Pier Fishing When the original wooden bridge to Anna Maria Island was replaced with a draw bridge, the island side of the bridge was retained to create a fishing pier. The restaurant was added later and has become one of Manatee County's most popular eating spots.
The City Pier features tremendous views and great fishing. Live bait, supplies and tackle will be available when the new bait shop opens this summer.
We offer inshore, nearshore, offshore, and tarpon charters in Tampa Bay and the surrounding waters. Three boats offer a variety of fishing packages for all ages and skill levels. Don't feel like fishing? We offer boating excursions, snorkeling adventures, day cruises to Egmont and Shell Islands, paddle board excursions, and incredible Tampa Bay sunsets.
