Palmetto Fishing Charters
From the Manatee River to Tampa Bay — Palmetto fishing charters with trusted local captains.
Palmetto sits right where the Manatee River meets Tampa Bay, and that's prime fishing ground. Our charters work the river mouth, the bay flats, and up toward Terra Ceia and the Skyway, targeting whatever's biting best with the tide.
Snook, redfish, and trout hold along the shorelines and grass year-round, with black drum and snapper around structure and tarpon rolling through the bay in summer. We bring the boat, bait, tackle, and licenses — you just bring the crew.
Getting to the Boat from Palmetto
All trips depart our marina at 6398 Marina Way, Holmes Beach, FL — 20–30 minutes (around 12 miles) from downtown Palmetto.
Why Palmetto Anglers Fish With Us
Palmetto anglers come to us for captains who fish this water daily and know how the Manatee River and Tampa Bay fish on each stage of the tide — from the river mouth to the Terra Ceia flats to the Skyway's shadow lines.
It's a short, easy run to the boat and you're back the same afternoon — a great fit for families, visitors staying river-side, and locals who'd rather fish than fight traffic.
