Hello there fish fans!
The weather is starting to get a bit better around Anna Maria Island - fingers crossed - so hopefully we can look forward to an improvement in fishing. We are getting towards prime sheepshead season and only yesterday I saw a few decent ones pulled over the pier on Manatee County public beach to sand flea.
All the island's piers are reporting good showings of sheepshead, bluefish and mackerel, with the sea captains putting their charter clients over plenty of gag grouper and snapper. So now's the time to get out on the water.
As the captain's report in the Anna Maria Island Sun newspaper says: 'Time to pray for calm waters and a mild winter. The near shore artificial reefs can produce some great action if conditions are right. Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, lesser amberjack, little tunny and barracuda all are possibilities. Inshore big reds may school; snook are coming to the warmer waters around islands, mangroves and under docks. Trout are also looking for warmer water so look for areas where the water isn't moving to much or has deeper/darker bottom that creates warmth.'
Tight lines everyone!
