Matt Fueyo with Reel Tight Fishing Charters
Sarasota, Florida
Reported: 7 months ago

We've been back and forth between snook/redfish and snapper/sheepshead fishing. The cold front shut down the white bait, but the shrimp eaters remain hungry! If you're ready to jump on board and have some fun with us today!

The fishing has started to heat up down here like the temperature. There has been some really good redfish action lately although most have been on the smaller size. Shrimp tipped jig heads thrown up around the mangroves and oyster bars has been the go to method for them. The spotted sea trout bite had been great as of late. Shrimp under popping corks seems to be the bait of choice. Anglers have been picking up plenty of ladyfish and snapper as by catches. If you want to bend rods and make memories it has been a great time to do so.

    Had an awesome day on the water with Marc. Despite cold and windy weather, Marc worked hard to make sure we caught fish. My niece said it was her “best fishing trip ever!” Will definitely ask Marc to take us out again in the future.

    Trip: Iguana Hunting Veteran Guides

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Ray was knowledgable about area and fishing spots. He was a great guy and a well trained captain. However, we paid for 5 people on a charter and only 2 - 3 poles were ever in the water. This was due to high chop but still somewhat disappointing. I would try captain Ray again.
