Bradenton Fishing
Bradenton, Florida offers fishermen some inshore and offshore fishing opportunities. Some of the common fish caught in this area are barracuda, snapper, king mackerel, grouper, shark, cobia, triggerfish, tuna, dolphin, amberjack, tarpon, permit and more.
Bradenton, located on the south side of Tampa Bay, offers quick access to excellent fishing areas of Tampa. Nearby, the Skyway Bridge provides plenty of structure for grouper, snapper and many other types of bottom fish to go along with snook, shark, blue runners and more. With shallow waters close by to the deep shipping channels, there are plenty of ledges to target grouper on the bottom.
Offshore fishing is available, but you may want to consider where the charter boat takes off from. There are many charters in the Tampa Bay area and it may be worth your time to drive farther in your car to find a charter that takes off a little closer to its offshore fishing grounds. Once you get into the boat, you are paying for their time. If you can cut down 20 to 30 minutes of a boat ride, you will have more time fishing.
