I fished two days this week on Sarasota Bay with John, who’s a regular customer of mine, and his friend Bob, both from Pennsylvania. Numerous trout were caught using DOA shrimp under a cork and or live shrimp under a cork. Using quarter ounce jig head and gulp also produced a number of fish.
Pictured is Bob holding a trophy snook that he successfully landed and released using the DOA shrimp. He had quite a battle as the wiley fish kept trying to escape the hook by going under the boat and around the motor.
To be honest I felt lucky that we were able to land it. John also landed a trophy size snook throwing a Topwater lure over shallow potholes on the flats. Weather and water are beautiful at this time of year and a pleasure to be out fishing.
