Mixing it up off Anna Maria - I had the pleasure to fish with Dick Williams from Tennessee on wednesday this week. The wind was up just enough to keep us from going out to the reefs so we fished on the inside flats around longboat key and anna maria island. The tide was low when more...

Stay flexible in February - It is hard to tell we are still in winter here in Anna Maria. Water temps are more like mid spring. As a result the fish are not in typical patterns for this time of year. To stay ahead of the game you have to be flexible.

December/January Fishing Report - Great December/January weather has plenty of fish active over the flats throughout the bay. Redfish have been a good target from Miguel Bay to Sarasota bay. They are still schooling on the stronger tides resulting in good rallies of reds in all sizes more...
