The fishing has been great in Sarasota Bay, and the near shore Gulf. Over the last several weeks the spotted sea Trout have been on fire in Big Sarasota Bay. It has truly been the best trout fishing I’ve ever seen.

Despite west wind and rough sea conditions Tyler from Pittsburg caught a fish of about 100 pounds on a small blue crab. He was able to land that fish in an impressive 15 minutes even though it was his first ever.
