Springtime Fishing Anna Maria Island-March 2019

—Anna Maria island fishing guides all agree that March spring time backwater fishing is in full swing around Anna Maria Island, Tampa Bay and Bradenton. Water temperatures have eclipsed the magic 70° mark for a few weeks now, triggering a timeless migration of bait fish back into Tampa Bay, with predator fish in tow.

—My clients have consistently been finding inshore snook, seatrout and redfish action around Anna Maria Island, Palma Sola Bay, Manatee River and Sarasota Bay. Depending on the weather and tides, we are catching these guys along the mangroves, residential docks, oyster reefs, sandbars and channel edges.

—When charter fishing Anna Maria Island, live baitfish, the scaled sardine, is the go-to bait this time of year. We use all high-end, light tackle gear, to make it as sporty as possible.

—Springtime is super busy on the water, so book your trip today and let’s go catch em!
