We’ve been putting some serious fish on deck lately — cobia, mangrove snapper, gag grouper, and red grouper have all been chewing.

We’re mixing it up and staying on the bite, using live bait, cut bait, shrimp, and throwing jigs, depending on what the fish want. And it hasn’t mattered whether we’re fishing daytime or after dark — the action has been steady.

    We had an amazing time fishing with Capt. Mike today!! Pulled in some nice grouper and red snapper!! Recommend at least a 6 hour trip to pull in big fish! On the way back to shore we had the most comfortable ride sitting in beanbags! Would 100% recommend. Shawn and Christine

    Trip: Sarasota Offshore W/ Capt Mike

  • ★★★★★
    If anyone on this website is looking for a charter offshore in Sarasota, use Captain Mike! He is extremely professional, knows what he's doing and got us on the fish. Traveled out 50+ miles into the Gulf of America for a 3/4 day charter with my friends from Long Island and we started pulling grouper over the gunwales within minutes of dropping lines. No red snapper but had at least 20 grouper and a few nice mango snappers. Oh and a Goliath Grouper that found his way back in the rocks and broke off! That one hurt! If we got him up, I'd have been in the water for a pic. We had a killer time with fish, belly laughs and phenomenal weather. One of the best captains I have ever chartered by far! Seriously, this is your guy! While he still has his accent from Southie, he's a Floridian for sure! Had a great time with tight lines and fair winds!

    We had such a wonderful experience with Captain Charlie ! Amazing communication from day one, which is something you really don’t find anymore. This was my first time out fishing like this, and he immediately made me feel welcome, comfortable, and completely at ease. We left with wonderful memories and so much appreciation for the day. Captain Charlie is genuine, personable, and an absolute pleasure to be around. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! We highly recommend Charlie and would absolutely book with him again! 🎣❤️

    We had such a great time on our fishing charter with Dillon! My kids and I had an absolute blast. We caught tons of great fish and learned a few fishing tricks too. The whole experience was so much fun & Dillon made it a great time from start to finish. It was the perfect way to have fun family time, and we would definitely do it again. Highly recommend this charter!
