Half Day Trip with Sarasota Family Fishing

Half Day Trip–Inshore/Nearshore AM

My family and I have had the opportunity to fish with Captain Scott on many occasions. Scott lives to fish, and nothing makes him happier than making sure that his clients have an amazing day on the water. Scott was attentive, kind, and no one works harder to get you on fish. I have been on many charters, and can say that Sarasota Family Fishing is a cut above the rest. I would highly recommend

    My 9 year old son loves fishing. This was his first ocean fishing experience. My son said, Captain Scott was really nice, knew a lot of good spots, and gave him good tips. I highly recommend!

    Caught the limit - fantastic time!

    3 hour private Inshore/Nearshore PM • 1 adult

    Got out with Scott a little way off the coast where said Bonito had been turning up at a very particular time. Right on schedule they literally ‘appeared’ and had a great time chasing them around positioning well for each cast. Then headed in for some other species where bagged out on Sea Trout (plus 20 or so that didn’t make size). Filleted them up back at the ramp for me and off I went. All in a 4 Hour charter. A fantastic time! :)
