Fresh Sarasota Fishing Reports

I had a great day with my favorite fishing couple last week, we hit the reef for some solid sheepshead action. we caught a bunch from 17 inches to one 21 inch old lady. we kept a couple for dinner and released the rest to finish laying eggs and start the next generation. we also found a bunch of big grunts, gag grouper, red grouper and some snappers that kept the action going all morning. Its a good time to fish south Florida! contact your favorite captain and charter a trip.

The red fish and black drum were chewing first thing in the morning and the sn9ok bite turnon on in the afternoon

Water temps are rising and the fish are hungry! Sheepshead season has been very productive! Snook and redfish are chewing again too!! Its shrimp/white bait season and our catches have had all species!

With the late season cold fronts still rolling in the fish dont know what to think. This week the water temperature is finally starting to warm up and so is the bite!!! Book now.

Here’s a quick “What’s Biting” report for Sarasota Bay this March: Snook – Biting well, especially around docks and mangroves on warmer days. Night fishing around lighted docks has been productive too. Redfish – Active on shallow grass flats and mangrove shorelines. Best action during high tides, with some holding in potholes during low tides. Trout – Plenty of action on deep grass flats, with bigger trout showing up in the shallows early in the morning. Mackerel & More – Spanish and king mackerel are heating up in the coastal gulf, along with cobia and tripletail near buoys and floating structures. Fishing is solid right now, and things will only get better as the water warms up. Book a trip and let’s get on the fish!

As Winter ends and Spring begins we are pumped to be switching gears from bottom fishing to sight fishing. We are targeting snook and redfish concentrated in mangroves and rocky areas in our back water and along the passes. We are still bottom fishing on our 6-8 hour trips but our 4 hour trips are in the bay catching a ton of everytbing! Big jacks are crushing baits and hungry trout are going bonkers for the white baits. Let’s go bend some rods and have some fun!
