Where We Fish

Inshore Addict Charters runs trips throughout Sarasota Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the surrounding inshore and nearshore waters of Florida’s Gulf Coast. From the flats of Bradenton to the mangroves near Venice, each area is chosen for its seasonal action and species variety — redfish, snook, trout, tarpon, and more. This map highlights the waters we fish regularly, giving you a preview of the incredible spots we’ll explore together.

  • “Capt. Matt is hands down one of the best guides I've ever had the pleasure to fish with. My wife and I came down from Charleston SC with the goal to catch a Tarpon and Capt. Matt put me on the fish of a life time! We fished two days, lots of sight seeing to please my wife as well as catching many snook. I can't recommend him enough, if you have any doubt or looking for a great guide you need to give him a call. This man will stop at nothing to put you on fish.

    Thank again Capt. we will see you next year!”
