Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report

Mother Nature challenges anglers who took out charters with me the last few weeks. I did take a week off to go up north on a family visit (squeezed in an Indiana bass fishing trip) but the weather was sketchy before I left and when I came back. I got back home just before Memorial Day to experience several days of wind and rain from Alberto.
However, fishing bounced back though the water was still a bit "dirty", from the wind and rain, especially near the passes. The best spots for me were in the middle of Sarasota Bay, away from the passes. Bishop's Point and Buttonwood on the west side and Stephen's Pt on the east side were the best spots for my clients. Anglers casting jigs and live shrimp caught decent numbers of speckled trout to 20" and ladyfish, with a few Spanish mackerel, bluefish, jacks, and sailcats mixed in.
