Saltwater Fishing Report for Sarasota, Florida.

Capt. Bob Smith
April 27, 2001
Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report

The big bite is on!

As the front approached on Wednesday, the fishing peaked out and Gulf and Bay fishing was at its best. It was not hard to limit out on seatrout using live shrimp along Country Club Shores. Spanish mackerel, ladyfish, jacks and plenty of smaller trout kept the action non stop all day long.

Offshore the king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, barracuda, little tunny and jacks gave plenty of action on the artificial reef (M-1). There was plenty of live baitfish on the reefs and live shrimp also worked if you wanted more Spanish mackerel.

Thursday brought strong N to NE winds, but we got out to the (I) reefs just off the beach. We had plenty of small fish action and also found some nice flounder and Spanish mackerel for the box.

The trout were on the bite on the flats just outside of Selby Gardens plus it was out of the wind. Drifting live shrimp on a popping cork worked.

This week we will be looking for Kings, Spanish and snapper offshore, cobia along the beaches and trout and mackerel on the bay.

Enjoy and Protect
