Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report
Like most guides in Florida, most of my clients had to cancel their vacations. However, I did get out a couple of times this week with local "regulars". Bill, Doc, and John fished with me on Monday. WE decided to do something different and fish the bars and mangrove shorelines between Stickney Pt and Blackburn Pt. The bite was steady with the fellas catching most of the fish on #8 Rapala X-Raps. Doc had the hot hand, catching a half dozen snook, some nice speckled trout, and a redfish to complete the "slam". He also caught 3 keeper mangrove snapper, with one really nice 15" fish. Bill lost a big red that ran under a dock. Jacks and ladyfish were also caught. Later in the week I fished the Manatee River. It was after the front and the bite was pretty slow. We caught a few small snook and snapper on plugs.
