Capt. Rick Grassett’s Sarasota Fishing Report for 4/24/2020
Anglers fishing with me, out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, had some action catching and releasing snook in the ICW at night and trout on deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay on flies recently. In light of the current situation, social distancing and sanitizing procedures were followed on the boat.
Bill Morrison, from Anna Maria, fished Sarasota Bay with me recently and had some action catching and releasing trout on an Ultra Hair Clouser fly. Port Charlotte winter residents Gerry Tipper and Ted Hesson fished the ICW at night with me and had some action catching and releasing snook on my Grassett Snook Minnow fly. Mike Perez and Denton Kent, from Sarasota, also got in on the night snook action on another trip recently.
Fishing shallow flats for catch and release reds and snook is a good option now. Fishing deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay is a good choice for action with a variety of species including trout, pompano, blues and Spanish mackerel. Fishing dock lights in the ICW at night is usually a good option for snook and more. Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides fueled by industrial, agricultural and residential runoff, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!
