Sarasota, Florida
Reported: 3 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.

Spring is springing. We have red tide on our beaches but the back water bite remains hot.

Reported: 3 months ago

Bite has been solid the past week inshore for redfish, snook and trout and nearshore has been good up to 9 miles offshore for grouper grunts snapper and sheepshead last week when the wind has allowed us to get out there. Everything on shrimp because everything loves shrimp.

Excellent guide! We had a wonderful day with Bobby. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip wasting no time to change spots when the bite stopped. There were 4 of us and we had plenty space on his boat. We landed many snooks, mangrove snappers, trout, and more. We highly recommend Bobby and look forward to fishing with him in the future!

Trip: Placida Inshore Experience
★★★★★
Capt. Jacob put us on tarpon early and often. One hook-up and quickly gone after one nice leap from the water. We had our chances early with plenty of fish around. Jacob kept up the hunt and our lack of fly casting wasn't a problem for the Captain. After we got more comfortable, we were able to land this nice tarpon on a fly. Something I have dreamed about for a while. Thank you Captain Experiences.
