Fresh Longboat Key Fishing Reports

Weather and water conditions are perfect now if catching a trophy snook is in your sights! It’s all about sight fishing these bad boys and having the right bait and presenting properly. We use a variety of larger live baits designed to entice the bigger ones to bite. Times running out, only 3 days left! BOOK ME QUICK if you’re interested in going after a keeper! ??️?? P.S. Photos are from trips in last 5 days!

Gino and his boys, my FishingBooker clients today had a blast catching some fun fish for the dinner table today. Right out of the gate, his sons got a double hookup with a beautiful pompano and permit. Super fun fight from the beach ?️! The morning trip did awesome with a limit of Mangrove snapper. They didn’t want them so was thrilled when they gave them to me. Let’s go catch some fish and forget the boat, we do great without it. Tight lines from the beach ?️ Best regards, Captain Steve Beach Fishing Adventures ?️??

Fishing has been hot lately, like the weather this summer and I see no end in sight. Surprisingly, many folks don’t realize the abundance of inshore species that can be caught from the beach “on foot” without using a boat. Going out miles and miles in rough seas is NOT your only option. If you’re good with catching the inshore superstars and learning stuff, we’re the trip for you! Right now we’re getting, Snook, Mangrove snapper, Sheepshead, Gulf flounder, Pompano and many others. Leave the seasickness at home and gain a better understanding on “how to fish” are beautiful Sarasota, Longboat Key and Anna Maria Island beaches. Tight lines from the Beach!!!

The water is warm in SW Florida, particularly, the Sarasota beaches including Longboat Key! Expect some good action with snook, pompano, flounder, ladyfish and more. If your prone to seasickness, or don’t want to get caught offshore with rough seas, consider joining me instead. More fun, more learning, shorter trips, make beach fishing with Captain Steven a winning proposition. Look forward to showing you some awesome fishing from the beach ?️

Longboat Key is having an usual run of monster Blues hitting live baits within casting distance from the shore. Snook are solid too, with lots of slots patrolling the beaches looking for an easy meal. With the abundance of baitfish on the beach, it’s no problem to load up and then find the fish. This is where local knowledge reigns supreme. Let’s go hook some of these bad boys, and happy to fillet them up for you. Tight lines from the beach = memories made! ?️??

Very large Bluefish at 10 - 12 pounds slamming live baits from the Longboat Key beaches last week. Florida’s typical Blue averages 2 to 4 pounds. Been fishing the Sarasota beaches “on-foot” for over 33 years and never have seen this species of this size. Way more common on the Northeast beaches of the U.S. like Rhode Island or Long Island and more. Looking to have a memorable experience, look no further. Fighting a fish like that is way more fun from the beach than a boat. That’s just my opinion of course. Snook are biting strong too! I know the spots. Let’s go get them while the season is open till the end of April. Tight lines from the beach!
