Capt. Rick Grassett’s Sarasota, FL Fishing Report
12/25/2010
Anglers fishing the ICW near Venice with me on my flats skiff the Snook Fin-Addict, out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, caught and released snook and trout on an evening trip last week. I also had fast action with trout in Palma Sola Bay when I fished a day with my friend Steve Gibson.
Longtime friend and customer, David Schofield from Sarasota, FL, and his son Mike, from New York City, fished lighted docks and bridge fenders in the ICW near Venice with me on Wednesday evening. I was monitoring water temperature all week and was cautiously optimistic. Sunny afternoons warmed the water a few degrees this week and fish responded favorably. They caught and released 5 snook to 22” and an 18” trout on my Grassett Snook Minnow fly. Although there weren’t a lot of snook in the lights, we found them actively feeding in a couple of spots.
The next day I was the guest of Steve Gibson, of Southern Drawl Kayak Fishing, to do some kayak fishing. We fished Palma Sola Bay and had fast action with numerous trout to 22” and a few small reds and flounder on CAL jigs with grubs and shad tails. Gibby can be reached at www.kayakfishingsarasota.com .
Next week’s tides and weather should improve towards the end of next week. With a strong front pushing through this weekend, conditions may be windy and cool for a couple of days. Afternoons may fish better due to warmer water. Fish jigs and flies slow and close to the bottom for the best action. Happy Holidays to everyone!
Tight Lines,
