Grande Charter Fishing

Sarasota is home to a plethora of inshore and nearshore species. On my full day trips, it gives you more time and the ability to run a little further to potentially better fishing, we will typically target what is best that time of year to ensure we have good action for our time on the water. Springtime is a great time of year for us. The spring is when the inshore fishing starts to turn on with incredible shallow water snook and red fishing along with cobia, kingfish, and sharks right along the beach. Summer time no doubt is the best time to fish our waters. The tarpon are now migrating, the snook are fired up, and the permit are moving onto our nearshore wrecks. This time of year gives anglers the ability to get a taste of everything in the same day from snook or permit in the morning to tarpon in the evening it's a guide's paradise. (A trip including tarpon is a different listing) Fall time and wintertime blend and offer the same species. The snook and redfish are starting to stage in the backwater offering some fun sight fishing opportunities for the more skilled angler or someone who is up for a challenge. Gag grouper and amberjacks are moving in close if you are up for a tug of war. We also could potentially have another run of kingfish, cobia, and sharks depending on water quality and temp. Triple tail is a crowd favorite as they are delicious and require accurate cast and sight fishing from all levels of anglers. They are here for usually a couple of months depending again on the water temp. I hope this gives you a good idea of what our area offers and the best thing to do is call me prior to a trip and specify what you are looking to catch so I can accommodate accordingly. Capt.

Join me for a day on the water fishing the Florida’s west coast waters in search of the top inshore species. Depending on the species we will be targeting or style of fishing preferred we will either fish on my 17ft Spear Evergladez technical polling skiff or my custom built 24ft T-craft. Both platforms are fully setup and equipped with top of the line fly and light tackle but you’re more than welcome to bring your own if that’s preferred. I am centrally located in Sarasota between Tampa Bay and Charlotte harbor allowing me to travel to the best bite on 3/4 or full day trips. I love teaching and showing people the joys of fly fishing and light tackle fishing so no matter you’re experience level I can ensure you a fun, relaxing, and entertaining day on the water! Most of these trips I take up to two anglers but for larger groups I accommodate with alternative options.

I am looking forward to showing you or your group a great day chasing the Silver King. On my Full day trip, you will get to learn how to fish for and experience tarpon from all angles. We will be looking for rolling pods of fish right along the beach and be sight fishing them with live crabs or fishing the outgoing tides when they are gorging themselves with whatever floats by. Most of the fish we get are averaging in the 60-140lb range with the likely chance of a fish 150-200lbs mid-season. We will plan the time and location of pickup a few days before the trip based on weather and fishing conditions. I would recommend bringing sunblock, any food or drinks you would like, and a camera because you will regret not bringing one. On the full day trips, we will typically take a lunch break and eat at a local restaurant on the water to give everyone a break before the afternoon. I would recommend wearing a light-colored long-sleeve, hat, polarized sunglasses, and light pants or board shorts because it is HOT! I will provide everyone's fishing license, water, photography, and tight lines. I am looking forward to talking over the phone soon and putting y'all on a fish of a lifetime.
