The guide and boat

Nate guides around Sarasota, Venice, Englewood, and Charlotte Harbor. His 18-foot Bonefish Bohemian is a technical skiff designed for shallow-water fishing. The published equipment includes Orvis rods, Nautilus reels, Scientific Anglers lines, and locally selected flies. You may bring your own outfit after discussing it with Nate.

Daytime fishing rates

The four-hour Bay Flats Session costs $550 for one to three anglers. The six-hour Inshore Odyssey is $700 for the same group size. These trips can explore grass flats, mangroves, creeks, and oyster bars for snook, redfish, trout, and other seasonal fish.

Night and beach trips

Four-hour After Hours Sight Fishing is $500 for one to three anglers. It focuses on fish feeding around dock lights. The seasonal Stroll on the Beach is a guided walking trip, not a boat charter. It costs $350 for three hours and one or two anglers, with May-through-September dates advertised.

Included items and reservations

Fishing equipment, license coverage, ice, and bottled water are listed. The site advertises booking without a deposit. Confirm the cancellation policy, weather alternatives, passenger comfort, and meeting instructions. Bring sun protection and discuss your casting experience so Nate can recommend a suitable trip.
