Get out there people!

Captain Mike Heistand, writing for The Islander in Anna Maria, reports a steady pick-up in action from all his fellow captains and by those returning from the island's piers this week.
He says: 'Fishing has improved after passage of the blustery weather spurred by the first real cold front to arrive on our shores this fall. Offshore fishers were able to get out in the Gulf of Mexico and bring back excellent catches of grouper and snapper. Most of the action is still a bit out from shore, but colder water temperatures should bring the fish closer to the beach.
'Backwater fishing for redfish is great right now. Snook action is scattered depending on tides and location. Mackerel are still around and biting, and it’s the start of the sheepshead season.'
The pier anglers at Anna Maria City and the Rod and Reel have been reporting sheepshead, mackerel, mangrove snapper and redfish, snook and black drum.
