Looking to explore Florida’s world-famous fishing grounds from a new perspective, and embark on a unique adventure at the same time? Maybe you’ve always wanted to experience incredible angling action, but don’t like the idea of cruising miles out onto choppy waters? Beach Fishing Adventures is the perfect solution! Explore the Gulf of Mexico’s fishery from a totally new perspective as you cast off from Sarasota’s shoreline. No boat needed – leave seasickness behind!
Your guide, Steve Herich, has been fishing these waters for over 30 years and uses his wealth of experience to offer unbeatable “on the beach” angling adventures for guests of all ages and skill levels. He’s a patient and knowledgeable instructor and will teach you not only how to hook your dream catch, but how to catch live bait, use the tackle and also gain an understanding of the local fish and best fishing conditions.
You’ll be able to cast off straight away with Steve – you don’t need to worry about cruising miles to find the best spot! Fishing from piers, beaches, bay, and jetties guarantees true “hands-on” action, and Steve will show you the best techniques to use.
Steve’s knowledge, fishing spots, and top-notch techniques already offer something to write home about! Steve’s guests regularly reel in species such as Snook, Redfish, Pompano, Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, Flounder, Shark species, and plenty of other Floridian saltwater superstars.
Coach Steve will provide the best quality Penn gear you need for a fun and productive day along the shoreline. He’ll even fillet and bag your catch for you. Gratuity is not included, but is appreciated: 15-20% is customary for your guide working hard to make your trip memorable! Just remember to purchase your fishing license for the day. The hoards of baitfish of many species bring the bite up against the beaches, so make sure you don’t miss out!
Leave your sea-sickness medication at home when you’re fishing straight from the shore!

Captain Steve grew up in Southern California, and has always had a passion for saltwater activities: from fishing to surfing, scuba to spearfishing, and diving for Lobster! He has a true thirst for adventure, and this led him to the rugged, unspoiled beaches of Baja, Mexico. Baja proved to be a true fisherman's paradise, with incredible angling opportunities and lifelong memories. Now, he wants to help guests feel the same sense of adventure and excitement that he experienced in Baja – through experiencing Floridian fishing like never before, from the shoreline! Steve moved to Longboat Key, Florida, in 1992, and has an incredible, diverse fishery right on his doorstep. He can't wait to introduce you to it, all without a boat in sight. He also knows a lot about the local wildlife and loves telling guests about the nature around them as they fish, providing an experience that’s more than just fishing. Come and enjoy a truly unique Floridian experience with your own personal beach guide!
