Mantanzas Pass Fishing Pier
A public fishing pier in the Sarasota Bay and Charlotte Harbor area. Piers put you over deeper water than the beach, so expect the passing schools first: mackerel, pompano and bluefish in season, sheepshead and drum on the pilings, and snook or snapper in the shadow line at night.
