Fishing Report for January 22, 2006

Greetings ,
This weekend's overcast weather helped produce some exciting fishing for us offshore. The seas were less than 2 ft and it made for a great 2 hour run out there to the big fish!

We caught plenty of amberjack in the 15-35lb range and that made for many sore wrists to go along with the purple welt many of my clients got from putting the rod in there guts this weekend! (just kidding!)

Actually it was very enjoyable for me to see my clients so happy when their rods came alive with the stike of another amberjack. Most people who have never caught an amberjack don't realize how hard they pull, but when they set the hook into one and lean back on the rod to see what they have .......well.....it's like my friend Brad Boland say's, " You'd better grab your hat and your a** cause you're gonna need both of them!"

If you have never been out deep sea fishing in Sarasota, treat your family or friends to an 8 or 10 hour all-day fishing excursion on my new 36 foot downeaster 'Ahi Spirit.' You will absolutely love it! I still do, unless the weather's really bad. Longer trips just give you more fishing time out there and believe me, you could stay out there all night catching fish. I would be happy to show you around out there. We hit as many spots as we can fishing as a team. The spots are found using my high-intensity bottom recorder. We normally catch grouper, snapper, and amberjacks. All taste wonderful and I have some really good recipies for cooking them all. There are a few recipies I suggest over others though. The fish you catch are kept alive to ensure freshness upon arrival to the dock and then filleted and packaged.

I posted a video sample below of 2 couples that joined me this weekend for my 8 hour trip. The four chartered me for the day. The total cost was 00, which including gratuity. They mentioned to me that they had enough a couple of times, but it was hard to hear them over their laughing and grunting while fighting the fish they caught!
Enjoy the sample. Thank you and be good to each other!

PS: I try to put together 8 hour split trips every week so it can be more affordable for all of us -0 per person or private boat 00 (6 person max). This week I'm running splits Thursday, Friday, and Saturday - 8 am - 4 pm.
