Florida Fishing Reports for BradentonFlorida Fishing Reports for Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, Palmetto, Sarasota, and Longboat Key - submitted July 2, 2008 Live Shrimp - catches everything inshoreWow, we have had lots of fun fishing with live shrimp this year. My springbreakers and summer vacationing kids have had a tremendous amount of action, fishing with live shrimp. Snook, reds, and trout top the list of a huge variety of inshore species. Other catches on shrimp include : flounder, baby gags, manrove snapper, pompano, sheepshead, mackeral, black drum, jack crevalle, bonnethead sharks, baby blacktips, rays, skates, puffers, whiting, ladyfish and more. So if the kids want to go fishing, pick up some shrimp and pitch 'em up under a dock or two. You're sure to boat something and maybe even dinner. Now, doesn't that sound like fun?  Shrimp, plus assorted baitfish
Summer Snookin' After DarkWhat a great year for snookin! High gas prices and new snook regulations I believe have been the contributing factors. Clients have been catching many nice snook around docks after dark over the last few weeks. Recent afternoon rain storms have been pushing charters into the night, but that's ok by me.  36-inch Snook
With extreme heat during the day, I believe the fish have been feeding more after dark for the most part. Snook are nocturnal and seem to just be more active at night. Clients are still catching a mixed bag of fish along with the snook.  30-inch Snook
Most nights are bringing trout at the very end outgoing tide as well as ladyfish, redfish and mangrove snapper. Most snook are ranging from 25 to 36 inches and are putting up great fights. Shrimp, shiners and pinfish seem to be doing the trick. With extreme water clarity most fish are being caught on 25lb flourocarbon leader, so we can get them to bite. Twenty five pound leader has also caused us to loose a few monsters also, but that's ok! If you're interested in some night snookin' give us a call. Capt. Brook Wallace
