Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report

Fishing was pretty good this week for a variety of species in several locations using different techniques. Speckled trout average size was better this week, with quite a few "slot" fish being caught, and released, by anglers casting jigs and flies. I still think it is important to release these fish after the 2019 red tide. Some nice sized bluefish were caught by both spin and fly anglers as well. Big Pass had good numbers of ladyfish as well as a few bluefish. Jigs worked well. Jack crevalle and small snook also hit Rapala X-Raps, jigs, and flies in the Intracoastal waterway as well as creeks and canals.
