So far this winter has been exceptionally good this year for our hogfishing. Not only are we catching limits of these delicious hogs but we also are getting tons of gag grouper, grunts, porgies and snappers as well. With spring around the corner lets talk about whats to come. The flats fishing for our snook, trout, and redfish had been getting better as the water temps rise. We havent quite seen the full on spring bite yet but its coming in hot! We predict a wide open inshore bite coming in the next few weeks. Also the offshore has been very good for red grouper the last few weeks. If your looking for some fish that really pull back and are great table fair that is always a great option. We should have plenty of tuna and kingfish showing up any day out there as well. So give us a call to get out there and do some fishing this year.

This is by far the strangest spring we have ever experienced here at Bradenton Fishing Charters. We truly hope everyone is doing OK and this COVID-19 pandemic will pass in the near future. As far as the fishing is concerned, the trips we are running are full of action. The flats have been loaded with hungry snook, trout and redfish. The near reefs are producing cobia, kingfish and permit, and big grouper are being caught further out. The weather has been ideal, and we hope it continues through this summer. Many of our trips have been cancelled with not as many people coming in from out of town, but we are still open for business. Give us a call, and let us take you out for a few hours to get some fresh air and bend a rod.

The bite has been good around our mid range reefs.
