Marshall Dinerman with a bluefish caught and released on a CAL jig with a shad tail while fishing Sarasota Bay with Capt. Rick Grassett recently.

Anglers fishing with me, out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, had good action catching and releasing reds, snook and trout on flies and DOA Lures in Sarasota Bay and Gasparilla Sound recently.

Fly anglers fished deep grass flats with sink tip fly lines while spin fishing anglers fished CAL jigs with a variety of tails and had good action catching and releasing trout in Sarasota Bay.

Marshall Dinerma and Mike St. Hilaire fished Sarasota Bay with me and in addition to numerous trout also caught and released a nice red and bluefish on a CAL jig with a shad tail.

Look for reds, snook and trout in skinny water. Deep grass flats are usually a good option for action with trout, blues, pompano, Spanish mackerel and more. Snook fishing around dock lights and bridges should also be a good option now.

Jon Yenari, from Sarasota, fished Gasparilla Sound near Boca Grande with me recently and had a banner day catching and releasing numerous snook, several reds to 26” and trout. After realizing late in the day that we were only 2 trout away from slams on fly and spin we worked hard to find a couple of trout to compete the slams on fly and spinning tackle. Great job!

Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides and other algae blooms fueled by residential, industrial and agricultural runoff, toxic spills and intentional releases, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!
