Fishing fair in Sarasota as storms move through

Fishing was decent this week, though weather was an issue. It was windy early in the week, with some Small Craft Advisories. The wind eased up later in the week. Clients casting jigs caught speckled trout, bluefish, ladyfish, grouper, sea bass, snapper, and other species. The water near the passes was dirty from the big storm swell. The flats in the middle of the bay, Bishop's Pt., Buttonwood, and Stephen's Pt., were best. Bait was scattered out in the dirty water, so we stuck with the jigs.
