Went out in the bay with Capt. Sam.  It was my first trip into the shallow flats and mangroves of the Bay.  From a die hard fresh water fisher, who spent most of their lives fishing some of the best fresh water in the Country I had high expectations.  Capt. Sam did not disappoint in any aspect.  It was a holiday weekend and the waters were filled with boats and recreational vessels of all kinds.  With slack tides, hot temps and high pressure fish he still managed to put me onto a great day of fishing.  Hit the Tampa Bay grandslam with a couple killer reds a few snook and a nice trout to compliment the trio. We finished off the day catching 5 specious in less than an hour.  His knowledge of the water and willingness to not settle on anything less than what was asked makes him a Capt. I would not hesitate to call on to be a go to anytime I want to go out and know I’m going to bend the rods!!  He changed my view on going in shore salt water vs. Sticking to my freshwater roots.  Thanks Capt. Sam!!!
