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 a great trip Taylor!! He was a great captain! We caught LOTS of fish. Super knowledgeable and such a pleasure to be around. We will definitely be calling him when we come back to Florida again. Top notch experience! Caught mackerel, trout, groupers, Jack fish, lady fish, lizard fish, catfish and we saw a dolphin. Thank you for a great experience!
