SEPTEMBER 2009

The fishing has been very good this past month with summer time patterns dictating the fishing style and species. Plenty of mangrove snapper have been caught along with some very nice trout, as well as deepwater grouper and some nice snook and redfish. Just about any of these will be the headliner for the month of September depending on your tides and locations. Tarpon are still being caught in the early mornings under the south skyway fishing piers using a technique of chumming baits and sizing down your gear to 30lb class line and rods. Most of the tarpon being caught are in the 40-80 pound range. Because the rains have made the water cloudy, sight fishing along the beach for migrating tarpon has been difficult. Rolling fish are present in the passes and deeper channels early and late in the day. In fact I saw quite a few rolling fish in the vicinity of Bunces Pass late in the day on my way back to Anna Maria from St. Petersburg after dropping off a charter.  

 As we move into September, the weather will begin to cool, well at least I hope so, and the water temperatures will decline as well. Many parts of the bay are currently 86 degrees and some folks have been reporting loosing baits in Sarasota bay in 90+ degree water. Mornings will once again become cool for catching bait and spur on an early morning bite. Redfish have begun to show up along the shorelines of Manatee County and this last week we hooked 3 nice redfish that were all over ten pounds. It won’t be long before the remaining spawning fish arrive to the estuary through November. If you’re interested in catching some of these big west coast Drum be sure to book a date.

 As I sit here writing this report I am getting ready for a week long fishing trip to the Ten Thousand Islands and the Everglades National Park. On Florida’s’ west coast, it’s one of my favorite destinations and top places to fish. Besides which it is always nice to go new places and venture out and learn different waters. While I have been to the park in the past, there is so much water that it would take many years to learn. For those of you that have never been there, a good GPS, vhf radio and bug spray are on the top of the list. I recommend asking some of the locals for advice, most will be glad to share some information, but don’t be afraid to go a little further each day to see and experience more of the park. I hope to bring back some good memories and nice photos for next month.

 I would like to pass on some information about fly fishing for those that may be interested. The Bass Pro Shops in Orlando has organized a fly tying class which meets each Wednesday of the month and a beginning casting class that is scheduled each Saturday. If anyone is interested get in touch with the store or the fly fishing department. For those of you interested in tying flies they will loan you everything you need to tie flies in the store. While the casting class is meant for beginning casters, anyone is welcome to attend and I am almost positive that you will go away learning something. They have a great young team and enthusiastic group of personnel who love to share the passions and that’s the way to be introduced to a new sport. Till next month, keep your rod tip up and you’re drags set. (941) 238-7597
