Last week despite the red tide bloom there was still a section of North Sarasota Bay that had very clean water. Fishing with live bait and gulp shrimp produced on some days over 2 dozen trout up to 20 inches as well as Ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel, and Pompano.
On the water with Capt. Kelly Kurtz.
By Wednesday the Bay had cleared considerably.
Wednesday the winds cranked up from the north and the water really cleaned up to a large extentby Thursday. We released all the fish we caught for the sake of stock for the future.
