March 22 Fishing Report
Anglers aboard Sarasota Fishing Charters caught Redfish, Pompano, Sea Trout, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel , Flounder , Grouper, and Huge Ladyfish. Most Fish were caught on the Gold Paddletail CAL jig followed by Shrimp fished under a Bayside Thunder float. These fish are so concentrated that if we fished an area for a few minutes without great success ,It was time to relocate. Almost all of the fish were found in the scattered grass areas of the bay in 4 to 7 ‘ depths. Dr Jon Donaldson and son Luke from Charleston SC fished on a windy and blustery day where I thought about cancelling due to the winds, but knew of a few places to hide that could be very productive. They caught 13 Redfish and a bunch of nice Sea Trout that were obviously feeding in before the Cold Front hit on Saturday.
Saturday and Sunday were out as winds were up and temps were down. On Monday, Bryce , Peter and Bill Methven From the Twin Cities Area had a great day with Pompano to 5 lbs, Sea Trout to 21” , Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish. Next Glenn Silvers and son Mark and Grandson Seth From Sarasota and Colorado had a nice day with numerous Sea Trout, 4 Redfish and some Spanish Mackerel. Fishing with the Silvers family is always fun and lively.
Wednesday Terry Ellenberger , son Jaryd and friends Darrel Goebel and Cody Aherns form Wisconsin had a fabulous day with Pompano to 5lbs, Spanish Mackerel to 4 lbs , 3 Redfish, and so many Sea Trout we lost count. Thursday morning Dave Martin and friend Wayne from Toronto tried fly fishing on a somewhat windy day. They were able to catch a few Mackerel ,Sea Trout and Ladyfish in conditions that just were not good for throwing flies. That afternoon the winds stopped and Brian Martin and wife Elaine from Ontario joined me for a super time catching huge Sea trout to 22’ , Spanish Mackerel to 4 lbs and various other fish. Honestly, they probably caught well over 60 Trout that afternoon .
Friday , Jeff , Nancy and Meredith from Wisconsin caught huge Mackerel and Sea trout on a day that the wind again prevented a very good day from becoming a great day. Saturday dawned with calm winds and warm temperatures. Jim and Nanci Goodwin from Indiana caught 6 Redfish , some big Sheepshead, Black Druin and a 23 ½ “ black Grouper fishing near old docks and then caught Pompano to 3lbs , Sea trout to 24” Mackerel to 6 lbs and flounder to 16” on the grass flats to end the best trip of the time period .
Monday, Curtis and Cassie from Madison, Wisconsin had a great time catching large Mackerel and Sea Trout . Tuesday, The Fuqua family from St. Louis caught numerous Mackerel to 6 lbs and a few Sea Trout on a beautiful day
Next Week’s tides are prime for fishing
