About Your Trip

We are a seasoned premier guiding service done exclusively from the Sarasota shoreline and beaches WITHOUT a boat being used. Did I mention, NO SEASICKNESS on my trips. Come join your kind and courteous guide, Captain Steve on this exciting fishing trip you’ve been looking for! Steve’s local experience, expertise and enthusiasm (30+ years fishing the Sarasota beaches 🏖️) will surely help put you on the fish at the hottest spots. Trips are designed for all skill levels from beginner to advanced with an emphasis on “learning” the local beach fishing scene and last between 2 and 4 hours. We target all the inshore species (snook, redfish, trout, pompano, sheepshead, black drum and more) that the boat captains do for less. In addition, large groups are welcome up to 10 persons which is not possible on most other charters due to Coast Guard rules.

Short quick trips are great for young kids or a full schedule, but still want to get your fishing in without using up your entire day.

Special beach fishing learning trips are also available along with a single angler budget friendly trip. Let me customize your fishing trip, the sky’s the limit. Feel free to bring snacks, soda and water and appropriate beach attire like swim suit, long sleeve sun protective shirts, hats, sunglasses and sunscreen to help make your day enjoyable. I bring all the needed equipment, like rods and reels, tackle, ice, cooler and ziplock bags for your filleted catch.

Stephen was an excellent guide. He helped my 11 year old son find different places to cast and even walked him into some deeper water to cast, which was exciting! He was prepared and very pleasant.
