The bite has been productive. Inshore and nearshore bite has produced snappers that will reopen Jan 1. The redfish snook and trout are gorging on white bait before the water gets too cold. Good fishing good fun filling coolers

Matt Fueyo with Reel Tight Fishing Charters
Sarasota, Florida
Reported: 3 weeks ago

Nearshore and inshore fishing has been on fire. We have been seeing some big schools of redfish moving through our waters. Snook are cruising the rocks in the jetties. Nearshore fishing has been fun. Gag groupers, lane snappers, mangroves and muttons too! Super fun on light tackle!

The Fall temperatures are coming down along with Gulf temps bringing in many species of gamefish within casting distance from the shore. Expect snook, flounder, Redfish, Black drum, Sheepshead and others congregating in shallow water beach 🏖️ structures that you can walk to and fish. The beach is a great place to learn how to saltwater fish if you're new to the sport or a seasoned pro looking for a different approach than your usual boat trip. Remember, seasickness is never a concern, so you can focus entirely on fishing and fun 🎣. Tight lines from the beach!

What's Biting in Venice

    We had a great time. We caught around 40 fish. Gray snapper, Redfish, Porgy, and Sheep Head. Caught some group or two, but they’re out of season so I’d throw them back. The fish we did keep we took back and cooked them up. They were delicious.

    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 time with Captain Tim. He is a seasoned guide that knows the area waters and knows where the fish are. He took the time to make sure my kids were casting properly and made sure they were never out of bait. We all enjoyed the trip and caught a lot of fish.
