What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Nokomis, Florida for the first time?

Be specific to the captain of what you want. If the rods are not ready and the bait is not prepared, you are wasting valuable time. This is expensive. If it is fish you want to catch and eat. Tell him multiple times.

Talk to the Captain about what the experience level is of your group and if you want to target big fish or alot of good eating fish. I would definitely recommend Top Priority as one of the charters you book.

I fished right after the red tide, so I did not really expect much. The captain of this boat was beyond my expectations in his expertise in finding fish

Worth doing for sure. Try off-shore or near-shore in summer and back-water is usually good winter months when it is cooler. The backwater gets too hot in summer....fish head for deeper water.

With the red tide this time of year isn’t the best time. The red tide throws the fishing off a little but still can catch plenty of fish.

July is stifling heat and amazing fishing. Wear a hat. Cover yorself in sunscreen and get ready to reel.

Make sure you have plenty of sun screen. A cooler with a lot of drinks and the appropriate fishing clothing.

It’s a blast with captain Greg. His boat was awesome and the fish were plentiful.

Call ahead and double check fish season closures if you plan on targeting specific fish for the table. Boat trips are relatively quick to the productive fishing spots.

Fish off walls in shady areas during the day, under bridges during tide change at night and early morning.

Great experience, our capitan did everything he could to make sure we came back with lots of fish and make it fun for us, will definitely do it again!!!

Yes I would . Eight of us went had a good time and caught a lot of fish probably Adout 30 apiece . Good times good captain ...

Fish inshore for non stop action fish way offshore for bigger fish but might get only a couple
