One for the books today! I took Matt out for an inshore fishing adventure in Englewood, FL this summer. We launched from Stump Pass Marina on a partly cloudy day with the possibility of storms looming. The water conditions around Grove City were prime for some excellent fishing. As we set out, I was confident we'd find some great action with Capt Dave Spargurs Charters. Once the stage was set, we got down to business. I employed a mix of drift fishing, bottom fishing, and sight casting techniques to target the local species. These methods are perfect for the inshore waters around Englewood, allowing us to cover different depths and structures. Our persistence paid off when Matt hooked into a monster Snook. After an intense fight, we landed a beautiful 39-inch specimen - a true trophy catch that made the whole trip worthwhile. It's moments like these that remind me why I love guiding in these waters. We wrapped up our outing with smiles all around, having experienced some of the best inshore fishing Englewood has to offer. The combination of techniques we used proved effective, and landing that impressive Snook was definitely the highlight of our day on the water.
