Sarasota's inshore waters fish well year-round, with seasonal patterns affecting which species are most active. Spring and fall typically offer the most consistent action, while summer brings warmer water species closer to shore. Winter fishing can be excellent when cold fronts push baitfish into the bay's warmer, deeper areas.
Tidal movement plays a crucial role in fishing success here. Moving water activates feeding, especially around structure like docks, bridges, and oyster bars. Captain Brad times trips to take advantage of optimal tide conditions and knows which spots produce during different tidal phases. Wind direction also affects fishing strategy, with certain areas fishing better depending on wind patterns and water clarity.
Your fishing charter includes a well-maintained boat equipped with quality rods, reels, and tackle suitable for the target species.

Trips typically start early morning when fish are most active, though afternoon charters are available. Captain Brad recommends bringing sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a hat for sun protection.
