Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report

As with most Florida fishing guides, I was booked solid but had cancellations due to the health emergency. I still got out three times this week. Early on, I had a fly/spin trip. There was no wind and we headed out in the Gulf just off the Siesta Key beaches. Rapala X-Raps produced Spanish mackerel for the spin angler while the fly anglers scored using Clouser patterns. After a bit we went back inside and caught ladyfish and trout on Gulp baits, the bite was slow for the fly guys. Another inshore trip produced speckled and silver trout, ladyfish, and other species on jigs. Bottom fishing produced a ton of action on snapper, grouper, sea bass, and sheepshead. It looks like the run of sheepshead is winding down. I ran a trip to the Myakka River as well. It was a bit slow as the water temperature was in the upper 70's. However, we landed a nice snook on a white #10 Rapala.
