—With prolonged air temperatures in the 80°s, fishing here around Anna Maria Island has been red hot. I have been catching live bait (pilchards) all month, which is unusualy early in the season. All this bait around in Tampa Bay, along with some above average temperatures, equals great inshore fishing.

—The final dog days of summer are within sight here, on Anna Maria Island. Inshore fishing in Tampa Bay is really heating up as the month rolls on; snook are flooding back into the Intercoastal Waterway, large schools of breeder-sized redfish are forming on the seagrass flats, and seatrout are staging up around the mouth of the Manatee River and Terra Ceia Bay.

—July fishing around Anna Maria Island has been almost as hot as the thermometer!
The huge influx of small “hatch bait” into Tampa and Sarasota Bay has the gamefish all fired up.

—With the spring break crowds thinning out, and water temps pushing up, the inshore bite in Tampa and Sarasota Bay is on. Fishing around Anna Maria Island for snook, seatrout and redfish the past couple weeks has provided a bunch of good action for my clients.
