Greetings,
Continued great weather and excellent kingfishing are going on strong!!!! All that can be said right now is to drop what your doing and go fishing when it's good. Golf later //// fishing when it's good. You'll have plenty of time while you're down here to golf. First you need food and kings are delicious fish to cook up. I will not get into my famous receipies now, but when you're on the dock and watching me expertly clean them for you, I'll fill you in.
I will not get into how I catch them either, no, I'm holding out for my own show on bspn. Kings are not the only fish we are catching. If you can get on one of our 10hr trips to the deep water, I've been getting into the American red snapper. Great fighting on light tackle and a taste so good, your tongue will beat your skull silly man. Besides that, red and black groupers are givin it up too. Half a dozen groupers and a mixture of red, mangrove and yellowtail snappers is what we average, in addition to amberjacks kingfish and or shark and or tunas. 300lbs + on any givin 10hr day is an average catch.
Plenty of fun and food for everyone on your trip. You'll even be in good with the neighbors after you share some with them! Everybody enjoys when you go fishing, what a country. The water seems to be one of the only places left to go where you'll never find a crowd - that's awesome!
B y the way, we consistantly put you on big fish with light tackle --- for 15 years now in Sarasota, Catch The Spirit and Capt . Tommy Tinacci continue to strickly use only light tackle for your pleasure.
Thank you and take good care of each other,
Tommy Tinacci

Fishing Report for April 17, 2006
Greetings everyone,
Just wanted to take a momemt and let you all know how I did this week. I’m still fishing kingfish and tuna off the beaches and they are making their way further offshore. The bait is too, which means to you and me a longer ride to the fish, but not much though, 15 minutes maybe. The kings have been so cooperative this year and no signs of red tide anywhere in our area.
This has been a terrific season for us here at Catch The Spirit. My charters this week were very happy with what they caught. Big Spanish mackerel and king mackerel have been flying over the rail onto the Ahi Spirit, my offshore boat. The fish are ranging from 5 to 15lb-ers, a great fight on the light tackle rods that I suppy everyone. I use Troll Yozuri lures exclusively, crystal minnows to be exact. I find they are as close to having the perfect sardine at the other end of you line as you will ever find. Hands down, they are the best lure in the world in my opinion. And they don’t even sponsor me! Anyway, they always produce when the fish are in or out of the mood and better than bait because you can fish faster without having to rebait.
The amount of kings we are catching right now is borderline obsene. The fish are plentiful if you know how to find them. You just don’t go out there and troll and start catching them, unless your behind me offshore. :) Our highlight catch of the week was a 30lb cobia that hit our trolled yozuri, caught by Pete DeWolfe from Ohio. Ok, well that pretty much sums up the kingfish inshore bite on the 4 and 6 hour trips. As for the offshore trips in the 30 - 50 mile zone, 8-12 hr trips, we had a 12-hour blaster this past week and I’m waiting for the folks to email me some pictures. They caught amberjacks consistently in the 25lb class on light tackle. Then we made several stops on some of my grouper and snapper holes. We managed to land 7 grouper and 6 snapper for the rest of the day. Beautiful weather, a nice ride out, and more fish than we needed… Nice!!
Well, enjoy your week and hope you get the chance to fish soon!

Fishing Report for April 12, 2006
Greetings everyone!
Just wanted to report that the fishing is fast and exciting right now off Sarasota. We are all workin' our butts off down here catching a lot of fish and getting little sleep.
For starters, 4 and 6 hour trips have been just pounding the kingfish, Spanish mackerel, and little tunnys (10lb tuna). This is top water fishing at its best. The Spanish mackerel have been jumbo sized (2-8lbs) and the kingfish 7-15lbs average, with the exception of a fine 19lb-er caught this week. We only use light tackle to catch them as many of you already know.
Catches have been in the range of 40-60 fish per hour worth of fishing!!! Yes,.. one hour!! For the offshore 8 and 10 hour trips, we are catching amberjacks, grouper, and snapper. Mixed in with the last 8hr was some barracuda. They were in the 12 lb class. The jacks have been fired up and hitting topwater zara spooks. Lane and mangrove snapper were also on the menu this week. Fishing in general this time of year is hard to beat. The weather this year has been mild and no rain at all. The videos i included are the best I could do while taking care of my crew. Well, I'm off to my next trip. Until next time, keep your lines tight.
Captain Tommy Tinacci
PS: My 25' boat and 36' are running and either can be available for you to charter. Please make your reservations at least 2 weeks in advance to get the day you want. We have charters everyday this time of year and so over-extending myself only goes so far. I don't fish at night right now because I'm just too tired by then. :)
