Shallow Water Fishing

Thanks for discovering the home of Quiet Waters, a specialized flats fishing guide service based out of Sarasota, Florida. If your interest or passion involves the finer things like fly fishing or using light tackle with artificial baits to target inshore fish, then this may be the shallow water guided experience you are seeking.

The shallow flats and clear water around Sarasota offer unique opportunities for serious anglers during the day. Snook, redfish, and seatrout are the main inshore gamefish we target on the flats. In Sarasota, tarpon are a great option for much of the year. Quiet Waters offers a variety of sight fishing trips in shallow water that are specifically designed for anglers that love to hunt fish.

Captain Brian Boehm is the owner of Quiet Waters Fishing. Brian is an experienced and talented guide. He spent his youth learning and fishing the waters along the Gulf Coast of Sarasota, Florida before moving to the Midwest with his parents and siblings for high school. He started his own family with his wife Kate in Wisconsin. Together they moved their young family of five down to Florida. They can’t imagine living or raising a family anywhere else.

Being a saltwater guide is a natural fit for Captain Brian. He loves what he does and you won’t find many other guides that work as diligently as he does to put his anglers on quality fish. He has a low-key, yet fun personality and is incredibly patient. He loves talking and teaching fishing and enjoys general conversations about the gift of life.
