Beginner shitty fisherman (if I can even say that) decided to see my local tropical waters at Boca! Love the peaceful atmosphere out of season and opportunity to park and fish without harrassment! Had some great drinks at the local Keylime Bistro and threw the lure about 2 blocks down!! Was not prepared, didn’t have live bait, I know there is a lot I screwed up however… I caught sunshine in the Gulf of Mexico and that brought me peace and happiness!! Also gave me the excuse to pull the 392 out and blast music with the wind in my face in full freedom of Florida!!

Went fishing in the gulf for the first time 3 months ago.. I’m obsessed! Have a couple buddies I go with but I suck! If there is anyone who’s ever free in the Sarasota county who can teach me places and tactics there’s a great chance I’d provide bbq and beer! If you have a boat I’d be paying for the gas! I love the idea of charters but it’s too much to organize with people for the $800 trip.. but when it works out I really love that the most.

So please recommend

Also I’m a 34 yo transplant so if that’s gonna just be a problem rather get that out of the way now 😂
