Anna Maria - Freshwater Fishing Report

Bass are biting well on Lake Istapoka. While over to the lake for gator hunting we are catching bass up to 8 lbs. fishing with spinnerbaits in and around the lilly pads and bull rushes, but the real prize was a 10'3" bull alligator.

We killed the beast on a public hunt following the state guidelines, not an easy task.

This time of year we run guided hunts from Aug. 15th till Nov.1st on a first come first serve basis and hunts are very limited so if you want a piece of real Florida Gator hunting and a hunt like no other Book your trip this year for next year and get ready for the time of your life.
