Bradenton & Sarasota Inshore Fishing
On our inshore fishing charters we will be fishing the bays of Tampa Bay and Sarasota Bay on the grass flats and around the mangroves & oyster bars. During our inshore adventures we primarily fish for snook, trout, and redfish. Other species that we encounter on our inshore fishing charters include flounder, pompano, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, gag grouper, ladyfish, and jack crevelle. We fish with light tackle and use live bait and lures. A nice thing about fishing inshore is that we are always within 10-20 minutes of a restroom. Some of the best inshore fishing occurs in the spring and fall with these transition periods have fish very hungry and on the move.
Nearshore Fishing Charters
On our Nearshore fishing charters we fish a couple miles off the beach out to 9 miles into the Gulf of Mexico. We fish strucure on the bottom like ledges and rock piles. Fishing these areas we use a couple different techniques such as dropping baits to the bottom using weights or by trolling plugs behind the boat around these structures to entice pelagic fish that are supsended higher up in the water. These fishing charters are great for kids as it can be non stop fun. we come across Snappers, Groupers, Sharks, Permit, Kingfish, Spanish Mackeral, Cobia and more! We fish with light tackle, medium-heavy tackle and trolling setups. We also offer hand line for goliath grouper.
Tarpon fishing charters available May-July. Fishing along the beaches and major passes of Bradenton & Sarasota.
