About Your Trip

Head out for an awesome fishing adventure in Sarasota, FL with Captain Darius!
On his trips, you'll explore the inshore and nearshore water looking for inshore Redfish, Snook, and Speckled Trout, plus nearshore Gag Grouper, Snappers, Spanish Mackerel, and tons of other species. These trips are a blast for anglers of all levels, whether you're an experienced fisherman or just out there for a vacation trip.

Captain Darius runs a 20' Young flats boat that's ideal for searching the flats. These shallow, grassy areas are perfect habitat for shrimp, crabs, and other forage, which in turn attracts the big fish. You'll go after the big ones on light tackle, so the fights are truly epic!

All of Captain Darius' trips include ice, bottled water, tournament grade fishing gear, live bait, licenses, and fish cleaning at end of the trip. There is plenty of room in the cooler as well for your favorite snacks and drinks if you'd like to bring them along as well.

Darius was very informative and always helpful during out inshore fishing trip. He was always considering when it was best to move to a new location to provide the best fishing experience. He was also great to talk to and share thoughts about the area.
