Amber, from Venice FL., finally got out on the water to honor her and her husbands winning bid on my Charter services.

Amber, from Venice FL., with a Red she caught and released this past week in Sarasota Bay.

Last September I donated a Charter at the Coastal Conservation Association banquet, Sarasota Chapter. The winning bid was made by Chad, and his wife Amber, from Venice Florida. We finally got out onto the water to honor their winning bid on Saturday.

We started off fishing a small oyster bar in upper Sarasota Bay. There was a lot of action at this spot, with Mullet jumping and bait. Chad managed a bluefish and a jack crevell before we moved to our next location.

Action picked up as we fished a couple small islands. Chad managed to catch a number of redfish using a quarter ounce jig head with gulp jerk shad. Amber using a popping cork with live shrimp caught her share of redfish as well.

It was a very calm and beautiful day on Sarasota Bay. All the fish were safely released to be caught again another day.

Fishing has been a lifetime passion for me. Depending on the skill level of my clients what I like to do is put them on big fish using artificial lures. I like to educating and passing on my knowledge of local history and the many sights the area has to offer while we are on the water.
