Redfish are making a strong comeback in Sarasota Bay

I Tell You Whut! Redfish are making a notable comeback in Sarasota Bay, thanks to successful conservation efforts and improved water quality (except for the 35 million gallons of spilled effluent waste caused by Tropical Storm Debbie) These resilient fish, known for their distinctive copper color and spotted tails, are increasingly abundant in local waters. Anglers like yourself have been capitalizing on this resurgence by targeting docks and mangroves, where Redfish often hide in the shadows. Using live shrimp from Hart's Landing Baitshop has proven effective, enticing these prized fish out of their sheltered spots and making for some thrilling catches.
