Reel Time Fishing Charters offers inshore, near shore, and deep sea fishing charters in Bradenton, Florida, fishing from Sarasota to Tampa Bay, including Anna Maria Island and Holmes Beach — genuinely following the fish, wherever they’re biting. Species commonly caught include Permit, Grouper, Snook, Redfish, and a variety of Snapper.
Reel Time specializes in 4, 6, and 8-hour trips, using light and heavy tackle, bottom and drift fishing, trolling, jigging, and spinning to match whatever’s working that day. Every trip includes rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and fishing licenses for the whole group, with the catch cleaned and filleted at the end of the trip for guests wanting to take it home. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks.
Trips run aboard a 29-foot Dusky, originally built in 1987 and restored in 2015, powered by twin 2019 Suzuki 200 HP outboard engines with a max cruising speed of 55 knots, rigged with GPS, VHF radio, fish finder, a live bait tank, an ice-box, a rest bed, and outriggers with downriggers — a spacious fishing machine carrying up to 6 anglers.
Captain Jared Mong is USCG licensed and insured, having grown up in Bradenton and fished the waters around Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, and Tampa Bay since he was a kid — genuinely local knowledge on where to find each target species.
For anglers near Bradenton/Anna Maria Island/Sarasota, Florida looking for a deeply local, versatile inshore, near shore, or deep sea fishing charter, Reel Time Fishing Charters offers a well-equipped operation with Captain Jared Mong.
