Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report
Passing Weather Fronts
With the wind and passing fronts this week, I am left with little to say about fishing. I found trout over most of the bay on Thursday, but the larger, keeper size trout were closer to the shore line.
Places like Otter Key were holding some nice trout along the edge of the channel. Zwicks canal was also holding some nice fish. Any small patch of grass close to a drop-off can hold larger fish this time of year. Fish the edge of the drop-off and only expect a keeper or two, then move on to another spot. The pattern was a couple of good fish then all small fish but that can change anytime and often does.
We found bluefish in Big Pass. It was not a good run but small schools here and there averaged not much more than a pound each per fish. When we did find them, everyone hooked-up and we had some fun on the light tackle. Some people do like to eat them. This time of year you can always find the sheepshead around pylons, rocks in the passes and most of the docks and bridges. Along with the sheepshead, you can catch snapper, flounder, redfish and black seabass.
Enjoy & Protect
