Best Action on Sarasota Bay's Deep Grass Flats

Capt. Rick Grassett
December 4, 2008
Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report

Anglers fishing with me on the Snook Fin-Addict, out of CB's Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, had good action on deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay during the week of Nov. 10th. Nick Reding and Bob Harness, both from St. Louis, MO, fished Sarasota Bay with me on Monday. Although we spent a good portion of the day hunting for reds, we had some action in deeper water with trout and ladyfish on Clouser flies.

My friend, Capt. Mel Berman of 970 WFLA's Capt. Mel Show, fished with me on Tuesday afternoon and spoke at the Sarasota Sportfishing Anglers Club meeting later that evening. We had fast action with trout to 20", bluefish and pompano to 3-pounds and ladyfish at the Middleground Flat, Stephens Point and Bishops Point on jigs and flies.

Sarasota winter resident, Tom Lamb, fished with me on Wednesday afternoon. We had fast action with trout, bluefish and pompano at the Middleground Flat and Bishops Point on CAL jigs with shad tails. Dennis Bolte and Jack Motica, both from CO, finished the week out with me on Friday. They also caught and released trout, bluefish, gag grouper and ladyfish on Clouser flies at the Middleground Flat and near Buttonwood Harbor.
