Finally Caught a Proper Red Fish

Launched on the west side of Sarasota Bay to perfect conditions about 45 minutes before dawn. There were mullet and bait everywhere, but nothing was biting. I spooked what I assumed was a good size snook off the sandbar I was wading, but that was about it. Finally after an hour of wading and casting...

The number one rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. Since you seem to have that part taken care of the rest will follow. Find ing thr right lure is part science, part are and mostly personal preference. Try any of the quality lures you see discussed in the forum and over time you will deve...

Re: Permit or Pompano

I am going to stay with permit. Based on the slope of the head, the angle of the fins and the size. Also like to think I caught my first permit.

Re: Sarasota, Long Boat Key Guides ?

Absolutely agree with Rik. Steve Gibson is the best kayak guide for the area you are interested in.

Re: Another windy Saturday

I was at BW Sunday too. Was a little later than usual due to traffic jam from the race. Tons of jacks, trout and snook. Did not see any reds. Can't believe I didn't run into you out there.

Re: Another windy Saturday

Be happy with the Reds you caught. I haven't seen or caught one in month now. The water is warm enough. They should be showing up soon.

While the family were sunning I took a few casts. Made a long blind cast and bang. My reel started to scream and line was disappea...
