Sarasota Big Trout and Snook

Saltwater Inshore Reports
1

Went to Sarasota area to visit clients this week (5/11) and fished with Captain Jack Hartman out of New Pass (Lido key) on Sarasota Bay. Caught a bunch of Snook on the Siesta Key Rocks at Big Pass (Tarpon rolling 50 yards away) and then went Trout fishing, catching 30-40 HUGE Trout in 4 hours. We had several Trout in the 28, 29 & 30" lengths, in the middle of the bay in 15’ of water over grass with floats and live shrimp. Loved it …

Here’s a fun video of my wife, Robbie, out-fishing me (as usual):

Kept 3 and released the rest.

If you’re in the area, Jack knows where the fish are!

Very nice. I used to hear about sand trout when I lived in FL. Is that what kind of trout that is or is his coloration just different because of habitat/diet. etc…

To my knowledge, its a Speckled Trout. Captain Jack asked if our Trout were colored this way in SC. The water is so clear there, I think they really get a different coloration. Very pretty.
