This was our first time and Darius was prepared. Perfect if you want to get in snook, redfish and trout.

It was good fishing, it goes without saying though, that it will vary from season to season. It was my first time fishing in Bradenton Beach, but I will be doing again in a few months.

Sign up with Captain Brian Galasso. He landed us on fish and taught us quickly how to fish the areas he took us to.
Great time! Highly recommend!
Thanks Brian

Maybe research the type of fish you want to catch? Ask locals or your Captain? Our Captain asked us and no one in the group knew what we wanted to fish for. Our Captain was happy to help us out. We had a great time!

Even when the gulf looks smooth it is rougher than you think. Dramamine, or stay in the bay.

Get a charter or guide right away. There’s too much water and different ways to do things until you see how they operate first hand.

Josh is a great guide. Caught alot of fish in many different areas. Ask him to take you to the "honey Hole" dock fishing. Caught a fish on almost every single cast. This is a true review..Mark Gleisner, Oconomowoc, wisconsin.

Lots of sunshine and beautiful waters - we even saw dolphins. Super easy to get to boat and free parking to boot.

Captain Scott was great, he put us on the fish. At each stop he took the time to explain what type fish we may catch but also the technique that we should be using. We had a great day, catching snapper, catfish and a tripletail. This trip truly had the fish that got away, a giant tripletail that got away as it neared the boat. We definitely would recommend him and looking forward to future trips.

Water temp is a very warm 90⁰ plus, so certain types of fish are not running and/or biting. Sarasota is still beautiful this time of year, so I would still recommend it.

Be flexible with inshore offshore when the trip comes around. We wanted offshore but when the seas are rough the bays are protected and much calmer

Wait until the water warms up March to November also check and see if the boat has a bathroom what they are going to use for bait get exactly how many miles you are going out for deep-sea fishing
What fish they are going to target
