It is officially winter here in Sarasota, Fl and the water is cold. It has been all about the Sheepshead and Snapper fishing around the docks and rocks.

The last couple days have been nothing short of fishy, any and every species you can think of inshore and nearshore. The sheepshead bite has been as good as it’s ever been. Getting limits and personal best fish for customers. Lane snapper are plentiful on nearshore wrecks and reefs, and the redfish and trout have been keeping us busy inshore with a few snook mixed in.
The cold hasn’t slowed the bite down one bit. Fishing shrimp on jig heads for our bottom and structure dwelling fish and popping corks for the inshore fishing.
Sight fishing reds has been the go-to on grass flats, pot holes and mangroves. We’ve been catching upper slot trout and getting a few over slot gator trout on every outing. The bite is bound to stay hot with some of these strong flowing tides we get in the winter months.

    My son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Tim. He's a great guy to fish with and was a lot of fun to fish with. While we caught many fish, it would have been better if the bigger ones cooperated.

    Trip: Iguana Hunting Veteran Guides

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Rolland was an excellent guide he provided great equipment and education on the iguanas that we hunted. The action was consistent throughout the hunt. Capt. Rolland has an eagle eye to spot the iguana’s which keeps the hunt moving along with good numbers of iguanas.

    Captain was very nice, he rigged all of the poles and took us to lots of different locations trying to find fish. Used all kinds of bait, gave us pointers, but because of a tropical storm the week before the fish just were not biting.
