I took my brother out yesterday for an early morning Topwater lure run. Excellent morning as we caught three redfish on top water and a few snook as well, including a 28 1/2 inch one!

Fall is coming and the fishing continues to get better! The water temps are cooling down and the fish are on the move. Snook, Redfish, SeaTrout, and Mangrove Snapper are everywhere right now and we are having great days of fishing for these guys. Big schools of spawning bull redfish are starting to show themselves on the flats here in Sarasota and one things for sure, they are hungry! Come join us to get on a trip of a lifetime with family or friends.

Fishing has been pretty steady even though we have water temperatures in the high 80s. Today the guest, a non-fisherman, brought in a 32-inch Snook off the flats today! What a great find this time of year. I have also seen plenty of red fish this last week and the speckled sea trout bite is still hot as usual. No live bait needed for the Speckled SeaTrout, as they will hit soft plastics and hard Subsurface Baits as long as you work them correctly.

The redfish bite in the back bays of Southwest Florida is starting to pick up and will only get better through the end of October. Plenty of breeder snook can be found in the passes and along the beaches. Bait has been plentiful on the grass flats which is a good place to work artificial lures for trout. Tarpon can still be found but time is running out on the 2022 season.

Inshore fishing in sarasota continues to remain very good. We are bringing home limits of mangrove snapper that are finishing out their spawn, the snapper will continue to bite for the next few weeks as we transition into our fall pattern. Snook are starting to make their way back into the bay and are transitioning getting ready to head back into the creeks and rivers. We are catching decent size snook at the higher stages of the tide around mangroves. Shots at juvenile Tarpon are being had early in the morning as they roll on the surface. Spotted sea trout...

Spotted sea trout are starting to make good showings on the edges of deeper grass flats, some smaller schools of Spanish mackerel and bluefish are also around the deeper grass flats. We are catching plenty of live white bait in the morning and that has proven to be key for a successful trip.

Hey David,
We are deep into summer here and the water is hot. Our customers have been enjoying catching Snook, Mangrove Snapper and Jacks in our passes and along our beaches. We have also been getting lucky with the Trout in the bay along our grass flats. The key has been finding the cooler water and schools of bait fish.

Summer fishing has been in full swing here in Sarasota, Florida. been busy as ever! Our customers continue to enjoy targeting Snook, Trout and Redfish in our passes and along our beaches. A highlight lately has been our Mangrove Snapper fishing, they have really started to steal the show with their wonderful table fare. Our Summer Tarpon migration is still going strong with large numbers of Tarpon congregating during the outgoing tides in the passes along Siesta Key, Lido Key and Longboat Key!

    We had an amazing fishing experience with Captain Paul. We caught fish, and he taught us several fishing techniques. We even saw manatees and a stingray! We had a wonderful time. He also shared a lot of interesting information about the area. He’s super friendly, and we highly recommend him. At the end of our trip, he cleaned and filleted our catch, and we’re looking forward to enjoying it for dinner tonight!

    Amazing trip with Captain Bobby. He took us to 4 or 5 different spots, and plenty of fish at each spot. My grandson’s (7 and 10 years old) were fishing for the first time, and Captain Bobby was very patient and helpful with them. The trip exceeded our expectations!

    Captain Adam was fantastic. We had a group of 6 - all first time iguana hunters! We had to wait out a some unpredictable weather before starting, and Adam was extremely accommodating. A wonderful unique experience and would absolutely book again! Highly recommend.

    Trip: Cape Coral Iguana Hunt

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Logan was best fishing charter experience yet! He got us on fish quickly and was great getting my kids going and off catching snook. His equipment was well prepared, clean, and ready for the day. A few times we had doubles going and he was cool and collected even with the occasional snagged line. When it was time to take a break Logan took us to get the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" at Cabbage Key Inn. Then we headed back out for some trout and was able to score a couple keepers and our dinner problems were solved. Capt. Logan's music choice on the way out and way in was great for our family. We highly recommend Logan if you are looking to fish in Southwest Florida. We will be back, maybe for iguanas though.
