Reel Tight Fishing Charters

Member since December 2016 Sarasota, United States
Background
Reel Tight Fishing Charters was re-established in December of 2016. The owner, Matt Fueyo, ran charters for over 20 years inshore and offshore in the Sarasota and surrounding waters. During the 2009 BP oil spill, he left the industry and joined the Army. After completing a tour overseas, he returned to Sarasota to pursue his lifelong passion. Matt has years of running private yachts for high-profile owners which is reflected in his level of professionalism and cleanliness in his charter boat company. Even though Blue Marlin is his favorite fish to catch, Snook and Tarpon still give him the adrenaline-pumping action that made him fall in love with sport fishing. Let Reel Tight Fishing Charters show you how a professional program operates.

March Madness and April Action
March Madness and April Action
Apr 1, 2023 Sarasota
Spring has definitely sprung in Sarasota Bay as we keep our captains busy with the rush of visitors for spring break season! Snook, redfish, and trout are hungry and eating a variety of bait including shrimp and pilchards. The breeding season for these species has made the larger females make their presence known. Our guests have had a BLAST hooking into some huge reds and snook, and the bite has been consistent and full of surprises. The big girls have come out to play, and we are on the fish and ready to show you a good time!
