What anglers said about fishing in Sarasota

Make sure to bring sunscreen or some variation of a long sleeve shirt to wear— we were only out for 4 hours and got FRIED (our own faults, not the captains or company’s). Also, if legally you can— bring alcohol. Helps a lot with the sea sickness… like A LOT. Being on the water in a lake versus the Gulf is a totally different beast— so just bring it. Sunglasses are also a good idea, since the sun is beating off the water it can make it hard to see.

Wear sunglasses that help you see in the water. I didn’t have them on and I think it would have helped.

I would 100% advise folks to use reel tight charters if they’re in the area. Couldn’t be happier with our trips with them.

Put your sunscreen on before getting on the boat. If you are not used to fishing salt water listen to the captain on how to reel and handle the rod.

Captain Andy taught us Dramamine should be taken night before and hour before trip. Although inland we didn’t need it. But great tip I never knew! Bring cooler with snacks and drinks. Captain has cold water. Sunblock sunblock for kids. Don’t forget camera! Great experience. Be early by 15 minutes! There is a safety review and if you’re too late your canceled. We made it by 4min.

We were first timers and the captain took care of everything. Baits, shoes how to cast, advice on reeling in. Cleaned the fish for us.

Wanted to spend a morning catching fish and everyone did. Fishing offshore in the Gulf was a great experience with the right boat and captain.

Captain Chris was very accommodating to my wife that wasn’t feeling well. Made my daughter feel better when her cobia broke off.

Definitely get a local guide to put you on to some fish. It may seem expensive. However, once you factor in fuel, wear and tear on the boat, live bait, the Captains experience/knowledge, etc. it is well worth it. Even those that did not care about fishing still enjoyed the trip.
