Capt. Ed Hurst fishing the waters of Sarasota Bay.
Jerry Phelps, from Austin TX, went on an instructional fly casting/fishing trip with me in Sarasota Bay this past week. After a few show and tell tips Jerry’s casting improved dramatically.
Catching was slow to start but we kept moving and found some happy fish on the Middle Grounds northeast of New Pass. Jerry caught ladyfish, trout, bluefish and a nice pompano that he enjoyed for dinner. With the cold fronts coming and water temps dropping I expect fishing to continue to be good. Happy Thanksgiving, happy fishing, and safe travels.
Sarasota has been Ed's home since 1956. He's fished these area waters since he was nine years old. From 1995 until the present he's guided anglers exclusively in and around the backwaters of Sarasota Bay. Fly fishing is his passion and he's an Orvis Endorsed Guide.
