Even though it is mostly summer all year round in Florida, fall still uniquely arrives on the peninsula! The summer heat comes down to cooler temperatures and the summer crowds die down as well. Not only do you have a great opportunity for a beach getaway in autumn, but you can take on the Florida waters with some fall fishing in Sarasota. The cooler waters bring in more fish such as trout and mackerel along the shore and Sarasota becomes an angler’s paradise. Get ready to grab your fishing rod and reel in your trophy this fall!
Where to Fish
The Sarasota waters are home to a variety of fish! The Sarasota and Siesta Key beaches are prime locations to reel in a bounty of fish, either on land or on a boat. The grass flats within Sarasota Bay are also goldmines for catching larger fish too. With summer being over, the waters will be less crowded with other anglers throwing a line from early October to December.
What You Will Catch
If you decide to take on a fishing excursion in the Sarasota grass flats, you’re likely to catch fish species varying from Spanish mackerel to speckled trout. You can use either live bait or lures to secure a catch, especially from a distance if you’re on a boat. Fishing on the Sarasota and Siesta Key beaches gives you an opportunity to catch albacore and king mackerel.
