Sarasota Florida Fishing Report
By Capt. Bob Smith
It has been a wile since I put out a fishing report but August was good for
bay fishing and I was busy. September is traditionally the slowest month
for charters but you never know about the fishing. September is when the
Fall-run can start for most species and the fishing can get hot for both
inshore and or offshore, but no guarantees. Mother Nature rules!
On the bay grass-flats, I fish mostly with DOA artificial, 3", #313,
clear-gold glitter shrimp. Live bait is working well but it is hard to keep
the pinfish and other small baitfish or junk fish off your line. We have
been catching Sea trout up to 24" and almost as many keeper size trout as
under size. In the mix of fish, we have been catching bluefish, flounder,
pompano, black sea bass, snapper, Spanish mackerel, jacks, ladyfish, and
some nice but short grouper. The bluefish have been good sized for Florida,
up to four pounds of fun.
This time of year it pays to know where the good spots are and have the
patience to stick it out until the fish turn on. During the summer months, I
find that when one spot gets hot many others will at the same time. With
all the run off, flood tides and unstable weather conditions, we never know
when that will be. Having a VHF radio on board will bring this to bear. In
fact, a VHF radio is a very useful fishing tool and can make your day.
Enjoy & Protect
