Kingfish, Mangrove Snapper, Sharks
—This week, Tampa Bay and Anna Maria Island fishing has been defined by strong South winds, and tough, but surprisingly productive fishing. Nearshore fishing has produced Spanish mackerel, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, and some flounder. Offshore reef fishing has been providing larger mangrove snapper bites, as well as sharks in high numbers, and the occasional kingfish.

Sharks, Grouper, Redfish

Sharks and mackerel have been roaming the beaches and large schools can be found following the thread fin herring.
