Jon Yenari, from Sarasota, with a red he caught and released on a CAL Shad while fishing Gasparilla Sound with Capt. Rick Grassett recently.
Anglers fishing with me, out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, had good action with snook on DOA Lures in Gasparilla Sound recently. Jon Yenari and Kyle Ruffing, both from Sarasota, caught and released numerous snook to 30”, trout and a red on CAL shad tails while fishing that area with me. Fly anglers also had some action with false albacore and tripletail in the coastal gulf on another recent trip.
Fish the coastal gulf for false albacore (little tunny), Spanish mackerel and tripletail when conditions are good. Shallow water action for reds and snook should turn on as the water cools.
Fishing deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay is also a good choice for action with a variety of species including trout, blues and Spanish mackerel. Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides fueled by industrial, agricultural and residential runoff, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!
