Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report

I am back from North Carolina and in Sarasota until next May. Fishing was steady this week in a variety of locations. Anglers casting Bass Assassin jigs and Gulp Shrimp on jig heads along with fly anglers tossing Clouser and Crystal Minnow patterns caught a lot of speckled trout to 19", several bluefish to 4 pounds, and mackerel to 3 pounds. Jacks, ladyfish, sea bass and other species were also landed. Most deep grass from Siesta Drive to Buttonwood were productive. Large ladyfish hit jigs in Big Pass. Local creeks produced a few small snook on fly.
