Conditions were far from ideal for our outing. Forecasts called for afternoon thundershowers and Sarasota Bay was largely a no-go zone due to a fish-killing red tide.
There were three of us—myself, my son, Clay, and his girlfriend, Hana, both in their early 20s. All of us were fishing novices, but we were constantly coddled by our attentive captain.
Brian (or maybe Bryan) took us out well beyond the red tide, first eight miles out, then 10 and finally about 12 in his 29-footer equipped with a monstrously big Yamaha outboard motor.
At each stop we caught fish within minutes of dropping our lines in the water, mostly snapper and red grouper. Many were just under the legal size limit and had to be thrown back, but we came home with nine that Hana turned into a succulent supper with white wine sauce.
We got soaked by a rainstorm as we reentered Sarasota Bay, but found it oddly refreshing after the heat of an August day. All in all, it was a wonderful outing, thanks largely to our experienced and caring captain.
