fast action in Sarasota before front

Action was very good on the deeper grass flats early in the week! Clients fishing with Capt Jon and Capt Jim had fast action casting Bass Assassin Sea Shad baits on a 1/4 ounce jig head. There were a lot of ladyfish, doubles were common. Along with the hard-fighting ladies, anglers landed Spanish mackerel, bluefish, pompano, and numerous spotted sea trout. The flats north of New Pass were best. A severe mid week front shut down the fishing and we had to cancel Wednesday and Thursday. Capt Jim had a fly fishing trip on Fri, and in tough conditions caught trout, ladyfish, and small snook casting Clouser Moinnow patterns.
