Bill Morrison, from Anna Maria Island, his son, James and grandson, Patrick, from MA, fished Sarasota Bay with me and had good action with trout to 17” and a nice pompano on CAL jigs with shad tails and Clouser flies.

Look for reds, snook and larger trout in shallow water. Fishing deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay is a usually a good choice for action with a variety of species including trout, pompano, blues and more. Snook at night around dock lights in the ICW is also a good option depending on conditions.

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