Sarasota
is home to some of the best fishing in the
United States
. Local barrier islands create a habitat for many species of game fish. Anglers may enjoy the pursuit of local and migratory species among grass flats, oyster bars, mangrove islands, artificial reefs and offshore springs.
The Sarasota Slam (Snook, Redfish, and Spotted Sea Trout) is the local inshore prize sought after by both aspiring and seasoned anglers. Nearby Gulf Reefs and springs team with Grouper, Snapper, and Amber Jack. Spring and Fall seasons produce migrations of King Fish and Spanish Mackerel, while warmer Summer months welcome spawning Tarpon.
For thrilling big game or inshore fishing,
Sarasota
is a world class destination.

The anglers aboard Casual Lies have been catching Trout, Bluefish, Mackerel, and a few Flounder. With the weather being cold the water temperature has dropped down into the 50's. We have been catching our fish on Pearl colored CAL jigs and live shrimp under a float.The weather for the rest of February should be getting warmer and the fishing getting better every day. 020709
Offshore Fishing Report -
Capt. Jack Ryan Sea Dog Charters 941-705-0744
You have heard a LOT lately about the word "CHANGE" from the Democrats and Republicans.
Well, read about this "CHANGE"! It is a FUN CHANGE. As our water temps. start to become cooler, bait begins to leave the bays and head to the coastal offshore before they make a slow trek down to the south for the winter months.
This natural occurrence means "Dinner Time" to the bigger fish. Red & Gag Grouper move in closer as do King & Spanish Mackerel and Cobia. Keep an eye out for bait schools, then use artificial or live bait to score with the Mackerel. Red and Gag Grouper are bottom feeders, so we use live and cut bait on the ledges and wrecks to put these good eaters on the dinner table.
This month means: find the bait schools, find the bigger fish.
