It's finally Fall in Sarasota and the water temperatures are slowly dropping. Sarasota Bay has been full of action the past few weeks with water temperatures in the mid to low 80 degrees.
Customers have been enjoying quick action catching Trout, Jacks and Mackeral along the deeper grass flats. We
have also been having great luck targeting Snook and Redfish along the mangrove islands near major creek systems. They key has been fishing the small fry bait being pushing to the surface.

    We had an amazing time bowfishing with Captain Mike this past weekend. My 10 year old son and I had a blast learning how to fish with a bow, and translating shooting at paper targets into shooting at moving fish. The Bay was alive with marine life and it was really cool to be out there together. There was a small technical issue that came up early in the trip, but Captain Mike used his experience to quickly resolve it and get us back out to where the fish were jumping. We are definitely going to book with him again!

    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.

    We had a great day with Capt Wade, he was very professional and knowledgeable and shared his experiences with us. We caught Snook, Redfish, and Speckled Trout in numbers and size to satisfy our needs until next time. His lunch recommendation to cook our catch was awesome too.
