Shrimping Brings Mixed Prospects as Juvenile Shrimp Arrive
Bait remains scarce with big shrimp drifting out into the Gulf while baby shrimp migrate in from the Gulf over the last month. Fishing stays good for those with bait as anglers use cut baits clams minnows and mullet heads. Snook redfish and snapper show gains with trout plentiful though moss fouls lines. Mrs Jane B Allen of Long Beach notes the scene near two shrimp boats often painted by artists and Sarasota buildings visible in clear days. Ted Newhall photographed the area and captured a tarpon scene, with leads in heavy medium and light tackle divisions for the week.
