The fishing in the Sarasota area has been great. Whether you are fishing off the beach or in the bay there has been a consistent bite with multiple different species. Off the beaches right now, you can expect to catch a limit of Spanish mackerel along with cobia and King mackerel. The little Tony a.k.a. Bonita is soon to arrive to the party. All of these fish make great table fare and are a blast to catch. On the inshore side of things, the snook and red fish fishing has been on fire. With with plenty of bait around the...

Typically we run full speed by the stone trap bouys looking for triple tail and then we sight cast to them . October and November are prime triple tail months . Also this is a great time to target blacktip sharks under the schools of mackeral using cut bait on wire leaders . Inside the bay sea trout, snook and redfish are feeding before winter . Using live Pilchards is key. I typically am out an hour before the charter catching hundreds of live Pilchards giving us a great chance for a non stop fishing adventure.

We have been into a great variety of fish on recent trips. We have gotten into Mahi-mahi, Bonita, Sharks, grouper, snapper, often times on the same trip! Even near-shore has been fun with plenty of Spanish Mackerel and grunts for the kids!

Summer is slowly coming to an end here in Sarasota, Florida and we are excited to be seeing signs of Fall. Our Trout Fishing has been fantastic in Sarasota Bay along our deeper grass flats with tons of action from other by catch, Jacks, Lady Fish, Mangrove Snapper and Triple Tail. We have also started to find schools of Redfish along our shallower grass flats and mangrove islands.

The fishing is awesome at the moment, minus the rain every day. If you don't mind getting wet , let's get some lines tight. Fish are already wet they don't mind as long as it's not lightning we're going. Redfish and snook are chewing if you're looking for that drag to scream . Along with tons of mangrove snapper and grunts to fill your cooler.

    Trip: 8Hr Offshore Grouper - Best In FL

    What an unforgettable experience!! We had so much fun and caught so many fish with Captain George- I’m also pretty sure he might actually be a fish whisperer! He was so personable and accommodating. We have fallen in love with this area and can’t wait to come back next year- and you can bet that we will definitely be booking another fishing trip! Thanks for the memories, Captain George!!

    My son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Jake today. Although it may have been a little less action than expected, he made the effort hitting up multiple spots and giving us every opportunity to catch as many fish as possible! Very professional but also made it fun with the conversations and information about the wildlife in the area. Highly recommended, and we’ll be hitting up Captain Jake the next time we’re in town!

    Trip: Holmes Beach Inshore Hookfest

  • ★★★★★
    Frankie was great. He took us to multiple locations to catch a variety of fish. Every member of the charter caught several fish. Frankie took the time to ensure each member mastered the needed approach to catch different species. We booked a 4 hour finishing charter and caught fish the entire time. We caught grouper, snapper, and sea trout. At the end of the trip Frankie cleaned the fish and we had more than enough fillets for the grill. He even gave information about the bay and some history during the trip. We all had fun, ages 13 to 70.
