When you need a good dose of Vitamin Sea “Let's go Fishing”

When you need a good dose of vitamin sea… see us!

This week, fishing aboard “Coastal Fishing Adventures” with Captain Terry Simmons, out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key.

Fishing in the Bay, in September, has been a little challenging especially with high humidity and water temps still in the high 80’s. On days like this we keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

On Wednesday I chartered the Koty & Raven Sparks group for an inshore charter. We started the morning working with a low tide around several of the flats on the outside drop offs.

With the abundance of whitebait in the bay I wanted to try artificial baits to see if the fish were looking for something different. Kinda like, if you’ve been eating fish all week and now you might want a steak. We threw various colored DOA shrimp under a popping cork, DOA shad tails on jig heads, spoons and mirrolure top water baits.

The redfish were hungry and wanted to play.

We caught several jack cravell, ladyfish, trout, catfish, bluefish and then we caught several very nice slot and over slot redfish from 26 to 29 inches. The redfish were hungry and wanted to play. My clients couldn’t have been happier sometimes with three on at a time and they were on their bucket list. Great memories.

Terry was born and raised in Bradenton, FL and has been guiding clients since 2000, fishing on Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico with live bait, artificial lures and fly fishing aboard his 22’ Bay Ranger which accommodates up to 4 anglers.
