Enjoying Christmas week fishing in Sarasota Bay.
Fishing this week in the Bay has been a little slow and challenging especially with the varying weather systems from high pressure to early morning fog and water temps ranging from 52-72 degrees. The lower water temps pushed a lot of fish to seek deeper waters offshore.
Although as the water temps began to rise the fish began to slowly migrate back into the bay and the fishing became a little more productive. During the week we caught a few ladyfish, small speckled sea trout, bluefish, sheepshead and mangrove snapper.
Working the deeper areas of the bay and the flats on incoming tides were best using live shrimp and using weedless artificial baits very slowly through the grass on the bottom over the grass flats.
When you need a good dose of Vitamin Sea… “Let’s go Fishing”
Terry was born and raised in Bradenton, FL and has been guiding clients since 2000, fishing on Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico with live bait, artificial lures and fly fishing aboard his 22’ Bay Ranger which accommodates up to 4 anglers.
