Saltwater Fishing Report for Sarasota, Florida.

We can expect the fishing to improve as we move into March! For the past week we have been able to keep the rods bent but most all of it has been ladyfish. Large schools of ladyfish have been held-up in the channel just south of Siesta Key Bridge. Using lave shrimp and pompano jigs for bait we have produced a few pompano in the mix. Pompano are on the bay but moving around and it is hard to get a fix on them, one here and one there. It has been the same with the redfish around the docks and cobia along the beach. Anchoring or drifting along the ICW is keeping us busy with the ladyfish. Watching the porpoises feed on them next to the boat is also a blast. Sheepshead fishing has been getting better around the docks and reef structures and a probable food source if needed. We can expect the fishing to improve as we move into March. Enjoy & Protect
