Anglers prepared to get out there and brave the chilly weather are being rewarded with some great catches off Anna Maria Island. The wind and cold might not suit the angler but the water temperature is perfect for the fish at between 68 and 70 degrees.
Captains are reporting a colorful return with redfish, bluefish, black drum and yellowtail jacks all being brought in. Meanwhile, backwater fishing for sheepshead is also starting to pick up, while snook season is well under way although they are fish running a little small so far.
Captain Larry McGuire in the Anna Maria Sun, reports great fishing offshore, with gag and red grouper, amberjack, big kingfish, cobia and a variety of snappers.
‘The best action on my four-hour trips has been out in the 30- to 60-foot range,’ he says. ‘On full day trips, going deeper out past 100 feet is hot. Both live and cut bait are working. Have a happy Thanksgiving.’
Well, the same to you captain…
Tight lines!
