Steady action on a variety of species in Sarasota

Fishing has been pretty good of late, for action, variety, and some quality fish. Ladyfish were thick in Big Pass, providing some great rod-bending action on jigs. Anglers casting Rapala X-Raps also caught snook along the sandy beach portions of the pass. Silver trout were reliable and provided some great meals along with a good fish. Speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, jacks, whiting, sharks, catfish, and other species also hit jigs and live bait fish on the deep flats.
