My husband and I had a wonderful day out fishing, we caught Bonita, Mackerel, Grouper and even a small shark. Captain Anthony went above and beyond to ensure we had some great catches and made sure anything we kept was in compliance with the law. I was a complete novice but Captain Anthony was patient, knowledgeable, and a great teacher. Would definitely recommend this trip. We will be booking with him again!

We had a great day catching with Captain Anthony! I say catching because it was more catching than fishing. Within 10 minutes of hitting our first spot we were on the fish. Captain Anthony was a great guide. He was very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the various species we caught while providing great guidance on how to get the most out of our experience.

We caught at least 40 fish (about 10 different types of fish) between 4 adults on our half day nearshore charter. We were able to keep 16 of the catch based on the size and what was in season. Captain Anthony even keep us out past out time to catch the coveted Hogfish. Thankfully it paid off and we landed a keeper.

He cleaned and bagged our keepers once we got back to the dock. We cooked them up that night and had the freshest most tasty fish dip and fish tacos I’ve ever had. We took home Hogfish, Mango Snapper, Grunts, and Mackerel.

If you are looking for a fishing charter in Anna Maria / Bradenton Beach stop searching and book a charter with Captain Anthony and So Salty Charters. You won’t be disappointed!!

Had a great time and Captain Anthony did a great job of explaining the trip as it unfolded and coached us well when needed. He definitely knew what he was doing and had spots to get the large fish as well as table fare. The best thing about this trip, and Captain Anthony, was that it was always about our experience. Never once did we feel it was a money-making affair for him. We arrived a little early and he said we could head on out. When the trip was about over I mentioned it was too bad we didn’t get a shark at the first stop and he said we could stop on the way back in and try again. We didn’t get the shark but ended up with a little extra unplanned time, which was greatly appreciated. You can tell Captain Anthony loves what he does and takes pleasure in making sure you enjoy your day as well. I highly recommend him and hope to book with him again next time we’re down this way.
