Fishing in Siesta Key

Even the name Siesta Key suggests that on this barrier island, good times are guaranteed! Whether it’s picture-perfect beaches, excellent snorkeling possibilities, or angling spots to die for, this key has it all. If you’re a newcomer fisherman, then you can take your pick among Siesta Key’s fishing charters and make the most of your time on the water.

With Sarasota and Roberts Bays on one side and the prolific Gulf of Mexico on the other, it’s no wonder that fishing is so popular. Cast your line from one of the beaches or try inshore fishing for a mixed bag that could include anything from Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Tarpon, and Snook to Sheepshead, Flounder, Ladyfish, and Jack Crevalle.

If you’re in the mood for an offshore adventure, you’re in for the time of your life. The deep waters of the Gulf are a nursery for hundreds of species, a lot of them trophy-sized. Start off with Snapper, Grouper, Cobia, and Jacks in the reefs, and as you head out further, troll for Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna. Billfish like Marlin, Sailfish, and Swordfish are also in the cards. You can also expect a variety of Sharks to make an appearance.

Fishing in Siesta Key is open year-round and you’ll easily find a guide to take you out. Avid inshore anglers will enjoy specialized full day Tarpon trips, especially in spring and summer, when the bite is at its best. Offshore aficionados can book all-day deep sea expeditions and hook a fish to remember. Vacationing families can enjoy a half day inshore excursions all year.

Reglas & Regulaciones

All licensed Siesta Key fishing charters come with the necessary licenses for everyone on board. Beach anglers need to be aware of daily catch limits and require a saltwater fishing license.

Siesta Key Temporadas de Pesca

Enero

The coldest month of the year still sees average temperatures of around 60ºF. Trout, Snook, and Redfish are all very active this time of year, so jump aboard a flats boat for some great sight casting.

Febrero

Shark fishing is at its best in the winter months, so get out on a nighttime charter to see these awesome predators at their peak. This is real monster hunting, and certainly not for the faint-hearted!

Marzo

March sees the arrival of the spring Cobia migration, with huge numbers hitting the local waters, alongside plenty of resident Grouper and Snapper. Hit the reefs and bag some good-eating fish!

Abril

You can find more and more species making their way into the local waters in the height of spring. There are still plenty of Sharks to be found, and inshore, Redfish and Snook are biting like crazy.

Mayo

The Sarasota Tarpon Tournament has been drawing in anglers looking to take on these explosive fish for the better part of a century. The competition is stiff and the fish are huge, so you better bring your A-game.

Junio

June signals the start of the best offshore fishing with Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, and even Marlin turning up on bluewater trips. Blackfin Tuna are also at their most active this time of year.

Julio

Red Snapper is in season and you're basically guaranteed to hit your limit, so get the grill ready and enjoy some of the most delicious fish the Gulf has to offer!

Agosto

Yes, August is the hottest month. Yes, it’s the most humid. Head out in the morning to beat the heat, bring plenty of sunscreen and get ready to battle anything from Grouper to Swordfish, depending on your preference.

Septiembre

The worst of the sun starts to ease off in September and you can have some productive mornings targeting Permit, Snook, and Redfish inshore. There is also less rain, making for better sight fishing.

Octubre

The offshore bite tails off, while Shark fishing starts getting more productive. No matter the time of year, however, you can always rely on some solid Snook, Redfish, and Trout catches inshore.

Noviembre

Get down to Siesta Beach for the annual Siesta Key Crystal Classic. Sand sculptors battle to outdo each other with awesome and outlandish constructions, making for great fun for the whole family.

Diciembre

Siesta Key really is the perfect place to spend the holiday season. Warm weather, lovely beaches, great fishing. If you somehow do get bored, just head up the coast to Florida's Capital of Culture.

Fish hard and be patient. Fish slow down with the cooler water temps and you may not always get what you’re after but there’s still plenty of action to be found in the winter.

I would say the family fishing trip was a great mix of fishing and shark tooth finding but if you want to just fish you might want to book just the fishing excursion. But no matter you won’t be disappointed

Trust your Capt to know what is bitting. They are on the water and know what to target and where to go. Some days are very good and some a little slower. Thats why it's called fishing and not just catching.

Chasin' Tail Fishing Charters 2 Pleasant Hill, MO

2nd year in a row with Captain Bryan. He's a class act with a ton of knowledge. Hammered the fish last year. Fish did not cooperate but not from lack of trying. Anyone who fishes knows that sometime the fish don't cooperate. Plan on coming down again next year and will not even think about getting a different Captain or guide. Want a great fishing experience pick this outfit

Being from the Midwest, this is more like lake fishing. There was no need for any motion sickness medicine like I need for deep sea fishing.

Maybe research the type of fish you want to catch? Ask locals or your Captain? Our Captain asked us and no one in the group knew what we wanted to fish for. Our Captain was happy to help us out. We had a great time!

We really just wanted the fishing/boat experience and weren’t too concerned about catching things. Only my daughter caught a fish but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Josh is a great guide. Caught alot of fish in many different areas. Ask him to take you to the "honey Hole" dock fishing. Caught a fish on almost every single cast. This is a true review..Mark Gleisner, Oconomowoc, wisconsin.

It was pretty windy while we were there. There were some storms in the Gulf that probably threw the captain some curveballs to deal with. It was a good trip, but the captain seemed a little disappointed with the results. We are from the North, so the fishing still was excellent by comparison.

We caught plenty for dinner. I had hoped to catch larger fish. They averaged 8 -12 inches. Great variety. Mostly bottom fishing. Still a lot of fun.
