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.

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. :)
