Trips to famous angling destinations like Sarasota Bay, the Charlotte Harbor back country, Tampa Bay and the gulf beaches for world-class tarpon fishing are among the options available. Another specialty with a decided twist on the usual is night snook trips on fly and light tackle spinning gear.
Passes like Longboat , New Pass. Big Pass, Stump, Gasparilla and Venice Inlet flush the bays and backwaters and provide seasonal action for pompano, bluefish, sheepshead, jack crevalle and ladyfish. Charlotte Harbor is an unspoiled estuary that gives us a glimpse into Florida's past. Sarasota and Little Sarasota Bay provids a haven for many species of fish during the winter and spring months and it's many oyster bars, docks and creeks make it a great area for snook, trout, ladyfish, redfish, flounder or sheepshead during cooler weather.
Sarasota Bay is a beautiful bay that is easy to fish due to its many different types of habitat, from wide open flats to coves, bars and mangrove shorelines.
All in all, fishing this part of Florida is one of the most rewarding and rich angling experiences available anywhere in the world.
