A Complete Bait & Tackle Shop

This young man certainly was having quite a day out in Sarasota Bay with Capt. Kelly Kurtz.

This young man was having quite a day on the water.

The last 2 weeks the snook bite has been very good as well as mangrove snapper, jacks, and a couple bluefish have let themselves be found.

Fishing the passes with live bait on the right tides anglers have caught and released over a dozen snook. Tuesday I ran an evening trip and when the bite turned on we released over 20 snook in about an hour and a half.

That’s pretty productive fishing I’d say, in so short a time. The water is clean and beautiful and several days dolphins and manatees were everywhere.

Capt. Capt. Kelly Kurtz

Kelly is a Sarasota native and the owner and operator of Mangrove Charters. He's pas­sion­ate about fishing and hunting. As a full-time fishing guide Kelly operates out of a 22 ft. Bayscout and specializes in light tackle using both arti­fi­cial and live bait. Redfish are his favorite.
