With a diversity of shallow waters just a stone’s throw from shore, Sarasota offers year-round Snook fishing. These temperature-intolerant creatures will spend winter upstream in the warmer waters of the canals and creeks before heading to the bays in summer. Hop aboard a fishing charter in Sarasota and see this phenomenal fishery for yourself!
What to Expect
Depending on the time of year you head to Sarasota, you’ll be fishing very different spots. That doesn’t mean that the fishing will be any different, though. Sarasota Snook fishing offers incredible light tackle action 365 days a year.
In winter, you’ll fish brackish waters of the rivers and creeks toward Bradenton. The calm waters, protected on either side by land, will give you the feeling of freshwater fishing while going after one of the most prized saltwater species. You’ll have the best of both worlds!
In summer, Sarasota and Roberts Bays are overflowing with these tough-fighting creatures. Spend between four and eight hours on the water, testing your skills so as not to scare the spooky Snook, and use your strength to get 'em out of the water.
Some charters even offer night trips to target Snook. Just 15 miles south of Sarasota, you’ll find “Snook Alley.” The name speaks for itself. Here, you’ll use the dock lights to spot your target as they rise to the top to feed on their preferred bait fish.
How to Prepare
To navigate these shallow waters, you’ll need a light, shallow-hulled vessel. Aboard a bay or flats boat, your captain will provide everything you need for a productive day out. Take advantage of top-of-the-line rods and reels (and plenty of live bait) and get your fish on!
All you need to do is bring some food and drinks aboard to make the most of your trip, and dress appropriately to protect against the sun. Come and experience the beauty and excitement of Florida’s Cultural Coast aboard a Sarasota Snook fishing charter.

Rely on a fishing charter for your first time out. Definitely worth going with Reel Fishing SWFL. And it's a MUST to hire Miguel from Reel Fishing SWFL Charters. Fee is very reasonable compared to other Charters in the area. It was perfect for my husband and I. We received Miguel's full attention. We learned many things about saltwater fishing. The wildlife was beautiful. I can't say enough good things about this charter. We'd DEFINITELY charter again. Thanks Miguel for a wonderful time.

This is a difficult time of year for some species of fish. The captain DID deliver with what was here and provided a quality, well priced trip.

Fish hard and be patient. Fish slow down with the cooler water temps and you may not always get what youโre after but thereโs still plenty of action to be found in the winter.

Check with your captain a couple of days ahead of your trip to check boating conditions and be flexible for rescheduling. It can get cold at times out on the water in October, so dress in layers.

I would say the family fishing trip was a great mix of fishing and shark tooth finding but if you want to just fish you might want to book just the fishing excursion. But no matter you wonโt be disappointed

Trust your Capt to know what is bitting. They are on the water and know what to target and where to go. Some days are very good and some a little slower.
Thats why it's called fishing and not just catching.
