It is officially winter here in Sarasota, Fl and the water is cold. It has been all about the Sheepshead and Snapper fishing around the docks and rocks.

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.
