Fishing in Sarasota Bay
Fishing in Sarasota Bay is a unique and memorable way to spend the day, no matter your level of angling experience. These productive waters are home to a wide array of species, each of them more fun to catch than the last.
Avid inshore and nearshore anglers come here to test their skills and see if the fishery is as good as the rumors claim. Most of the time, they get confirmation loud and clear.
What to Expect
Sarasota Bay stretches from South Sarasota all the way to Manatee County, and it’s teeming with prized fish that are always hungry. In this estuary’s brackish waters, the fishing action is solid all year, it’s only a matter of where to go and which setup to use.
Your choice of fishing grounds will depend on what you’d like to find at the end of your line. The grass flats are the hideout of Tarpon, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Snook, as well as Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and Pompano. If you’d like to have a productive day on the water with plenty of hookups, the flats won’t let you down.
When you cast your line around bridges, pilings, and piers, anything from Snapper and Sheepshead, to Jack Crevalle and Black Drum is in the cards. There are also many harbors around the bay, that have shallow waters and very good Trout, Snook, and Redfish action.
If you’d like to explore the nearshore bite, hit the reefs and wrecks – you’ll find a variety of local favorites like King Mackerel, Flounder, Bonito, Amberjack, Grouper, and Snapper waiting for you.
How to Catch ‘Em
Because the fishing conditions are good (to say the least) year-round, fish are always out and about, lurking for their next meal. The optimal time to go fishing in Sarasota Bay is when the water temperature hits 70 degrees, because this is when the fish are most active – not to mention hungry.
Both live bait and artificial lures are equally productive on these bountiful waters. A good assortment of lures is excellent for getting the attention of Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Jacks, and Snook, especially if you use them around oyster bars and grass beds. The best part is that both beginners or pros will equally enjoy finding the fishing style that suits them the most.
What Trip to Choose
You can spend your whole life exploring Sarasota Bay and still not cover all the ample opportunities it has. Because this is such a large body of water, heading out with a guide is a smart choice.
There are specialized trips suited for seasoned anglers, as well as shorter excursions that are perfect for families who love to go fishing together. Local captains usually have decades of expertise they share with their customers, and they’ll also take care of licenses and equipment. If you’re going fishing in Sarasota Bay in the summer, it’s highly recommended to book an early trip, to avoid the heat and make the most of the morning bite.
Just bring some drinks, snacks, appropriate clothing, a hat, sunscreen, and polarized sunglasses. And voila, your fishing adventure can begin!

The only problem with May is the love bugs but they really weren't that bad, though we didn't hit them at the height of their season. After a couple of months of enforced lockdown due to the virus, this was a more than welcomed diversion.

We are a family of four, two adults and two boys. We went out for a half day of bay and inshore fishing. Captain Anthony was patient, knowledgeable and professional. He took us several places and did his best but the fish just weren't cooperating. Although we didn't catch as many fish as we would have liked it was still an overall really great day and positive experience!

Good trip. Kids had a very good time. Boat is modest but plenty for four to fish the bay without interference. Most of the luck in the early afternoon and then tailed off thereafter, but Captain Scott knew some spots where the kids would pull fish in even if too small for dinner. Got one good eatin' flounder. We'll try again next time.

Captain Kyle was great! He is knowledgable & respects the ocean & the fish. My son & I had a great time fishing on two different trips, while visiting Sarasota.

My family and I had a blast on the morning half day fishing trip with Capt. Phil. We had originally reserved the afternoon prior but Capt. Phil was kind enough to offer us another day as the weather conditions werenโt the best when we originally reserved. He was kind and patient with my kids and he truly wanted to ensure we had the best experience. If youโre ever in the area and are looking for something new and fun, I highly recommend fishing with Capt. Phil.

Had a great day with our 6 year old son. We didnโt catch a heap of fish but enough for lunch ! Wife hooked a juvenile tarpon which was the highlight of the day. Captain Scott knows the waters like the his hand and he knows a little something about fishing too. When we come back we wonโt hesitate to give him a call for another chance to get that tarpon in the boat. Next time !

Good trip. Kids had a very good time. Boat is modest but plenty for four to fish the bay without interference. Most of the luck in the early afternoon and then tailed off thereafter, but Captain Scott knew some spots where the kids would pull fish in even if too small for dinner. Got one good eatin' flounder. We'll try again next time.

Captain Kyle was great! He is knowledgable & respects the ocean & the fish. My son & I had a great time fishing on two different trips, while visiting Sarasota. We caught a ton of fish both times & even saw a Manatee. We would definitely use his services if we visit again & recommend you to do the same.

My family and I had a blast on the morning half day fishing trip with Capt. Phil. We had originally reserved the afternoon prior but Capt. Phil was kind enough to offer us another day as the weather conditions werenโt the best when we originally reserved. He was kind and patient with my kids and he truly wanted to ensure we had the best experience. If youโre ever in the area and are looking for something new and fun, I highly recommend fishing with Capt. Phil.

Rough choppy waters didnโt keep Captain Ron from helping us land 2 Barracudas! He kept trying and even had to deal with one of us being sea sick. It is always hard to let good things come to an end, but it was a great time! Would definitely recommend and book another Charter with Captain Ron!

We started off slow but ended with a bang! It was very calm and sunny out. Captain Scott knew where the fish were. You could tell he has been doing this for awhile. After we got back to the dock he fillet the fish we caught and we made it for dinner. I highly recommend this trip!! 5 stars!

We spent a half day off the Sarasota coast with Captain Mike catching fish around the reefs. His ability to find the fish didnโt disappoint. He made the whole family feel at home with great conversation, local knowledge and professionalism. Five stars!!

Had a great day with our 6 year old son. We didnโt catch a heap of fish but enough for lunch ! Wife hooked a juvenile tarpon which was the highlight of the day. Captain Scott knows the waters like the his hand and he knows a little something about fishing too. When we come back we wonโt hesitate to give him a call for another chance to get that tarpon in the boat. Next time !

The family booked a four hour trip for our parents while they were visiting Florida. Captain Vasiliy made their visit a 5 star experience! They loved the boat, equipment, and professional level of service. Thank you Capt. Vasiliy for giving our parents a wonderful adventure they will never forget.

Fishing was great. Catching was slow but captain did everything in his power to put us on the fish. Thatโs why itโs fishing not catching

Enjoyed the trip! It was my first fishing experience like this and captain Scott was a great teacher! Best moment was when our 13 year old son caught a bonnet shark. Very cool.

We had an awesome time fishing withCaptain Scott, very nice and personable. Puts you at ease because heโs friendly and has great stories. Husband caught a 30 1/2 inch red fish, had to put it back as itโs not red season, but great time catching other mangrove snappers and a Jacks.

Had a great experience with Captain Scott! My wife and I caught fish all day; trout, snapper, all capped off by a nice permit to end the day! Truly the highlight of the trip, and a fish my wife will never forget! I would definitely recommend Captain Scott and we will surely book with him the next time we are in town! Thank you for a great day on the water!
