Sarasota's inshore waters support a healthy population of snook, redfish, spotted seatrout, and tarpon throughout the year. These species utilize the grass flats, mangrove creeks, and oyster bars that characterize the area's productive ecosystem. Snook concentrate around structure during warmer months, while redfish patrol the shallow flats year-round. Spotted seatrout are abundant in the deeper grass beds, particularly during cooler months when they school in predictable locations.
Captain Brad adjusts techniques based on seasonal patterns and current conditions. Live bait fishing with shrimp and pinfish produces consistent results, while artificial lures work well when fish are actively feeding. The diverse habitat allows for multiple fishing approaches, from sight casting on shallow flats to drift fishing over deeper grass beds.
