April 4 Fishing Report
It just doesn’t get any better than fishing in Sarasota in Late March and April. Redfish can be found on low stages of the tides waiting for rising water to get them on the flats and all of my favorite docks are holding reds. A few Snook are starting to show on the flats and mangroves. Flats from 3-6 are full of Huge Spanish Mackerel, big Sea Trout, scattered Pompano and Bluefish. The Passes are still holding Sheepshead , Mangrove snapper have begun to move in , Spanish Mackerel are thick, and pompano can be jigged up in the early stages of the tide. Best of all white bait is here in greatly increasing numbers.
Recent trips
Joe Wasserman and family from Michigan had a very fun trip with numerous Sea trout and Spanish Mackerel .Kevin and his 2 sons Will and Chase Caught some huge Trout to 25 “ . John Slekins and sons Brock , Mason and Peyton from Indiana caught Redfish to 14 LBs , beautiful Pompano and nice Sea Trout.

Ken Stieger and wife Betty from Ohio caught a few small reds, huge Spanish mackerel and nice Sea Trout. Pat Evans and son Daniel had a great morning until the wind got so bad we had to cut the trip short. They had were lucky enough to get a serious Sea Trout before the front bite that resulted in no stop action for about 3 hours. I have no idea how many they caught, but it was enough for a great fish dinner. After a couple of days canceled due to high winds. Pat and Daniel joined me again in windy but very fishable conditions. They Caught 4 or 5 Redfish, flounder and a few Sea trout. Jim and Barbara Cook caught a about 60 Sea Trout including the biggest of the year at 30”, a few Spanish Mackerel and 1 flounder that measured 17”.
