In the bay we’re catching mangrove snapper and grouper. We’ve been using a #2 circle hook with 14 pound leader for the snapper and 30 pound leader for the grouper. Cut bait on the hook and free line back with the chum. On the flats, we’re using live and dead thread ins and greenbacks to catch bull redfish and snook. Mostly smaller snook in the flats. Dead Bait is working just as good as live bait. Bite has been good on the snook as well.

Hey David,
We are deep into summer here and the water is hot. Our customers have been enjoying catching Snook, Mangrove Snapper and Jacks in our passes and along our beaches. We have also been getting lucky with the Trout in the bay along our grass flats. The key has been finding the cooler water and schools of bait fish.

Fishing has been a little tough due to high water temps but still able to catch quality fish off the beaches in high current situations. Most the big snook and reds have been schooled up off the beaches chasing schools of whitebait and mullet. Havnt been catching high quantities of fish but definitely quality if you're willing to put the time in and grind it out. The high water temps make the fish lethargic, and they aren't willing to exert a lot of energy to chase a bait down, practically have to hit them in the head with it and...

Summer fishing has been in full swing here in Sarasota, Florida. been busy as ever! Our customers continue to enjoy targeting Snook, Trout and Redfish in our passes and along our beaches. A highlight lately has been our Mangrove Snapper fishing, they have really started to steal the show with their wonderful table fare. Our Summer Tarpon migration is still going strong with large numbers of Tarpon congregating during the outgoing tides in the passes along Siesta Key, Lido Key and Longboat Key!

    Going out with Captain Brad was a great time. He is a no nonsense guide who went above and beyond to get us on the fish. Even in not so great weather, he made sure we all had a great time.

    I brought my son down for a weekend of cast and bkast. We soent all day Sunday with Captain Vasiliy aka The Russian Redneck. He runs a very nice wellcraft center consolw. Boat is in great shape with lots if room. We met at the boat launch around 0745 and after quick introductions we shoved off. A quixk stop at a marina baitshop on our way and the day began. We hit an area on tge way out fir maybe 30 min to catch some live baitfish and puahed offshore around 8-9 miles. Over our 8 hour charter we moved to several locations. If a spot got slow, pulled anchor and off to another. I didnt count total fish caught, but several dozen grunts, at least 15 grouper, a hog fish, some others im nor familiar with. We lost a couple big fish. Guessing they were goliaths. I will absolutely go fish with him again. If youre looking fir a friendlt captain who keeps you on the fish this is the one.

    We had a great time out on the water with Captain Jerry! He made sure we had ice, water, and plenty of bait. The weather kept us inland a little bit but he was flexible and moved to where the fish were. Our boys were very excited to catch two sharks, two pufferfish, a catfish, and several other types of fish, some of which we were able to keep for dinner. Thanks Captain Jerry!
