Good surface action in Sarasota!

Sarasota fishing report 10/9: Fishing was good this week, with clients experiencing both action and variety. Virtually all the fish were caught on artificial lures, other than the last hour on a trip early in the week. Schools of "breaking fish", (fish that are feeding aggressively on the surface) were encountered in both deep and shallow water. The best action was on the flats north of New Pass. Spanish mackerel to 4 pounds, speckled trout to 23″, a ton of jacks, ladyfish, sharks, snapper, bluefish, and other species kept the rods bent. Jigs caught most of the fish while a #10 Rapala X-Rap caught a few of the larger mackerel. {%image_id=68725%}
