Passes and flats provide action in Sarasota

I took the end of the week off as the 4Th of July festivities kind of take over the town. Action was steady this week, though we had one morning that was breezy and the fishing a bit slow. The best spots this week were Stephen's Pt. and Big Sarasota Pass. Clients on Sarasota fishing charters caught Spanish mackerel and ladyfish in the pass on jigs and live minnows. Spephen's Pt. and the Middlegrounds held bluefish, speckled trout, jacks, snapper, grouper, sharks, ladyfish, catfish, and other species. Most of the fish were caught on Bass Assassin jigs and Gulp Shrimp. {%image_id=63478%}
