I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing charter with Captain Taylor out of Bradenton, Florida and let me tell you, it was an experience I won’t soon forget! My wife, myself, and two friends feel lucky that we picked Capt Taylor.

From the moment we stepped aboard the boat, Captain Taylor was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help us catch some fish. He took the time to show us how to handle the rod and reel and gave us tips on how to reel in the big one.

Captain Taylor’s knowledge of the local fishing spots was impressive. He knew exactly where to take us to find the best fish and even shared some fascinating facts about the marine life in the area. It was clear that he’s spent countless hours on the water and truly loves what he does.

Not only was Captain Taylor incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but he was also very courteous. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. He was patient with us and never made us feel rushed or pressured.

We caught our limit of sea trout and red fish and afterwards went to a nearby “hook and cook” restaurant and enjoyed some of our catch.

Overall, I highly recommend Captain Taylor for anyone looking for a fantastic fishing charter experience. His expertise, friendly demeanor, and passion for fishing make him an excellent choice for anglers of all levels. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

P.S. The included picture was not staged. I was genuinely that excited!

Was looking to organize a trip for a couple friends and started searching for a charter. Came across Capt. Taylor and had solid 5 star reviews. So pulled the trigger. Our group started off and got to the first spot, within the hour all three of us had easily caught a dozen nice sized trout each.

Then on to sheepshead.Taylor knew the spot for these. After a few spots we went on to a few more spots up the river, each of us landed 6-10 snook and a few other species here and there. Taylor did not disappoint. Every spot lines tight!

In all the group landed about 100 fish and constantly had action all day.

I have fished inshore for years and have used guides and Taylor was up there with the best, of which my go to retired 5 years ago so have been on the lookout to find a new Capt.  Taylor has definitely impressed and is now my first choice. Can’t wait to book another trip later.

Had an overall great time. Unfortunately did not catch any keeper fish, but the action was good.

Just back from an excursion on the river and the bay with Captain Taylor. Taylor is an excellent laid-back guide with great local knowledge of multiple places to keep the lines in the water. On our trip we hooked mostly snook and sea trout and the latter Taylor filleted for us when the day was done. Super friendly with a great boat and equipment we’d highly recommend chartering with Taylor and looking forward to doing so on our next trip back in the region.

Captain Taylor was the best skipper we have ever fished with. We have fished multiple times up and down Florida’s Gulf coast, in San Diego, and numerous times on multiple Great Lakes. My son and I went with my friend and his son, and I was impressed right off the bat when Taylor asked everybody’s names and remembered them. My kid worked as a first mate for a captain previously and he distinctly remembers this captain’s lack of effort toward personal connection/remembrance of names. My kid and I caught numerous fish species we have not caught before, mostly because we have spent more time out in the Gulf than inshore like this trip. Snook, sea trout, jacks, grouper-new stuff for us and really cool. So, go with Taylor, a young guy who has already established a name for himself as a fisherman and has nowhere else to go but for even bigger fish and heavier livewells.
