Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report

Fishing was steady once again this week, though anglers did have to battle some breezy conditions. The sheepshead bite was very good, with most of the fishing being in the 2 pound range. Rocks, docks, and other structure, particularly in the passes, held plenty of fish. Live shrimp was the best bait. Ladyfish hit Bass Assassin jigs in Robert's Bay on the incoming tide. Anglers casting flies hooked them as well as a snook up in a residential canal. One young angler sight cast to a couple of tripletail in the bay and caught one on a live shrimp.
