Wanaflatsfish Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 I would normally post this in the lower sections...but, it was so bad, I had to post here.....Help a brother Was up in Pelican Point area in my buddy's TRS 26 Pathy and we decided to fish the day.... We fished from about 1000 hrs to 4pm and did not get a single strike.....I mean NADA in the entire Sarasota Bay We fished the entire east side of the Northern Bay from the Hyatt Hole to Wittmere Estates....looks like some nice trout areas.... Saw about 2-3 dozen boats in the same areas and no rods were bending....any reports on anything? Just curious...it was a total strike out for us.. My buddy was using Pop'n cork and live shrimp i was using anything I could think of....gulps, trout artificial..Zman shrimp, whatever....nothing Was it us...or just the day.... Beautiful conditions....light to med winds from the East....so, I am wondering what it could be We did run offshore to the artificial reef...again, for about 1 hr, nothing but one lost grunt..... dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstone Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Winds from the east fish bite the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conocean Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Just because you don't see dead fish doesn't mean there's no red tide. I don't see red tide reported on this map up that way.... http://myfwc.com/REDTIDESTATUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davej Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I gave up fishing Sarasota Bay two years ago. Fished Sarasota Bay and the areas around on a weekly basis, but in the last two years the fish population has declined at a steady rate. I either fish north of the Manatee River, or south of the Venice Jetty. A little around Anna Maria for Tarpon, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubble Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Ran into some guys from Tampa and they only fish the upper Tampa Bay areas regularly because they believe that is the best bite north of Charlotte Harbor but he said that fishing isn't fantastic inshore. They have good days from time to time but those are few and far between. I know some guides who are getting some solid catches in Charlotte Harbor. Everything appears to be jigs with plastic.
