really good fishing this weeks trips

Hi everyone,
just wanted to stop for a few minutes this week and fill you in on how I've been doing on my trips.
For starters , I had a great week with mangrove snappers and gag groupers. I have been having steady 60 plus mangroves and grouper mix for 4 persons on 4 hour trips.
That's what I call really good . the tide running hard and the moon rising in the late morning really sparked things up for us. I'd like to take credit for this good fishing but the fish just know when they're in the mood to feed hard.
The best part for me was seeing these good sized mangroves coming out to eat our baits. Good fun for the nice folks I had on the boat this week.

For those of you who like kingmackerel, good sized bait stacks are starting to form out in the 6 hour zone for me. That means I can take you on a 6 hour trip and guarantee that you'll catch kingfish and tunas for hours straight with 12lb class spinning tackle.
You'll be thrilled with this if your looking for big fish without having to go 30 plus miles for this type of action.
For you shark hunters, there are sharks in the 8 hour zone . Makos have been caught already by fellow charter skippers the past few days and I will be headed out there this wednesday . If I don't get a mako I'm sure to catch some blacktips on my grouper bottom. We 'll also catch some tunas and amberjacks.
Grouper fishing in this zone is closed at the momment.
well this is all I can think of at the momment. I have lots of trips that need 1 or 2 persons to fill, so call me!!! I can put you together with 2 or 3 more persons for one of the best fishing trips I know you'll find here in sarasota.
Be kind to one another It's all you can leave behind in this world,

excellent fishing now!!

Readers,
Too many fish !!! what can I say . I don't always say it but ,hay!... here it is! It's better then my normally great trips .
The bottom fishing is outstanding right now with catches of 50-80 fish for 4 hours of fishing 4 persons. Don't start doing the math in your head ,like you all love to do , just enjoy it and take this nice weather god has blessed us with down here and smile. period.
I am catching mangrove snappers, gag and red groupers , hog snappers, triggerfish and others on half day trips.
King mackerel and little tunnys(tuna)on the 6 an 8 hour trips along with the bottom fish mentioned earlier.
readers...you'll notice I'm just a cut and dry writer . sorry I just don't like to tell stories -just facts . Get me on the boat and you'll be thanking your lucky stars you picked this outfit.
10 hour trips amberjacks, kingfish, groupers ,snappers and others.all big fish. I here theres a mako(shark) out there if you would like me to get him on the line for you (seriously). My 12 year old angler got one last feb .
Thanks for stopping by , I'm committed to keeeping you all on the fish out there and giving the unmatched fast service Im famous for.
peace be with you,

Greetings Everyone,
Hope you all up north can still feel your brains.
Come to your senses and get down here before you turn into a frozen block! I just want you to get here and get fish'in so you can warm those ol' bones and crack some smiles too.
It may not be as warm as you would like, but it's not 5 degrees.
This past week has been very windy with cold fronts moving though. I havent made much of anything lately but I did manage to cut my foot with an axe this week. See , this is what happens to a fishing guide who's tryin to keep busy round the off season. Honey do's leading to honey can you come home and bring me to the doctors.('__>)
I suspect though the fish are still gathering up offshore on the ledges. It's been a couple of weeks since I've been to my deep offshore spots and I'll bet they are just filling with mangrove snappers ,groupers and other assorted rod benders.
The kingmackerel are still out there in the 80 foot zone for your 8 hour trips . They provide excellent action on the light tackle I provide you. This picture is a good example of an 8 hour day we fished kings and then decided to go bottom fishing for some groupers.
Lately, the water temps have been hanging around 68-71degree zone.Sooooooo any good weather stretch between now and march will mean a sooner beach session for the sight fishing of cobia.

If you have never done this you are in for a treat.
I use my smaller 25foot boat "catch the spirit" for this type of fishing.
The trip starts out driving down the local beaches in search of the fish and ends up with you seeing the pods of fish and casting at them for a hook up.
This is one of my favorite fish to catch. The only way for me to describe the day is ,..this type of fishing is the reason why I'm a guide.
Come see for yourself , better yet , call me I will be happy to share the details and costs for the trip. This is for all of march and april.
Then we have the close in kingmackerel and tuna run///// most of you who fish with me already know. Febuary .........it's a great month to dream about march and april.
Be good to each other and take care,
capt . Tommy Tinacci
