Wisconsinite Bob Gaglard’s first visit to Sarasota proved to be just what he expected.
This week, fishing aboard the “Gone Coastal” out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key we had Tina and Bob Gaglard’s enjoying their first visit to Sarasota. They had reserved their charter many months ago and being from Wisconsin they had a little bit of fishing experience.
Once arriving they had low expectations, for fishing because of red tide reports and the recent hurricane, Michael. I assured them the fishing had been pretty good and improving daily. We used live bait working the mangroves and docks, once finding clean water. While Bob caught several large jacks and small snook as well.
As far as the fishing went Bob’s wife Tina won the day with some great catches.
Tina won the day catching several large snook to 25 inches, and some small jacks and mangrove snapper. The Gaglard’s commented, “they had a great day of fishing.”
Book a trip with one of the many local Charter Guides out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key for a great day on the water, or come visit and talk to one of their friendly staff at their amazing stores, CB’s Saltwater Outfitters & Fin.
CB’s carries some of the best lines of fishing gear, equipment and accessories around.
Forecast:
On the incoming tide look for diving birds on baits and work mangrove points, deepwater docks and oyster bars. On the outgoing tide work outflows and deeper channels and edges.
Small tarpon, jacks, snook, redfish, ladyfish, bluefish and mangrove snapper are sometimes concentrated in small areas. For the protection of our future fishery, there’s currently a short moratorium on keeping redfish and snook.
This is a great time to go fishing for the fun of just spending time away from it all.
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.
