Fly anglers fishing Sarasota Bay with me, out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, had good action catching and releasing trout and a variety of other species recently.
Pat Beckwith from Sarasota, and Lyle Beckwith from VA, fished deep grass flats with sink tip fly lines and weighted flies with me and in addition to numerous trout. They also caught and released mangrove snapper, Spanish mackerel and a sharpnose shark. Jeff Lasoski, from WI, also had good action catching and releasing trout and a tripletail on flies on another trip.

Snook fishing around dock lights and bridges should be a good option now. You may also find juvenile tarpon in canals and creeks and in a few places mixed with snook around dock lights. Look for reds in skinny water. Fishing deep grass flats for a variety of species is also usually a good option for action.
Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides 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!
