Sarasota - Saltwater Fishing Report
Pompano continued to please anglers on Sarasota fishing charters this week, both in the passes and on the flats. Banana jigs, small pompano jigs, and Gulp Shrimp on a jig head caught them. There are a ton of small bottom fish in the passes such as snapper, sea bass, and grouper that took the jigs as well. A few Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and ladyfish were also caught. In other words, a good way to keep the rods bent! Early in the week, action on the deep grass flats was good, with a lot of speckled trout to 20" being caught. It is nice to see them rebounding! Pompano, mackerel, blues, and ladies were also landed. That bite slowed a bit later in the week, for whatever reason.
Trips to the Myakka River produced a few snook, largemouth bass, and several gar. The water is really a bit too warm for ideal fishing, I think that is the reason clients caught so many gar. Rapala plugs both cast and trolled caught the fish.
