July fishing trip

Afternoon Special4 adults2 children

Best trip ever! Captain Ryan Coleman was great. He made it a priority for my grandsons to catch fish. They are 7 and 13. They had a great time. Captain Ryan was attentive making sure everyone always had bait on the line and he had really good bait. I would recommend him highly. Probably gong to book again next year.

    Incredibly Fun Fishing

    5 Hour Trip – Nearshore

    We had an absolutely incredible day on the water with Captain Ryan! My family was down on vacation and 3 of us took a trip with him and we caught so many fish! Ryan was hands down the best captain we’ve ever had. He was knowledgeable, fun, and made sure we were on the fish at all times. He kept us in the action and made the whole day a blast. He supplied all the fishing equipment, bait and tackle and we just showed up ready to embark. We even took home our catches already filleted by Ryan and ready to enjoy. My family loved it so much they were already discussing another booking on our way to the car. We can’t wait to book another trip with him!

    Best trip in Florida!

    5 Hour Trip – Nearshore • 3 adults

    Captain Ryan is the best, he is friendly, helpful, informative and a true professional! He put us on fish fast and consistently!! He was super helpful for the first time angler we had and made the whole trip fun for us. He provided all of the drinks and even had sunblock that he offered. We had a ton of bait ready to go and plenty of rods & combos set up to fish all sorts of species. I will never use anyone else in Sarasota other than Captain Ryan. He made the whole trip for us, thanks Ryan, I cant wait to see you on the next trip out!!

    Visiting from Western New York

    5 Hour Trip – Nearshore • 5 adults • 2 children

    We booked a 5 hour near shore trip with Ryan while on family vacation at Siesta Key. From the time we showed up at the boat launch, until we walked away with a nice bag of filets, Ryan had everything covered. If you have young kids (ours are 14, 10, and 9), Ryan has the the temperant and patience to make sure they have a great time and catch something. Overall, this was an excellent eperience and we got to take home dinner as well!

    Captain Ryan 100%

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore • 6 adults • 4 children

    Captain Ryan did a fantastic job assisting in a great family experience! My son daughter and myself went out with Ryan for the 1st time today but wont be the last. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a captain who will work hard to get you on fish and have fun doing so. We were on a 4 hr inshore and caught tons of fish to include Sheeps heads, snapper, sea bass, trout, flounder, tons of grouper & lady fish. We went home with great table fair and tons of good memories. His boat was nice, comfortable and well stocked with what we needed. Ryan was fun to share fishing stories with!

    Highly Recommend LanierSpots Gulf Charters

    If you are looking for a fun day of catching fish, be it inshore or nearshore, I totally recommend going out with Captain Ryan of LanierSpots Gulf Charters. With his many years of professional fishing and guiding experience, you will learn the how and whys of the many species you will catch. I have been fortunate enough to fish with Captain Ryan several times and I'm not sure there is a species we haven't caught! Whether you are looking for table food or just a fun day of catching fish, give LanierSpots Gulf Charters a call and experience why you will become a repeat customer as well! Tight Lines.
