Steady bite on the deep flats in Sarasota

{%image_id=62660%}Once again, the best bite has been on the deep grass flats in north Sarasota Bay. Just about every frat with submerged grass in 6' to 8' of water held fish. There was a lot of bait fish that accounted for the good fishing. Anglers casting Bass Assassin jigs and Gulp Shrimp caught some decent sized bluefish, speckled trout, jack crevalle, ladyfish, catfish, and more. Middlegrounds, Bishop's Point, and Buttonwood were the top spots. There are a lot of snook in the passes and off the beaches. However, west winds have hampered that fishing.
