Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report

Anglers had decent action this week, with the best bites being in Big Sarasota Pass for ladyfish and a few mackerel and the deep grass for speckled trout, bluefish, silver trout, big whiting, and ladyfish. Bass Assassin Sea Shad baits in chartreuse and Gulp Shrimp were both productive. Middlegrounds and Marina Jack were the top spots. We also did some shallow water fishing early on Friday, with my anglers catching a nice 20" trout and a decent snook on a white Rapala X-Rap. Bait showed up in huge numbers in the bay this week, that often kicks off some great summer fishing!
