About Playin' Hookey Fishing Charters

  |  Venice, FL, US | Views (8484)

Welcome to Playin’ Hookey Fishing Charters.   My name is Captain Peter Koenig.  I have been fishing the Venice and Sarasota waters for 16 years.  My love for fishing started the first time I held a fishing pole.  Now I enjoy sharing my passion with others.  I provide fishing charters for Venice, Englewood, and Sarasota, Florida from Sarasota Bay to Charlotte Harbor and the near-shore reefs in the Gulf of Mexico.  If you are looking for a great time fishing, join me on my 20 ft Sea Hunt open fisherman.  Come along for some light tackle fishing for the whole family.  Whether fishing inshore or offshore, there are always plenty of options to catch fish.  Southwest Florida offers many different species all year.  Spring and fall bring many more migrant fish to our area.  You never know what might be biting.  Look through the fishing photos and see for yourself what you could catch.  You will find I have some of the best rates.  So, take a day off and let’s go fishing!

After stopping by the North Jetty on Tuesday and finding it empty of people and full of bait and hungry Snook I decided I would stop by Wednesday armed with a cast net and pole.  There was about 15 fisherman with the same idea.  But the bait and the...

This week has been very active for anyone who has gone out into the gulf.  Schools of glass minnows followed by large schools of Spanish Mackerel and Bonito.  At times the water boils with the feeding frenzies.  Ladyfish and Jacks have been taking a...

The fishing is still hot.  The Spanish Mackerel are still very thick in the 20 to 30 foot deep areas off the beaches and around the reefs.  Your best bet is early morning; watch for the birds feeding and the mackerels jumping.  There are still J...
