Bonita and mackerel bait fish, 30" barracuda and 40" amberjack. Fishing was a little slow but it's still a good time.
fishing has been really good. Too bad they won't go out to where the big fish are! Last time we did a grouper/snapper trip we went 36 miles out. Every time the bait hit the bottom got a bite.Have a charter booked for Tuesday in Siesta Key. Near shore/inshore since the rest of my party isn't down for going out past the point of seeing land.
It was great for us last Tuesday. Too rough to get out on the Gulf but we caught plenty of fish in Roberts and Sarasota Bay. Enough snapper for the five of us to make dinner with some leftover for the captain and mate. Caught tons of snook, a few jacks, a trout and a nice redfish.fishing has been really good.

Last bite of day hooked into a goliath which was fun to fight for 10 minutes until it decided it had had enough and broke the hook.
