Pompano showing up in Sarasota

Fall seems like it is finally arriving as the there was quite a bit of surface activity from schools of feeding fish. Bluefish, jacks, and ladyfish hit Bass Assassin jigs and Rapala plugs cast over submerged grass beds in Sarasota Bay on Sarasota fishing charters. The jigs worked well in deeper water while plugs produced on the shallower flats. Speckled trout and mackerel were also landed. But, the big news was that pompano were landed on every charter, a most welcome addition to the daily catches. This action should continue for several months until it gets cold. {%image_id=56062%}
