e have had some cold mornings in Sarasota Florida and the water is cold! We ended the year with water temperatures in the 50's in some places. With these cold water temperatures our customers enjoyed targeting Sheepshead, Snappers and Grunts on our nearshore reefs. On our warmer days we focused on fishing the docks and rocks in areas that the water was warmer in Sarasota Bay and were able to find luck targeting Redfish and Snook! We also have found a few Pompano as well as schools of big Jack Crevalle in our back country creeks.

The water has been cooling off and starting to push fish up into the creeks. We have been getting on a lot of jacks, snook, and small tarpon. Bait has still been around and there are a lot of it. With the weather cooling off its making it beautiful out to fish

    Wow! What a truly fun time. Charlie had everything ready and waiting when we arrived. He was kind, helpful, and most importantly fun. We had a blast trying to catch fish…they were stupid stubborn though. But no worries. Charlie would just move us to another spot. We will be back to Siesta Key….and we will be booking another trip w Charlie.

    Captain Charlie wasn’t nothing short of amazing! First time I took my teenage son with me fishing in salt water and it was one filled with life long memories. Captain Charlie ensure my son and I were at ease, and he made us feel like long time friends. Highly recommend!

    Bill is an excellent captain and under his guidance my 8 year old son and I had a blast fishing. I was hoping for a relaxing first big water trip for my son and Bill delivered exactly that. All fishing and safety equipment was provided and we had great conversations. The only bad part of the trip was that it had to come to an end.
