Anglers fishing with me, out of CB's Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, had good action with a variety of species in Sarasota recently. Gene Christie and Lynn Platt, from Sarasota, fished Sarasota Bay with me and had good action catching and releasing trout, bluefish and pompano on CAL jigs with shad tails. Dave Wahl, from Parrish, also got in on the action with a fly, catching and releasing trout and bluefish on Clouser flies. Barney Naylor and Scott Carpenter, from MI, also had good fly fishing action, catching and releasing trout and blues in Sarasota Bay and tripletail in the coastal gulf. {%image_id=71836%} {%image_id=71837%} {%image_id=71835%} Tripletail and false albacore may be a good option in the coastal gulf depending on conditions. Look for reds in skinny water and snook around dock lights. Deep grass flats are usually a good option for action for trout and seasonal species such as pompano, blues and Spanish mackerel. Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides and other algae blooms fueled by residential, industrial and agricultural runoff, toxic spills and intentional releases, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don't kill your limit!
