trip description for Backcountry Fire Up! in Sarasota

Sarasota Bay offers a vast array of angling options, including the mile long sand bar (appropriately named Long Bar) where you can sight cast to snook, redfish and trout. Endless deep grass flats like Jon Ringling Museum Flats, Long Boat Key Flats, or Marina Jacks Flats, offer a vast array of species such as Snook, redfish, seatrout, ladyfish, jack crevalle, flounder, bluefish, mackerel, pompano and more. Sarasota is the perfect family fishing experience. Sarasota Bay is fed by 3 passes - Big Pass, New Pass and Longboat Key Pass – and this allows migratory fish such as mackerel, pompano, bluefish to move easily into the bay during winter months. If fishing the inshore flats, we will be targeting the big three SW Fl gamefish snook, redfish, seatrout. We will be fishing in and around the many mangrove islands and sand bars of Sarasota Bay. This area is loaded with shallow grass flats, miles of mangrove lines, oyster bars and potholes, providing prime fishing grounds for this type of fishing. Just outside the passes near shore along Siesta Key, Casey Key, and Longboat Key, there’s Bonita, mackerel, king mackerel, Spanish mackerel and triple tail. Sarasota tarpon fishing off the beaches is tremendous when they migrate here in May, June and July. a little further offshore we fish reefs and wrecks for snapper, Cobia, barracuda, key west grunts, Sheepshead, sharks, snapper and more.

trip description for Tampa Bay Inshore/Nearshore Classic in Tampa

Head out for an awesome fishing adventure around Holmes Beach, FL with Captain Joe! On this trip, you'll double up and chase classic inshore species such as Redfish, Black Drum, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, and Spotted Trout, then head a little further out to go after gamefish like Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, and Jack Crevalle. The shallow grass flats in this are full of crabs, shrimp, and baitfish which in turn attract the big gamefish, so you'll have no shortage of opportunities for that personal best! You'll be fishing from the deck of Captain Joe's 23' Ranger bay boat, an ideal vessel for fishing these waters. Fishing the shallow flats requires patience and attention to detail. Fish are spooky in water that is only a couple of feet deep. The beauty of Captain Joe's bay boat is that it has a shallow enough draft to get you good shots up on the flats and in the back bays and inlets, while also having enough room and stability to haul it further out on a nice day! All of Captain Joe' trips include top-tier fishing gear, live bait, licenses, and fish cleaning at end of the trip. There is plenty of room in the cooler as well for your favorite snacks and drinks if you'd like to bring them along as well. Of course, we always recommend that you bring sunscreen, proper clothing, and a pair of sunglasses as well! Read More

Situated near the bustling city of St. Petersburg, Tierra Verde boasts an array of pristine waters teeming with redfish, known for their spirited fight and delectable taste. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a novice, the abundance of redfish in these waters ensures an unforgettable adventure for all.

One of the key attractions of redfish fishing in Tierra Verde is the diversity of habitats that these fish inhabit. From shallow flats to winding mangrove-lined channels, the area offers a variety of environments to explore. Anglers can choose from a range of techniques, including sight fishing in the crystal-clear shallows or targeting deeper holes and oyster bars. This diversity adds an element of excitement to each outing, as you never quite know what to expect when casting your line.

Apart from the thrill of the catch, redfish fishing in Tierra Verde provides an opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the region.

Whether you're in pursuit of trophy-sized redfish or simply looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Tierra Verde offers an idyllic setting for an unforgettable fishing experience.

What are the most popular months to fish for redfish fishing in Tierra Verde?

Understanding the redfish seasons in Tierra Verde is crucial for planning a successful fishing trip in this picturesque region of Florida. Like many other species, redfish exhibit seasonal patterns influenced by factors such as water temperature, weather conditions, and spawning behavior. Typically, the prime seasons for redfish fishing in Tierra Verde coincide with the cooler months of fall and winter. During these times, redfish tend to congregate in shallower waters, making them more accessible to anglers.

In the fall, as temperatures begin to drop and baitfish migrate, redfish become more active along the flats and inshore areas of Tierra Verde. This period marks the beginning of the "bull redfish" season, when larger specimens gather in schools to feed voraciously before the onset of winter. Anglers targeting these trophy-sized redfish often employ a variety of techniques, including casting artificial lures, live bait fishing, and fly fishing. Additionally, the fall season offers relatively mild weather and fewer crowds, making it an ideal time to explore the bountiful waters of Tierra Verde.

As winter sets in, redfish continue to provide anglers with ample opportunities for excitement and challenge. While water temperatures may drop, leading to a decrease in overall fish activity, dedicated anglers can still find success by targeting deeper channels, oyster bars, and other structures where redfish seek refuge from the cooler temperatures. Moreover, the winter months in Tierra Verde offer stunning scenery and serene fishing conditions, with clear blue skies and calm waters creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable day on the water. Whether you're chasing trophy redfish or simply enjoying the tranquility of the season, Tierra Verde's winter fishing opportunities are not to be missed.

What techniques are popular for catching redfish in Tierra Verde?

Redfish fishing in Tierra Verde demands a diverse set of techniques to adapt to the changing conditions and habitats of the area. One popular method among anglers is sight fishing, particularly in the shallower flats where redfish often roam. Using polarized sunglasses to spot the fish cruising in the clear waters, anglers can quietly approach and present baits or lures with precision. This technique requires patience and keen observation but can lead to thrilling hookups with wary redfish.

For those targeting redfish in deeper waters or around structures like mangroves and oyster bars, casting and retrieving artificial lures can be highly effective. Soft plastic swimbaits, spoons, and topwater plugs mimic the natural prey of redfish and entice strikes when worked skillfully. Working these lures along the edges of channels or bouncing them off the bottom near structure can trigger aggressive strikes from hungry redfish. Additionally, using live bait such as shrimp, mullet, or pinfish on a Carolina rig or under a popping cork can be irresistible to redfish, especially when fishing in areas with strong currents or murky waters.

Fly fishing enthusiasts also have ample opportunities to target redfish in Tierra Verde using specialized techniques. Whether sight fishing on the flats or probing deeper waters, fly anglers often use patterns such as crab and shrimp imitations to entice strikes from redfish. Precision casting and careful presentation are essential when fly fishing for redfish, as these fish can be selective and easily spooked in clear waters. By matching the hatch and understanding the movements of redfish in different habitats, fly anglers can enjoy rewarding success in Tierra Verde's diverse fishing grounds.

What other species are popular in Tierra Verde?

In addition to the renowned redfish, Tierra Verde offers anglers a diverse array of other species to target, ensuring excitement and variety on the water. One highly sought-after species is the snook, known for its powerful runs and acrobatic leaps. Tierra Verde's mangrove-lined shorelines, bridges, and tidal flats provide prime habitat for snook, especially during their seasonal migrations. Anglers often use live bait, such as pilchards or mullet, as well as artificial lures like jerkbaits and swimbaits, to entice strikes from these elusive fish.

Another prized catch in Tierra Verde's waters is the spotted seatrout, a popular game fish renowned for its delicious taste and spirited fight. These fish are abundant in the shallow grass flats and deeper channels of Tierra Verde, particularly during the cooler months of fall and winter. Anglers typically target seatrout using live shrimp, artificial lures like soft plastics or topwater plugs, and occasionally, fly fishing techniques. Whether you're a novice angler or a seasoned veteran, reeling in a trophy-sized seatrout can be a highlight of any fishing excursion in Tierra Verde.

For anglers seeking an adrenaline rush, Tierra Verde also offers opportunities to target hard-fighting species such as tarpon, jack crevalle, and even sharks. Tarpon, in particular, are known for their spectacular aerial displays and are often pursued by anglers during their seasonal migrations along the coast. Meanwhile, jack crevalle provide fast-paced action and can be found patrolling the flats and nearshore waters year-round. With its rich biodiversity and varied habitats, Tierra Verde promises an exhilarating fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels, with an abundance of species to target throughout the year.

    Captain Nick tried his best but the fish just weren't biting. Nick was very nice and knowledgeable we just wish we caught more fish.

    Andy G. with Nick H. of Clearwater, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Did a nice job trying to get us on fish. Hustled his rear off. Seemed a bit overwhelming having 4 on the boat who had never fished the flats before and several being relative novices for just 1 crew member. As a result about 1/3 the time 1-2 of our party weren’t fishing as we could have been. He was working hard though … much appreciated! Would highly recommend a 2nd crew member when there are inexperienced people it will be a tight fit though but think it would improve the experience. Tyson was nice, polite, knowledgeable and very patient thanks for the experience. Would highly recommend especially if you’ve done this type of fishing before. Thanks Tyson!

    We had Captain Brett for our day of fishing. What an amazing day we had. We caught multiple fish we could keep and multiple fish we couldn’t keep. We had the experience of seeing multiple species that we didn’t catch. We saw a bull shark, a Goliath Grouper, a loggerhead turtle, and a manatee. We hooked in to a giant. Watching Brett and my brother work together to get this fish in was spectacular. The team work that it took as well as the skill. He was also great for those of us that were less experienced. He was so pleasant and kind while helping me change my techniques so I caught fish verses continuously just feeding the fish. He did great with my teenage son. Brett is a great communicator. We will go with Brett again.

    Had a great day fishing with Captain Nick Hughs! Trip started on time with nearly perfect weather. Boat was ready to go with all the bait and tackle we needed. Although the fish were hard to find, we did land a nice Snook. Nick worked his fanny off trying to get us on the fish. He’s a great Capt. and great host!
