Fast Cast Fishing – Sarasota
+201Fast Cast Fishing is your company if you are after some fine angling and big catches. Let the crew take you to the prolific waters of Sarasota and all the way down to Venice, Florida.
Explore the West Coast in comfort and style aboard a 26’ Pathfinder. Its 300 HP Yamaha motor will power you and 5 buddies to the hottest grounds in the area. The boat is equipped with the finest equipment by the leading brands, such as Shimano, Minn Kota, Power-Pole, and other.
The boat is designed to put you on fish. Combine it with the captain’s talent and vast knowledge, and get a recipe for a successful trip. Whether you want to check the open nearshore water, stay a bit closer, or spend your whole day chasing the Silver King – Tarpon, there is a trip for you.
Get your hands on shallow water hunters, such as Redfish and Snook. Explore the reefs and get a healthy dose of Snapper, Grouper, and Amberjack. Your expertise doesn’t matter at all – as long as you have a desire to catch fish and have fun doing it.
All trips come inclusive with rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, and a fishing license to cover your group. When you’re done catching your weekly dinner, it will be cleaned for you at the end of the trip. You might need to bring your own snacks and drinks with you. However, drinking water will be provided by the captain.

Near Shore Fishing with Capt. Lou
Nearshore Fishing (4 hour) on May 29, 2020
We had a fantastic time with Capt. Lou! We caught fish after fish. He had a great attitude and was so helpful to the couple of us who had never fished in that type of environment. My 14 year old is still talking about it and cant wait to go back!! If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience, I highly recommend Fast Cast Fishing with Capt. Lou.
