Fish Anna Maria Island With A Local Charter Fishing Guide

March 2020 Anna Maria Island Fishing

—As March 2020 rolls around, fishing inside Tampa Bay and Anna Maria Island starts to heat up. Chilly mornings begin to give way to picture perfect weather by late morning. My clients have been thrilled to have some incredible snook action so early in the year. We are targeting the linesiders during strong tides, using live shiners, around mangrove points, cuts, sandbars and docks. We are seeing a few bonus redfish mixed in with the snook.

Anna Maria Island fishing reports- March 30, 2019

       The final destinations of fishing excursions during March 2019 around Anna Maria Island have been dictated by the variable weather conditions. It has been hard to get offshore in the Gulf of Mexico because of the winds but thankfully the backwater fishing has been great.

—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.

Snook Fishing Report

—Here in the Tampa Bay waters surrounding Anna Maria Island, Bradenton and Longboat Key,  March 1st signals the opening of snook season. Recreational anglers are permitted to keep one snook per day that measures between 28 inches and 32 inches in total length during March and April. We have been lucky enough to have some early warm weather coincide with the opening this year, so it’s been a great week targeting snook in both Tampa Bay and Sarasota Bay! Water temps have been in the low 70°s this week, which is just what your want for springtime snook fishing.

-We have experienced some heavy weather extremes here in Cortez, Florida this week. A late season cold front brought brutal wind and dropped water temps about 10° overnight!
-Despite all that, my clients pounded out a steady bag of seatrout, snook and redfish inshore in and around Tampa Bay and Sarasota Bay.

Redfish, Snook, Trout, Sheepshead

—With all the wind around the Tampa Bay area this week, I’ve been forced to stay inshore. My clients have been catching snook along Anna Maria mangrove shorelines, oyster bars, and channel edges.  We are catching them on free-lined shiners, or under a popping cork. We’ve landed a few nice keeper sized fish, but the majority are sub-slot juveniles. A slot sized snook has every advantage in the fight vs. the angler! About half of big snook hooked, will win the battle and break free somehow.

—Inshore fishing action is starting to warm up along with the water temperature.
I’m seeing plenty of snook and trout around, with live whitebait being the bait of choice. Trout love shiners, but are also willing to take an artificial lure such as a gulp shrimp or bucktail jig.
—As we head into March, I expect the backwater bite to gain momentum as the water temperatures continue to increase.
