The bite has been productive. Inshore and nearshore bite has produced snappers that will reopen Jan 1. The redfish snook and trout are gorging on white bait before the water gets too cold. Good fishing good fun filling coolers

Nearshore and inshore fishing has been on fire. We have been seeing some big schools of redfish moving through our waters. Snook are cruising the rocks in the jetties. Nearshore fishing has been fun. Gag groupers, lane snappers, mangroves and muttons too! Super fun on light tackle!

Had an awesome day on the water with Marc. Despite cold and windy weather, Marc worked hard to make sure we caught fish. My niece said it was her “best fishing trip ever!” Will definitely ask Marc to take us out again in the future.

Cody was amazing. I have two teenage daughters and he was very patient and helpful. We caught over 80 fish in 3.5 hours. It was a great experience!! We caught Sea Trout, Ladyfish, Catfish, Jack Fish, Spanish Mackerel, and Flounder. When we return to Sarasota, we will be giving Cody a call for another trip.
