Anglers fishing with me on my flats skiff the Snook Fin-Addict, out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, caught and released little tunny, Spanish mackerel, trout and blues during the past week. The best bite was with little tunny in the coastal gulf.
Don and Linda Tase, from NH, fished the coastal gulf off Siesta and Casey Keys with me on Monday. They caught and released 7 or 8 little tunny on my Grassett Snook Minnow fly and a CAL jig with a shad tail. Pete Walocko, from MI, got in on the action on Tuesday as he landed several on flies. Everette Howell, Jr. from Nashville, TN also had a great day, landing 7 or 8 little tunny on my snook fly. Most fish averaged about 7-pounds but several weighed more than 10-pounds. The action was awesome as schools of little tunny turned the surface into white water as they fed on glass minnows.
A front pushed through on Friday afternoon slowing action in Sarasota Bay and making it too rough to fish the coastal gulf. Bill Beauchamp, from Bradenton, FL, and his friend Mark, from Sarasota, fished Sarasota Bay with me on Friday. A strong south breeze made fishing tough but they caught and released trout to 18” and bluefish on CAL jigs with shad tails and DOA Deadly Combos at Stepehens Point and along the west side of the bay. Norm Worthington and his son, Addison, from Siesta Key, FL, fished Sarasota Bay with me on Saturday. The action was slow as another round of rain pushed through that morning. They caught a few trout, a blue and some large ladyfish on CAL jigs with shad tails and DOA Deadly Combos in Big Pass and at Stephens Point.
Next week’s tides will improve towards the end of the week as we head towards a new moon on Dec. 5th. Negative low tides in the morning should concentrate reds, snook and trout in potholes in skinny water. Action in the coastal gulf should also continue until water temperature drops significantly.
