Trips Available with Fly Fish Sarasota

Private Dock Light Sight Fishing

Fishing

Starting At $450

Private Dock Light Sight Fishing

Fishing Area: Sarasota

Fishing: Inshore

Fishing Boat:

Bonefish Bohemian • 18' Bonefish • Max 4 guests (base trip price includes 4 guests)

Description:

This after-dark adventure focuses on one of the area’s most exciting and visual fishing opportunities: dock light fishing. This is definitely one of my most requested trips from returning clients. As the sun sets and the temperature cools the action heats up as snook and tarpon begin feeding in the glow of artificial lights. These fish are lit up and aggressive making for a visually epic night of presenting flies and lures to hungry fish, watching them eat and then hanging on. Fly fishers often have the advantage on this trip because delicate presentations are often preferred.

Private Half Day Flats Fishing

Fishing

Starting At $450

Private Half Day Flats Fishing

Fishing Area: Sarasota

Fishing: Flats

Fishing Boat:

Bonefish Bohemian • 18' Bonefish • Max 4 guests (base trip price includes 4 guests)

Description:

A half-day session focused on deeper grass flats and adjacent structure where Sarasota’s most accessible inshore action happens. Target snook, trout, mackerel, pompano, grouper, jacks, ladyfish and more depending on the season. The beauty of this trip is the consistent action and incredible variety of species. Great for anglers looking for an extremely engaging trip with constant casting and hook ups.

Private Full Day Flats Fishing

Fishing

Starting At $600

Private Full Day Flats Fishing

Fishing Area: Sarasota

Fishing: Flats

Fishing Boat:

Bonefish Bohemian • 18' Bonefish • Max 4 guests (base trip price includes 4 guests)

Description:

This full-day trip is all about exploration. The immense amount of water around Sarasota naturally provides endless habitat for many species. In addition to probing deep grass flats we can also work mangrove shorelines, oyster beds, tidal creeks, sandbars, and other fishy zones across Sarasota Bay. The extra hours also allows us to fish multiple tide phases meaning more species, more shots, and a fuller picture of what this fishery has to offer.

Fly Fish Sarasota Bonefish Boat

You’ll fish from an 18’ Bonefish Bohemian, a technical skiff built to run shallow, track quietly, cut chop and give us access to areas that many boats can’t reach. It offers a more intimate experience with the fishery than larger bay boats. It’s clean, stable, and overall a fish catching machine.

Had an opportunity to get on the water with Nate today, what an amazing time. We hit the backcountry and immediately found the tarpon. I struggled a bit with my casting, but Nate was quick to point out the saltwater ways of fly fishing. We had an infinite number of shots at tarpon. We managed to jump a few fish and had several exciting misses. Nate was a great coach throughout the process. He showed incredible patience and composure, especially when I somehow managed to break his favorite rod. Overall, my experience with Nate was great. I would highly recommend you get out on the water with Nate and enjoy the beautiful scenery and great fishing south Florida has to offer.

Fished last night with Captain Nate, the whole experience was amazing. Sight casting with a fly rod for Snook & Sea Trout, was a new experience & one I will not forget & will repeat. Captain Nate was very knowledgeable of the area & which dock lights to target for the best fish. Practice your fly fish techniques & try this out you will not be disappointed. An awesome way to spend an evening after sunset, catching quality fish. Thank you Captain Nate.

We had the best time with Capt. Nate. Our 12 year old wanted to try some saltwater fly fishing (he’s experienced with mountain trout) and Nate had him on sea trout on almost the first cast! He caught several! We tried some structural and mangrove spots as well - all in all it was our son’s highlight of the trip ! Nate helped with some coaching and kept the momentum going throughout our beautiful bay excursion. Highly recommend Capt Nate!

Nate was a fantastic guide for my morning trip on my last day of vacation. I was looking for someone to take me out on my last day and I’m glad I found Nate! He was professional, very responsive and brought me out for an awesome early morning snook bite. I had a blast casting on lights in the dark that I was brought too, and the captain was very knowledgeable. I’ve been fishing for years, and my trip was definitely one of the coolest and fun trips I’ve done in a long time. I highly Recommend Nate to anyone who is looking to experience a great Snook bite. Thank you once again for a great trip!

Captain Nate is great! He took myself and my two sons out fly fishing and really made sure they had a great time. My boys talked about it for 3 days afterwards. Can’t wait to come back

Nate took us out on a night fishing trip and got us into the fish immediately! We caught lots of snook and a few trout. He was very professional and has a super clean skiff that was perfect to fish from. Overall a great experience. Would recommend, 10/10.
