Sarasota Bay and Coastal Fishing Report

Bio: Bay and coastal light tackle fishing guide. 25 years, full time guide in Sarasota.

You will be fishing with the top of the line in fishing platform. My 22' 10" center console Panga Marquesas is one of the most fishable bay and coastal guide boats in the Sarasota area that can fish all of the skinny water and back water on Sarasota bay plus the coastal offshore waters in the Gulf of Mexico. You can mix your fishing up with a little inshore and offshore in the same trip.

With a very large variety of fish in this area, this boat will allow you to fish the shallow grass flats for Trout and Redfish or move to the docks and Mangroves for Snook. On those windy days, make the long runs across the open bay to the protected fishing grounds without taking a bath. We can fish the swift waters of the inlets for Pompano and Bluefish, the beaches for Tarpon and Cobia, or move offshore for Black Grouper, Barracuda, Permit, Snapper, and Kingfish just to name a few. I carry plenty of live bait and artificial lures on board with a large assortment of rods and reels for different kinds of fishing. This is hands on fishing for the novice or experienced. I find them you catch them! I find it more gratifying for both of us if I teach you how to catch fish rather then catch fish for you.
