If you're hitting the Sarasota waters this October, you're in for some killer inshore action! 🌊 The tides this month are perfect for early morning and late afternoon trips—high tides between 7 AM and 10 AM, with low tides pushing into late afternoon. You know what that means…prime fishing hours are ON. 🌅

What's Biting?
Expect Redfish, Snook, and Spotted Seatrout to be active, especially with water temps cooling slightly. Plus, the Mullet run is starting to heat up, making it the ideal time to get after these predators.

Top Spots to Hit

1. New Pass: An epic spot for landing Redfish and Snook around high tide.
2. Sister Keys: Great for shallow-water action, especially for Seatrout.
3. South Lido Park: Best for some shore fishing with access to deep channels.

Best Baits & Lures

• Live shrimp or pinfish will get you those big Snook bites.
• Try using soft plastic jerk baits or paddle tails—they’re great for Redfish and Snook around structure.
• For topwater action, Zara Spook Jr. and Rapala Skitter Walks are always solid choices. 🎣

Rod Recommendations
Based on our customers' top picks, a 7' medium-heavy spinning rod paired with a 3000 series reel is your go-to. It's versatile, durable, and handles those big Sarasota reds like a dream!
