We fish in the protected waters of the Inlets, Flats, Creeks and Backwater targeting Flounder, Red Drum, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Gray Trout, Ladyfish, Bluefish and Sheepshead under the bridges and dock pilings. We use both live bait and artificial bait on premium quality light tackle with spinning reels spooled with braid and florocarbon leaders so you can feel the fish!

Throughout the year the Siesta Key and Sarasota Bay Inlets produce a variety of fishing opportunities . During the spring and summer the Bait Migration brings the Flounder, Cobia, King Mackerel and Spanish Mackerel this way providing a great opportunity to land a limit! During the Fall of the year the Red Drum and Speckled Trout Fishing really heats! !
