On A Mission Fishing Charters Is a fishing guide service based out of west central Florida. We fish the waters of Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico. The different seasons we experience throughout the year dictates what we primarily fish for on our fishing charters.

Captain Taylor Cowieson will be your captain on your fishing adventure. Captain Taylor spends around 300 days a year out on the water. He is very knowledgeable of the waters of Tampa bay, Sarasota bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Captain Taylor will pick you up at marinas and boat ramps in Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, and Sarasota making it easy to meet guests close to wherever they choose to stay.

Youwill be fishing in a beautiful 23ft Andros built by Andros Boatworks outfitted for all of the different types of fishing we do throughout the year. She is powered by a 200hp Yamaha engine. She has all the navigational and safety features on board.

We provide all the rods, reels, line, hooks, artificial baits and terminal tackle needed for a successful day of fishing. We will provide you with a fishing license! If you choose to keep what you catch, we will store it in the cooler aboard the boat and we will clean and fillet the fish at the end of the trip.

On our inshore fishing charters, we will be fishing the bays of Tampa Bay and Sarasota Bay on the grass flats and around the mangroves & oyster bars. During our inshore adventures we primarily fish for snook, trout, and redfish. Other species that we encounter on our inshore fishing charters include flounder, pompano, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, gag grouper, ladyfish, and jack crevalle. We fish with light tackle and use live bait and lures. A nice thing about fishing inshore is that we are always within 10-20 minutes of a restroom. Some of the best inshore fishing occurs in the spring and fall with these transition periods have fish very hungry and on the move.

On our Nearshore fishing charters, we fish a couple miles off the beach out to 9 miles into the Gulf of Mexico. We fish on the bottom like ledges and rock piles. Fishing these areas, we use a couple different techniques such as dropping baits to the bottom using weights or by trolling plugs behind the boat around these structures to entice pelagic fish that are suspended higher up in the water. These fishing charters are great for kids as it can be nonstop fun. We come across Snappers, Groupers, Sharks, Permit, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia and more! We fish with light tackle, medium-heavy tackle and trolling setups. We also offer hand line for goliath grouper.

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)
Captain Taylor was absolutely amazing! So accommodating, considerate, knowledgeable, patient and really knew his stuff! Coming from Wisconsin we wanted to see every and all first and he lived up to this request! We did not feel rushed at any part of our trip. He was an amazing teacher for those of us who haven’t fished before. And he loved answering all of our questions and made the entire experience so memorable and FUN! He knew of many great spots that allowed us all to catch many many different kinds of fish including puffer fish and toad fish! We saw dolphins, little sharks and stingrays too! Can’t wait for another trip back to flordia to enjoy a trip with him again!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)
Captain Taylor Cowieson is a fantastic guide! I am so glad I chose him for our family fishing trip! He had us on the fish within the first 15 minutes of our trip! We were getting bites and fish with almost every cast! We had a blast fishing with him. We also got to see several dolphins which made my granddaughter super happy, just an added bonus for the kids! We caught well over 60 fish. Not all are keepers because of the season, but we got a nice mess of fish to bring back to cook. I don’t think any of the non-keepers could have been tastier than the Spanish mackerel and the sea trout we got to keep! Captain Taylor’s boat was very nice and well kept! We all were very comfortable! Captain Taylor was extremely nice and we enjoyed chatting with him. He also was excellent with the kids! He is extremely knowledgeable about the fish and the area! We will definitely be fishing with him again on our next trip to AMI. Thanks for a awesome day!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)
My Daughter and I had a magnificent experience with Taylor. While we hooked a nice Snook on the first cast and ultimately dozens throughout the day, our takeaway was what a nice man he is and a perfect Gentleman. Other reviewers spoke of how much they enjoyed just spending time with him as we will agree but he took a tremendous interest in educating us on all aspects of the area we fished, the marine life, tackle, boats and the history of the Bay. I have fished with easily 20 plus Captains and Taylor instantly rose to the top of my list. Our first conversation was about the safety equipment on board which was tremendously appreciated and there wasn’t more than a few minutes of silence between interesting discussion and laughter for the next 4 hours.
