Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report
Deepwater best
This past week brought us some beautiful weather. The Gulf was like glass and the temperature was in the seventies. We had only a morning fog to slow us down. The further offshore you went, the better the fishing would get. You could catch a large variety of fish all day long at the Cuda Hole, but the bigger snapper and grouper would bite early in the morning and late afternoon. As fishermen went further offshore, they found the larger snapper and grouper on the bite throughout the day. From the (M) reefs in 40' to the (D) reefs in over 100' of water, good catches were reported from around and on the reefs. A good bottom recorder will help because most of the fish are on natural bottom around some of the artificial reefs. We also found sheepshead, porgy, Key West grunts and little tunny.
That’s all history and we have a new week ahead of us. Maybe the bay and inshore reef fishing will pickup. I hope so! We don't always have such calm seas that let us get offshore. I would expect the sheepshead, trout and drum fishing to improve but Mother Nature writes the script, not me.
Enjoy and Protect
