I suggest Manatee Florida..... fishing off Longboat pass, then taking your catch to Marivista to have them cook it for you..... or swing by Swardfish in Cortez..... or if needed, we go in the mangroves on kayaks.

Scott I have a confession if I am eating seafood it is grouper, I don't care for redfish.

Got me thinking this morning about the two styles of fishing in the two trips. When I think of a fishing trip that will leave me relaxed on the flight home it has to be fishing the gulf, I can get after it for a day with my charter guy and then take my kayak thru the mangroves to pink panty reef in terra ceia and look at the bridge in the distance, biggest decision to make there is minnows or shrimp.

Mass will have striped bass that time of year. They are kinds of fun to catch and eat.

There are some giant Albies moving in around the Vineyard right now and the Big Bass will be along soon. Im just waiting for everyone to leave so I can get out there. But on the other side of the coin Scott has a great plan. LBK pass is where I spent all my time as a kid. Loved camping out on Jewfish and fishing all night. Of course Jr Guthries house was the only one there at the time but we did have to watch out for wild pigs coming into camp. Miss those days. Any one know if Jr is still around?

Do they still have the seafood festival in Terra Ceia? I used to helpout a friend there and after filleting 200lbs of grouper one year I had to think real hard if she was really a friend. 😂
