If you decide to spend the day fishing Bradenton’s inshore and backcountry waters, Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, and Permit will be the primary species you’ll be targeting.

This is your trip, you decide how you want to spend the day! The half day trips are popular amongst families with younger kids, as well as anglers that are new to fishing. The full day trip and ¾ day trip are the best value for your dollar, as these longer trips allow Capt. Rick to guide you to a variety of different hotspots. On the full day trips, you can spend the morning testing your skills against the Silver King and spend the afternoon heading off the coast to fill your cooler with snapper fillets!

The trip cost for the day includes unlimited use of Fishy Business’ top of the line Shimano, Daiwa, Penn, and custom Bull Bay rods. All of the bait and lures we’ll be using on your trip are also included. After an action-packed day bending the rods, Capt. Rick Gross will fillet the day’s catch at no additional cost.
