Cooler water has really helped the bite as fish cooperate around Sarasota Bay. Anglers are catching a variety of species with snook, black drum, redfish, speckled trout, ladyfish, jack crevalle and mangrove snapper on the hook.
Matt Salk of Kansas City got his first snook, so did his girlfriend Morgan Cox. As to whose snook was largest I’d have no comment in print, but between you and me… it was Morgan’s. The bait used for the fish caught was live shrimp, CAL jigs and bucktailed jigs. Remember, the best time to go fishing is when you can… be sure to save some for seed!
