Big Red, Light Tackle by Basil Dubrosky
Departed the dock before sunrise today, March 14, easy to do with the time change. Went to the mangroves near our condo in Sarasota, Florida on Sarasota Bay. I caught this personal best red on a 1/16 ounce jig with…
First Report for 2023 by Ed Valitutto
I went out yesterday (1/18) fishing the mangroves with a guide I used last year in a 16′ bay boat. We’d had some ‘Florida cold’ weather (50-60) for the last few days that put the fish off their feed. Fortunately,…
More Surf Stripers by Pat Presutto

Great day on the Ocean by Larry Leary
My son Brian fished Tuesday 10/11 with a co- worker friend Phil. They had a lot of action with Triggerfish keeping 4 for the table. They also had a nice tog and released a 44” Striper from a snag and…
Fishing LBI by Larry Leary
Yesterday 10/10. Brian & I started out in Holgate and fished acres of bunker pods all the way up to Barnegat Inlet. We had one knock down but didn’t hook up! We heard last night that the bite was at…
