A Complete Bait & Tackle Shop

Well the water has finally cleared up and the fishing improved. Fishing on the flats on good tide days produced plenty of trout, ladyfish and Spanish mackerel.

Friday morning I switched gears and fished the pass with jigs. We caught and released 6 permit as well as a few pompano, my guys missed at least a dozen bites till they got the hang of working the jig.

The water has cleared up in Sarasota Bay.

I’d say things are looking up for Sarasota Bay!
