Daiwa reels.

Some of your targets may seasonally include Cobia, Blacktip Shark, Grouper, Snapper, Flounder, Snook, Sheepshead, and Redfish. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to catch Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Spanish Mackerel, and Tarpon.

If you are within a reasonable drive (by water) from one of our normal pickup locations and the location of your dock is a reasonable distance from where we will be fishing, we can certainly pick you up at your dock.

We have a few boat ramps that we prefer. We use different ones based on the time of year and based on where the fish have been biting best nearest to your charter date. You can check out possible pickup locations here…
