This past week saw Tristan, from Hamptonville NC, catch this beautiful spotted sea trout while fishing Longboat Key with Capt. Brandon. The weather was warm to be sure but being on the water seemed to take a bite out of the heat. Still, it’s best to get out on the water early to avoid the high sun. Remember, if you plan on being out on the water bring along plenty of sunblock, and don’t forget some protective clothing.
April Ford was all smile when I snapped this photo of her and this 28 inch, 6.8 lb, gator trout, she caught while fishing with me off of Longboat Key, it was live released by first mate Doug, shown here presenting it to the camera. All in all it was a beautiful day on the water.
