Spend the day with Reel Froggy Charters in Sarasota and discover the thrill of fishing with a seasoned local expert. With Captain Cole at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of experience, deep knowledge of Gulf waters, and a passion for helping guests reel in unforgettable memories.

Captain Cole is a licensed and insured U.S. Coast Guard OUPV captain, committed to safety, professionalism, and personalized service. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or brand new to fishing, you’ll feel right at home.

We specialize in inshore and nearshore trips targeting a wide variety of species including Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Sea Trout, Flounder, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Grouper, Sharks, Grey Snapper, and more. Depending on the season and your goals, you might find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or exploring more specialized techniques. For those seeking a bold experience, spearfishing is also available.

Families are always welcome. We provide child-sized life vests if needed, and encourage you to bring snacks to keep everyone energized and smiling throughout the trip. Fishing with kids is a great way to create lasting memories, and Captain Cole is known for his patient, hands-on instruction.

Your trip takes place aboard a 21-foot Tidewater center console vessel with room for up to six passengers. It’s equipped with all the essentials for a smooth, productive day on the water.

We provide rods, reels, tackle, and bait, and your fishing license is covered by the charter. All you need to bring are your personal essentials—sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, and bottled water. Alcohol is permitted.

Captain Cole will guide you through local regulations and help you identify what’s biting and how best to catch it. Whether you’re after dinner or just the thrill of the fight, you’ll be in good hands.

If you have any questions or want help planning your trip, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s make your day on the water
