Sarasota's fishing conditions vary with tides, weather, and seasonal patterns that Captain Brad monitors closely. Spring and fall typically offer the most consistent action, while summer brings tarpon and other warm-water species. Winter months can produce excellent fishing during stable weather periods, particularly for trout and redfish in protected waters.
Tidal movement plays a crucial role in fish activity, with moving water generally producing better results than slack periods. Captain Brad times trips to coincide with optimal tidal conditions and adjusts locations based on wind direction and water clarity. Anglers should bring sun protection, comfortable clothing, and any personal items needed for a day on the water.
Your fishing charter includes all necessary equipment, from rods and reels to tackle and bait. The boat accommodates small groups comfortably, with safety equipment and communication devices onboard.
