This time of year Buttonwood is slow for Reds, They move out onto the flats on the other side of Sarasota Bay ( Long Bar ). Low tide is the best fishing in that area. Once you find the schools anything you put in them they will eat like crazy. I fish topwater Skitterwalks in Dark colors this time of...

I fish this area all the time. If your looking to fish the river I would try the mouth of the river on the south side just after the marina and before Robinson Preserve. This area has put some fish in the boat the last two weeks. It is a good area with a south wind. Another area to try is south Palm...

Start your day off from Norfleet Fish Camp. Paddle out to the open water and head south to Filman Bayou. Its about an Hour Paddle to the first opening to the bayou. The opening to the north end of the bayou is after the 3rd point you pass. It looks like a little river going into the bayou. Fish both...

The bite was back on today. Trout bite was slow in the morning but was able to get 2 nice 18". Hooked into a school of reds on the back side of Joe's. Was able to pull out 5 reds in about 20 min. 23 1/2 " and a 22 1/2" were the biggest. I switched up the lures today and went with the ...

Fished Williams Bayou / Joe's Bay today from the launch just south of the skyway. Very nice launch area with a short paddle to good fishing. The launch is located just north of the Orange Groves on Stotz Road in Terra Ceia. Boy was the trout bite on this morning. 45 Trout in 3 Hours. A good number w...

Fished the mouth of the Manatee River yesterday. Launched from the end of Emerson Point and fished the flats just west of the park. there was a ton of bait fish all over the flats. The trout bite was on. Pulled in over 20 trout in about 40 min of fishing that area. No real size just low slot trout. ...

I put in at the middle of the Causeway, About a 20min paddle north east and I was at the entrance to Cabbagehead Bayou. I fished the flat just outside in the Bay. Fish were moving early. But it got super skinny FAST... Had to walk a good way out to get in deep water.

Fished Cabbagehead Bayou this morning, Nice trout to start the morning 17". Then a little down time when all of a sudden I look over and a huge ball of Redfish start showing some tail. First cast in with a spook jr and BAMM.. a nice 23" Red as I bring it to the boat I see he sucked the spo...

Jason,
Lets not give out Rik's secret spot...

I fished there last week and only caught one huge trout... Not a red in sight .

It has always been a hit or miss for me at Cockroach. I find the best time to fish there is on an outgoing tide. I have caught most of my reds in the second inlet to the left just before you go out onto the flat. I hit the islands to the left and seem to pull out nice fish. I have only caught one sn...

I saw I guy out there on Thursday who said it was only a 10min Paddle from where he put in to where I was fishing. It took me an Hour. He said something about a trail from the Museum that put him out where I was fishing on the North side just south of the Power plant. I looked on the map I can't fin...

Had a good trip . Just a very long paddle Caught a good # of Reds and snook just south of the power plant. Just before the first cut into Weedon Island... Just make sure your ready for an hour Paddle each way.
