November was a month of wind, rain, sun and calm conditions.

It also was a month of redfish, snook, spotted seatrout, bluefish and Spanish. The only thing missing was pompano,
a species that usually shows up in good numbers around Sarasota Bay in November. Perhaps we'll catch plenty of pompano in December.

We did a lot of fly fishing in November. Most of the action took place in the shallows and deep grass around Buttonwood Harbor on the west side of Sarasota Bay off Longboat Key. We did pretty well, casting Gibby's TK Flies and synthetic Clousers.
