Book with Dawson Day
The waters surrounding Sarasota Bay make it a popular place for both inshore and nearshore fishing. There are numerous hidden inlets and bays dotting the coastline, as well as estuaries that provide amazing grounds for fish to feed and breed! Catch Sarasota Fishing Charters takes advantage of this and is sure to put you on the best fishing spots around! Captain Dawson Day, a Sarasota native, began fishing at an early age and has been operating this Charter service for the last six years. He obtained his Captain's License when he was eighteen and feels that fishing is in his blood—he'd rather not be doing anything else!

The boat sports twin power pole blades, a trolling motor, a jack plate—and even an optional T-top for sun protection. Captain Day provides his customers with the highest quality fishing gear available: St. Croix rods, Florida Fishing Products reels – and when you step on board "CATCH," you get to fish with the best equipment around! The boat can accommodate up to 4 guests at a time, and all fishers will have the chance to catch their fish. Captain Dawson provides plenty of water for everyone on board but you are welcome to bring your drinks and snacks if you'd like some extra refreshment.

Redfish, Sea Trout, Tarpon, Jacks, and Snook are some of the most sought-after species among saltwater anglers, but there are many other tasty game fish that can be caught on these fishing grounds. Customers are encouraged to bring sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and appropriate clothing. Kids are very much welcome aboard!

Great Half day Trip of catch-and-release action on inshore Snook and Jacks!! All four of us caught way too many fish to count let allow the screaming hookups we didn’t land. Captain Dawson knows where to find them and how to get them into the boat! Best four hours of charter fishing I’ve ever had! Thanks again, Dawson!!!
