Anna Maria Fall Report - Water temp is the key with finding the fish this time of year. I keep a close look to my fish finder temp gauge. Sometimes just a few degrees up or down will make all the difference between a good catch and nothing at all.
With water temps in the more...

October trick or treat fishing - People ask me all the time what time of year is the best for fishing? Without a doubt April and October are the two best months of the year. October is my favorite just because the fishing pressure is less than Aprils spring madness. Both months are more...

Good end of summer fishing off Anna Maria - The last couple of weeks redfish have been on fire. My poor popping corks have really taken a beating almost everyone has teeth marks. Sometimes I think putting a hook at the bottom of the float would catch more fish then the bait. On the better days more...

Summertime patterns - Summer fishing off Anna Maria means getting on and off the water early. Most of my trips are half day this time of year and that is just fine with me.

July 4 week off with a blast. - The week of the fourth was very good for fishing. Tropical storm Debbie was out of here and the fishing showed. The challenge early in the week was finding clear water to fish. With all the fresh water coming out of the rivers and creeks I thought it more...

Summer bite off Anna Maria - Tarpon have slowed down some which was expected because of the early spring we had this year. Catch & release snook fishing is off the charts. A lot of smaller males from 20 to 25 inches with a few good size sow's up in the high 30 inch range. It jus more...
