Pat Beckwith , from, Sarasota, with a nice pompano.
Fly anglers fishing with me, out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, had good action with a variety of species in Sarasota recently.
Pat Beckwith, from Sarasota, fished deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay and had good action catching and releasing numerous trout, pompano and more on Clouser flies.
Rusty Chinnis, from Longboat Key, and I scouted the coastal gulf on a couple of trips and caught and released several false albacore, Spanish mackerel and a tripletail on flies.
Longboat Key’s Rusty Chinnis with a false albacore.
Rusty is shown here displaying a tripletail.
With plentiful baitfish and stone crab traps now being placed in the coastal gulf, it may be a strong fall season.
Look for reds in skinny water and snook and juvenile tarpon around dock lights. You should also find snook in the surf. Deep grass flats are usually a good option for action for trout and seasonal species.
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!
