Anna Maria - Saltwater Fishing Report

INSHORE:
The possibilities have been endless lately. The bite inshore is definitely going well with limits of trout, some days 50 - 70 not uncommon. Red fish are a daily event and lots more snook on the flats than last year. We have been seeing some nice schools of snook over a hundred in one area. A lot of these fish are over 30", a real good thing. Treat your snook with care and we will have another great snook fishery soon. Some tarpon are at the bridges and a few on the beaches and I suspect it to be in full swing by next week. The crabs are flushing out so bring it on.http://www.bassnbaycharters.com/joomla/

Offshore:

Tarpon are showing up on the beaches and will be in full swing next week. Reefs in Les than 40' are folding lots of flounder, some days as many as 20.

Cobia are on alot of these places and more would be keeper gag grouper than one can count. Still catching hog fish, bonita are everywhere, some kings still around. Some tuna have been caught and seen running with the bonita as well as I seen a Marlin last week in 40' of water. Goliath grouper are eating it all off the hook if you dont reel in your catch in a hurry." target="_blank" title="http://www.bassnbaycharters.com/joomla/">http://www.bassnbaycharters.com/joomla/
