Re: Sarasota spearfishing buddy trips

Planning to go out on a charter with sea kat out of anna maria island this weekend. Either sat or sun not sure yet if any one is interested. It will be a scuba trip. Believe price is still 85 with tanks.

Re: Sarasota spearfishing buddy trips

Sarasota report for Thursday, September 20th.

Out in federal waters from Big Pass. Ride out was fast and smooth, almost glass flat. (bit more choppy ~ 1 ft seas in the evening)
Visibility 20ft on top, 10 ft 40 ft down around structure.
3 gag grouper, 2 huge cobias, permit, amber jack. (snapper were all small and we let them swim by any suggestions on snapper/hog spots?)
Boat trip this Sunday is already set up.

Cheers, Danyar

Re: Sarasota spearfishing buddy trips

Danyar, usually the hogs are bigger and closer this time of year. Usually 1 to 3-4-5 miles out on natural reef area. If you find a nice area with hogs, take your stringer with hogs on it and lay it down in the open. Hogs will come to them and hang out. You hardly have to move. Seems like late afternoon, evening is best for that. Mangrove snapper get big around the tanks, but dont shoot into a tank, there is rubber belts and hoses and it has taken many spears. Under is best. Gags too.

Cheers, Danyar
He's being quite modest. One of the cobia was at least 60 lbs! Harrison's AJ was a really nice size as well. Will be eating fish for a few weeks haha! Trying my damnedest to upload pics from my phone but it doesn't want to let me...

I saw all the carcasses at phillipi. Cant believe the size of that Cobia. Very impressive shooting.

He also pulls up to boats already on a spot and drives 50 ft circles around them.
