Speckled trout action remains excellent in Sarasota! - Fishing was good once again this week, particularly towards the end as tides improved. Also, while the baitfish is small, it is abundant and just large enough not to get gilled in the net. Chumming with live or fresh dead threadfins and pilchards more...

Sarasota Fishing was excellent over the July 4th Holiday! - The strategy this week has been to get out there EARLY, find grass in 6'-8' with clean water and toss jigs and live bait. Rising water temperatures seem to have the fish a tad deeper this week. The water near the passes is still a bit murky, but is more...
