Fishing Trip
If it's fishing you want then it's fishing you get - no problems. A cooler full of ice will be provided for your drinks and snacks. Your tackle and fishing license is provided. If you are a catch & release angler, your fish will be released. If you would like to take home dinner, the captain will clean and bag your catch.

Sight Seeing Trip
Then that's just what we will do. You will have a cooler full of ice for your drinks and snacks. Play the stereo if you wish. Use the boat and tower as a platform for sighting dolphins and manatees. Stop at a beach or island to chill awhile. Go to a local restaurant for lunch or bring you own.

Photography Trip
Captain Terry has two hobbies, fishing and wildlife photography. He can put you at the right place at the right time. I have several options for photographers from just doing it yourself to instruction from a professional wildlife photographer. Please see www.naturetourflorida.com for complete details. This site includes photos taken from the boat in this area giving you a complete idea of what you will find.  

Custom Trip
An example of a custom trip: Anglers meet at the dock in the morning and fish the first few hours. At a time when your party agrees meet at the dock to pick up the non-anglers and spend the remainder of the trip sight seeing and taking photos. Go for a dip to cool off or hit a local restaurant for lunch. It's you day plan it any way you wish.

Note: Most restaurants are casual - flip flops, bathing suits, and T-shirts are the normal attire.


Kids Kids Kids - Why Not?
Kids are a pleasure - Catch a little fish on the rod & reels, enjoy spotting dolphins playing in Sarasota Bay, and observe manatees basking in the shallows. Several species of shorebirds can be seen, sea gulls, pelicans, herons, egrets, and ospreys to name a few. A day on the Bay is very entertaining and educational, not only for the kids, but for the whole family.




When the husbands were out playing golf these ladies decided to bring home the bacon.

 

Two Great Blue Herons on their nest during courtship. These were taken at the Siesta Rookery Islands in Roberts Bay. Starting in the cool months and lasting into the summer over five different species of birds nest on these islands. This makes for fantastic photography and sight seeing trips.

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is hearing that a child has caught their first fish.  These two young ladies did just that, showing off a nice flounder caught using a live shrimp for bait.

Run the mouse arrow over the photo for another first.

 



Is this little guy cute or what?

Run the mouse arrow over the photo for another cute couple of young anglers 

When it came to dinner this little guy didn't fool around, he caught Grandpa a nice Redfish.

A couple little ladies didn't fool around either when it came to dinner, run your mouse arrow over the photo to see a nice trout ready for the frying pan.
