Anglers fishing with me, out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, had good action with trout, Spanish mackerel and blues on Clouser flies on deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay recently. Fly anglers also had decent action catching and releasing snook in the ICW at night.

Frank Zaffino also fished a night trip in the ICW and had good action with snook on flies. David Schofield and Fred Weeman, from Sarasota, had similar action with snook on flies on another trip.
Look for reds and snook in skinny water. Deep grass flats are usually a good option for action with trout, blues, pompano, Spanish mackerel and more. Snook fishing around dock lights and bridges should also be a good option now.
Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides and other algae blooms 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!
