When you want to go fishing in Sarasota, one of the safest and most fun ways to do so is by taking a trip with Charter Fishing Sarasota. Your guide on this trip is Captain Bryan, who’s been fishing these waters for over 30 years. He’s a multi-generation fisherman and learned a lot from his father. The knowledge his family passed on to him only adds to the years of fishing experience.
Capt. Bryan encourages anglers of all ages and skill levels to take a part in the action. He’ll show you everything you need to know, so even if you started the trip as an amateur, you’ll feel like a pro by the end of it.
Sailing through the flats, backcountry, and reefs of Sarasota, you’ll go after Redfish, Tarpon, Permit, Snook, Trout, Cobia, Black Drum, and many more. Further offshore, you’ll get to test your fishing mettle against the likes of Grouper, Snapper, King Mackerel, Barracuda, and more before you head back to land with some delicious table fare stored in the cooler.
The captain will supply everything you’ll need for a successful day on the water. Rods, reels, bait, tackle, fishing license, and a cooler filled with ice and bottled water.
Come on down and get ready for an angling experience you’ll remember for a long time!

We really enjoyed our time out fishing in the bay with Capt. Bryan! Caught lots of fish...Snooks, Red fish, Snapper, and Trout...so much fun! Bryan was very helpful, encouraging, patient, and a great guide...very knowledgable of the waters, as he's a Sarasota native and fishes there frequently. He found great spots for us to catch a lot of fish! It was our best experience of any of the fishing trips we've been on. Highly recommend Charter-Fishing with Capt. Bryan, if you want to catch a lot of fish and have a fun time!!!

3/4 Day Trip (AM)
We started off the day a bit late thanks to day light savings time. Captain Bryan called and made sure to adjust for the time change. He also adjusted the meet up spot. Not for his convenience but because of a recent red tide in the area he didn’t want us burning the time we paid for to get to a fishable area. Besides a quick trip up the canal he had us on fish immediately. Before we knew it we had burned the 6 hours, caught 6 different species. During the entire process he was on point releasing fish and rebating as fast as he could because of the amount of hits we were getting. On more occasions than I can count we had 2-3-4 fish on lines at the same time. There were 4 of us reeling the fish and only one of him. Killed it. Absolutely killed it. Thanks again Bryan.

Captain Brian put on fish right away. Made an unscheduled stop to accommodate our needs . Move to new spots when the bite slowed. Was very patient and helpful for a first timer in our group!! Had one the best fishing trip and took home plenty of fillets for everyone!! I would definitely recommend using Captain Brian for a wonderful experience!!
