Tampa Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
Sarasota's skinny waters are holding large schools of redfish!
Capt. Jermey Heimes of Day Away Charters and myself
located several large schools of redfish on the flats south
of Cortez.
We fished 1-3 ft. of water on the incoming tide. Water
visibility was a 8 on a scale of 1-10. Redfish ranged from
the top of the slot to 30+ inches. Cut threadfin on a 1/8 oz.
jig head or #2 EUPRO circle hook got the job done!
For best results stick your Power Pole and let the
redfish come to you. Keep a low profile and make long
casts. A degree of stealth can be essential when stalking
redfish in skinny-clear water.
Before heading in we managed to land a few nice snook
just east of Joe's Island. Like the redfish in Sarasota they
shied away from live bait. However , the snook were unable
to resist the lure of that tasty threadfin soaking on the bottom!
Remember our snook population took a hard hit this year
and the season will remain closed till Sept. 1st. So, handle
those linesiders with a little T.L.C. when catching and releasing
them.
Till next time have a safe and quality day on the water.
