This week on Extreme Angler TV- Sarasota Saltwater Supreme

Posted On January 03, 2013

Talk about excitement and action!


On this special edition of Extreme Angler TV, its mid january and I get a real good taste of saltwater, fishing with my good buddy Bruce MacDonald of Olive the Lake fame who spends his winters in sunny Sarasota Florida, on board Outriggers Charter Fishing with capt. Ryan Rolland.

I have been fortunate to fish for a wide variety of hard fighting fresh water fish including Great Lakes rainbow trout and salmon, and caught my fair share of line screaming smallmouth bass on light action tackle, but I can honestly say, nothing compares to the absolute brute strength of the incredible Amber Jacks from the Gulf of Mexico, out of Sarasota harbour.


I was very impressed with the professional attitude and dedication of capt Ryan and his crew who took care of every little nook and cranny while aboard his boat. Everything from catching the bait we used for the AJ`s, to rigging the rods, offering advice on the best way to fish for these brutes & feeling the bite in the deep water. Like any kind of new presentation or technique, it took a few break offs and lost fish before I settled in and looked forward to the next drop and fish on!


After spending the day on board Ryan`s boat and witnessing his "customer first" manner, I came to truly understand why he is so popular with both return and new customers alike. He didn`t waste any time putting us right on the bigger fish and offered the hands-on service that makes his business stand out from a lot of the others. http://www.sarasotacharterfishing.com

Another perk to this trip was partnering with one of the finest accomodations we have had on our show with the Hyatt Regency Sarasota. These great folks put us in ocean view rooms with 5 star menu & pool service to boot! Talk about an awesome winter get-a-way!


And to top off a fantastic day on the water, the Hyatt Regency Sarasota even arranged for the head chef to prepare a special dock side meal, with a hot grill, white wine and 5 star service with native florida vegetables and the fresh fish we had just caught hours earlier, incredible!


Will I go back to Sarasota in the near future? You bet your Amber Jacks I will, in a heartbeat!
If your looking for a special winter get-a-way that includes some incredible saltwater fishing instead of the same old golf trips with friends or business associates, this location is for you.
Enjoy the show.
