Tough bite in Sarasota, water is cold!

{%image_id=69256%}Fishing was tough this week as we are experiencing a "real" winter. Water temperature was in the upper 50's in the morning. Anglers fishing the pass caught a few sheepshead and snapper on shrimp, but the sheepshead run is just getting started. Whiting in deeper holes provided a few meals. The best bite continued to be jack crevalle with a few small snook in area creeks on flies and Rapala X-Raps. I ran a Myakka River trip on Friday that only produced a small bass.
