Your Local Anna Maria Island Fishing Guide
Fishing Anna Maria Island with a local guide puts you on the fish right where Tampa Bay meets the Gulf of Mexico. With over two decades guiding these waters, Captain David White knows the calm grass flats, mangrove shorelines, and Gulf passes — from Bean Point at the island’s northern tip down to Coquina Beach in the south — that make Anna Maria Island, FL one of the most productive inshore fisheries in the state.
Snook, Redfish, and Spotted Seatrout thrive in the protected backwaters year-round, and tarpon fishing in Anna Maria Island lights up the beaches and passes — including the legendary grounds around Egmont Key and Passage Key — from May through July. Whether you’re after light-tackle snook fishing in the mangroves or a big-game battle with the Silver King, a guided fishing trip on Anna Maria Island is tailored to the day’s tides, the bait, and your goals on the water.

Easy Access from Anna Maria Island
There’s no travel to think about here — our home dock is right on the island. Every guided trip launches from the public boat ramp at 6398 Marina Way in Holmes Beach, just down the road from the Kingfish Boat Ramp, so you’re minutes from the dock to the flats and out fishing in no time.
