About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Tony to fish the bountiful backwaters of Sarasota, Siesta Key, and beyond! You’ll be casting off of Tony's 22’ Center Console, air conditioned, and powered by a speedy 200 Yamaha. You'll be hitting his favorite backwater honey holes to target Snook, Redfish, Trout, and other inshore sportfish species!

After you book, all you'll need to do is show up to the dock with your favorite snacks and drinks of choice. Captain Tony will have the boat fueled up and geared up with all the rods, reels, bait, tackle, and fishing licenses so you can get straight out on the water.

At the end of the day, he’ll clean and bag your catch for easy transport home! Book your trip now and enjoy a real-deal Florida inshore experience with a seasoned local guide.

Knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and most important… he took us to where the fish were biting. Had a great experience and caught plenty of fish for dinner. He was patient with all of us and attentive as well. Fished multiple spots. Kept the trip moving. I would recommend.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
