Where Can I Find Information On Jiggs Landing?

Category: Preserves

Jiggs Landing on the Evers Reservoir offers freshwater fishing and canoeing opportunities on the Evers Reservoir and Braden River. The property was purchased in 1944 by Al (Jiggs) and Agnes Metcalf and included a 7-acre piece of property. Their dream was to create a fish camp on the banks of the Braden River and they did so, creating a landmark that served Manatee County for more than 40 years.

Are you an angler who prefers to be out on the water before sunrise?  Preserve hours are limited, but boat ramp access is not.  Purchase your one-time Gate Access Card so you can be out on the water at the time of your preference.  Cards are available for sale at the G.T. Bray Recreation Center for $30/each.  A replacement card is $5/each.

Visit Jiggs Landing Outpost for bait shop, cabin, and boat rental information.

 Address: 6106 63rd St E. Bradenton, FL 34203
