As far as snook fishing goes the bite remains really consistent and there is a good amount of larger fish around and willing to eat. the rain will be a good thing cooling the water down a little bit along with stronger tides towards the end of this week making snook a good option. On some of the mangrove shorelines like Emerson Point the fish are scattered along the edges and inside the potlholes in the grass flats. Looking for areas that are holding bait over shallow grass adjacent to a deeper cut will most likely be holding snook. live pilchards for bait will do the trick but a large pinfish or chunk of ladyfish and some patience will entice the larger fish. We have also been finding some spanish mackeral and small sharks around some of the artificial reefs in the bay using the whitebait to help chum them in closer to the boat once we anchor.

If you are looking to get out on the water and have some fun catching fish and enjoying the sun, or want to hook into your first tarpon and experience something you will never forget give me a call at 813-220-8725 and I can make it happen!

My fishing charters are based out of Bradenton and Anna Maria Island FL also serving longboat key and siesta key.
