Fishing Sarasota Bay with Capt. Kelly Stilwell.
Wow the fishing has really kicked of over the last week. Maybe one of the few good things left from hurricane Ian has been cooler water temperatures.
The spotted seatrout have been biting about as good as I can remember. Most of them are in the 12 to 14 inch range, and keepers are pretty easy to come by as well. Spanish mackerel are showing up and I would expect the kings to be here soon also. There have also been some huge ladyfish, an occasional pompano, and bluefish on the grass flats and in the passes.
Kelly has lived and fished in this area for over 30 years. His specialties are artificial bait, fly fishing, tarpon, and live bait fishing in Sarasota Bay and the nearshore Gulf. He's an Orvis Endorsed Guide and currently runs a 2400 Ranger Bay boat which accommodates five.
