Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report
The fish are in and the Redtide is out!
The fish are in and the Redtide is out! The cobia are thick along the beach and the artificial ¡§I¡¨ reefs. Cobias up to thirty pounds have been caught and fifteen to twenty pounds is average size. Live shrimp is doing the job but cobia will eat everything it sees, including top water plugs or diving jigs.
On the bay, the pompano are starting to show in Big Pass and on the flats. It has not been a hard run but some nice size fish. Jigs tipped with pieces of shrimp or whole sand fleas are working. Small snook have been plentiful for the anglers chumming with whitebait. Sheepshead is also on the chew for shrimp or crabs. They can be caught both inshore and offshore and found on any structure.
Offshore around the Cudahole and any of the (M) reefs have all turned on. Everything seemed to come back in a day. Nice snapper and grouper are on the bottom with plenty of Spanish and LTs on top with just a hint of Kingfishļ.
Enjoy & Protect
