A truly wonderful thing about fishing the West Coast of Florida is not only the diversity of fish or the natural beauty of the barrier islands, waterways, back country and near shore but the availability to fish all in a day or better yet 2, 3, 4, or more days.

One of our favorite fishing trips leaves from Madeira Beach and then fish locations between our starting point and Sarasota. We have holes for Red Fish, Snook, Trout, Sheepshead, Mackeral, and more on the way. This first day combines mangrove site fishing with some deeper water action off Egmont Key. We'll head in for lunch around Sarasota or Anna Maria Island. Depending on season, water, weather, etc. we may go off Anna Maria to try our hand at Permit, Grouper, Snapper, or site fish inside for Reds, Snook, Trout. We like to stay in Sarasota the first night and enjoy some of the great restaurants near the dowtown area or St. Armands.

Day two will find us meandering down the coast headed for Boca Grande. We'll hit the water early to snag some bait, ladyfish, pins, etc. and then follow the birds and see what's running off near shore and grassy areas on our way. We'll fish the pass at Boca, the near shore troughs, or scoot inside to the grass in Charlotte Harbor depending on where the action seems to be. Lunch usually finds us at Cabbage Key for cheesburgers and check in for our accommodations for the night or nights to come. The next day(s) we'll fish Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, Captiva to Sanibel area flats, mangroves, etc.

The last day we'll leave from Cabbage Key and fish our way back to Sarasota for lunch and then fish back to Madeira Beach.

Food, drink, while on island for breakfast, lunch or dinner are not included.

You'll have a designated time for shove off and you'll want to be on board on time. For lunch typically we'll all moor at a restaurant that offers docking and proximity to our fishing area du jour.
