On Show Me The Fish Charters, operating out of the Bradenton Beach Marina, we are experiencing intense offshore action. Catching lots of amberjacks, mangrove and yellowtail snappers, blacktip and bull sharks on the wrecks about 30 to 40 miles offshore. On Wwiss cheese-hard bottom catching red grouper,triggerfish, porgys, and more snappers. But the best big red grouper catches are South off Venice in about 140 ft. We have been avoiding the larger ledges because they are just covered up with gag grouper and American red snapper. On June 1st the red snapper season opens up and my very best friends are waiting down there for us to catch. Closer in around 40 to 70 ft there are still some kingfish around and smaller grouper and snapper. Usually all summer long we hook into a few  really big smoker kings and cobia.

Now that the wind has calmed down, it's tarpon time in our passes and along the beaches, along with lots of sharks following the tarpons and jet skiers. Best tarpon bait is pass crabs and thread hearing, and for the amberjack live blue runners and pinfish are great.

The weather is now perfect in Paradise, fishing is off the chart. Now is the time to come on out and get ya some. Fish and be happy!
