Inshore Fishing Charters on Anna Maria Island, FL
Inshore fishing charters on Anna Maria Island — Bean Point snook, Passage Key mackerel blitzes, winter sheepshead at Cortez Bridge. Half days from $450.
What Makes Anna Maria Island Different.
Anna Maria Island fishes like a crossroads: Tampa Bay pours past Bean Point on every tide, and the island's grass flats, bridges, and beach trough hold fish year-round. Our inshore trips from Anna Maria launch from the rebuilt Kingfish Boat Ramp — one of the best in the ramp directory.
We pick the day's water: snook in the Bean Point rip and along the beach trough May through September, redfish on the flats behind the island, and Spanish mackerel blitzing bait at Passage Key Inlet in April and again in October. Winter moves the game to sheepshead on the Cortez Bridge pilings.
It's all light tackle and live bait in water rarely deeper than twelve feet.
The passes and inlets reference explains why Passage Key turns on, and the tides guide tells you when. Half days from $450 with everything included — the first two hours of moving tide are the money hours.
