Anna Maria - Saltwater Fishing Report

Got a little lazy the last couple of trips instead of using shiners I bought ten dozen shrimp. Anytime the water temp drops into the mid sixties it seems the fish respond better to shrimp.

This trip held true to form and shrimp worked great! Redfish and trout started the rally. It wasn't long before we got into sheepshead, black drum and a few small snook. The highlight of the day was a pompano that pulled the boga grip scale to just shy of six pounds. The world record is eight pounds one oz. I told the charter that is like catching a fifteen pound large mouth bass.

Thank you & good fishing!
