We had an absolutely incredible day on the water with Captain Ryan! My family was down on vacation and 3 of us took a trip with him and we caught so many fish! Ryan was hands down the best captain we’ve ever had. He was knowledgeable, fun, and made sure we were on the fish at all times. He kept us in the action and made the whole day a blast. He supplied all the fishing equipment, bait and tackle and we just showed up ready to embark.  We even took home our catches already filleted by Ryan... More

Captain Ryan is the best, he is friendly, helpful, informative and a true professional! He put us on fish fast and consistently!! He was super helpful for the first time angler we had and made the whole trip fun for us. He provided all of the drinks and even had sunblock that he offered. We had a ton of bait ready to go and plenty of rods & combos set up to fish all sorts of species. I will never use anyone else in Sarasota other than Captain Ryan. He made the whole trip for us, thanks Ryan, I... More

Ryan was a great captain. He was very personable and great to hang out with. He had us on fish and we had plenty enough to bring some home to eat.  Would book him again if we were back in the area. If you are looking to take kids or have experience fishing and just want to catch fish, Ryan wont disappont.

If you are looking for a fun day of catching fish, be it inshore or nearshore, I totally recommend going out with Captain Ryan of LanierSpots Gulf Charters. With his many years of professional fishing and guiding experience, you will learn the how and whys of the many species you will catch.  I have been fortunate enough to fish with Captain Ryan several times and I’m not sure there is a species we haven’t caught!  Whether you are looking for table food or just a fun day of catching fish,...
