Who needs Cheeseburgers When You Can Have Wahoo In Paradise?

Wahoo! It's been a great time out there fishing in paradise! Capt. Larry loves to support law enforcement, and had the opprotunity to recently by showing them a great time fishing. The Catch of the Week goes to Josh Phillips, from Lakeland. He's pictured below, next to first mate Anthony, with a great wahoo he caught using a sardine, in about 125 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island.In the group shot below, from left to right is Brian Phillips, Josh Phillips, and John Phillips from Lakeland, with very nice red grouper, red snapper and wahoo. These were caught fishing with sardines in 125 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island with Capt Larry

The day started out heading far offshore, closing in on one specific area Capt. Larry knows to have prodigious amount of fish. Almost immediately they saw a school of Mahi-Mahi & on the bottom, they found a sizable area of large red snappers and huge red grouper. The party was in the midst of catching many of them when the wahoo came to the back of the boat. First mate Anthony kept him happy by feeding him bits of bait until Capt. Larry got a flat line ready and all the grouper rods out of the way. A sardine was thrown the wahoo's way, Josh jumped on it... and the fight was on. An hour later, there a wahoo in the boat! Josh is a deputy with the Osceola Sheriffs office and was on a special trip with his dad and three brothers.

Also while on a family trip, Colin Grooms of Bradenton, pictured above with his first red snapper that he caught using a sardine in about 150 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island. Colin also caught his first Mahi Mahi that same day, as well as red grouper, monster mangrove snapper, and sharks with his dad, Barry Grooms, and Capt Larry.

Life is good when you're fishing in a good spot... come on out and see for yourself how fantastic the fishing is. Don't worry, be happy!

Thanks,
Capt. Larry McGuire

Bachelor Party on the Beach!

The offshore action has been absolutely awesome this week, and actually the previous six weeks, have all been phenomenal. The extraordinary trips Capt. Larry has been taking his charters on, have been coming back flush with red snapper, now that the season is open. On Show Me The Fish Charters, anglers are working depths from 125 ft to 160 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key catching lots of firetruck red grouper- up to 25 lbs, mahi-mahi, plentiful porgies, large sharks, toothy barracudas, & catch and release gag grouper. . Live and cut bait all producing.
The big boy fish have been poppin' offshore. Pictured above is Parker Dalla (left), serving in the US Air Force, and David Kiel (right), a Marine, holding a nice blacktip shark they caught. These warriors were in town for Parker's wedding on the beach, and also caught more sharks, amberjacks, red and mangrove snappers and a bonus of 48 large flag yellowtail snappers... all while fishing in about 170 ft.

To the right is Catch of the Week! It's a patriotic American Red Snapper, held & caught by 12 yr old Rocky Finerty, from Wilmington Delaware. On that trip, they caught their limit of red snappers, a pair of 7 lb mangrove snappers, grouper and amberjack. Rocky carries his name very well, as he was Capt. Larry's "Go To" man on that trip. Note: Capt. Larry specializes in helping the inexperienced, children, ladies 'out fish' the men on the trip that HAVE fished before.

Now is as good of a time as any, to come out and get a piece of this action for yourself... Don't miss out!


Thanks,

Fireworks exploding on offshore action

On Show Me The Fish Charters, parties are watching explosions of all American amberjacks, kaleidoscopes of kingfish, roaring red snapper (& vermilion with voracious appetites), robust red grouper, monstrous mangrove snappers, along with powerful porgies, salacious sharks, and barracudas big enough to boast over. Stare into the mouth of the barracuda Rokey Vious Williams holds ... IF YOU DARE! It was his 1st barracuda ever, and caught with a tube lure 15 miles offshore Anna Maria.

Like the rockets red glare, and bombs bursting in air, Capt. Larry's trips gave proof that the fishing is blowing up off of both Longboat Key & Anna Maria Island, around 150 ft. Sardines are what the fish are salivating for, but live and cut bait both are bringing in a plentiful parade of fish.

How many red snapper have you caught this year? Whatever the answer, it's probably not enough; remember, American red snapper go out of season July 19 12:01 am! Soon, it will be too late to get what are some of the tastiest fish in the gulf, so now is the time to get as much red snapper as possible...Capt. Larry's Tip of the week-> Freeze any extra red snapper by adding enough water to fully cover the fish in a ziplock bag & make sure all of air is out of the freezer bag. This ensures you have red snapper to fill your frying pans to make it through until the season opens again.
Capt. Larry hopes your 4th of July was fun F squared; fish & fireworks! Happy Independence Day everyone!

Thanks,
Capt. Larry McGuire
