During college and after college I took dozens of friends, brother’s friends, friend’s of friends fishing to better hone the service part of fishing and being able to understand why people are fascinated with Fishing.
What I learned- It is because of the Adventure.
After college I started fishing down south more and learning Sarasota, Englewood, and Lemon Bay.
My favorite adventure growing up was leaving the dock really early; when it was still dark, and jump a Tarpon at the Bridge, Catch snook at sunrise, and pompano fish under the bridge with fiddler crabs to get out of the sun.
Every Trip is different. Some days god will touch the water and other days you will come back to the dock and want to sell all your fishing equipment. The important part is to have the right attitude and always have fun.
If you want to go fishing give me a call and I will try to customize a fishing trip that will fill your needs; If I cannot I will at least point you in the right direction.
