Warming trend to bring great fishing to Bradenton & Anna Maria Island
Taylor Cowieson • January 24, 2021
Lots of action on our fishing charters lately!
The last week we have had sunny weather and the temperature has been getting up into the 70s consistently making the fish active! On our fishing charters lately we have been able to target snook and they have been hungry! We have mostly been targeting them around the docks with whitebait and shrimp. In the Manatee river we have been catching snook along the docks and there has also been quite a few smaller redfish io the 18-20” and a ton of spotted seatrout that are about the same size as the reds, making for great action for our clients. It is shaping up to be great inshore fishing this spring in Tampa bay.
The sheepshead fishing is getting better by the day as these fish start to spawn in the next couple weeks. These fish are delicious to eat and make for a great fish fry or fish taco night. For the next month these fish will provide great action around bridge structure and some of the rock piles in Tampa bay. We are primarily fishing with shrimp and fiddler crabs with a small hook to match the size of the bait and have a better chance of hooking these fish. Along with the sheepshead we have been catching mangrove snapper and Key West grunts, which also make for excellent table fare.
For the next couple weeks we are going to have great weather and I have some open days. Give me a call or text 813-220-8725 to book a fishing charter. We are based in Bradenton and Anna Maria Island, just a short drive from Tampa and Sarasota. Catch some awesome fish and enjoy a day on the water with some of the nicest weather Florida has to offer
