Fish we are thankful for

Thanksgiving is a great time of year- delicious food, time with family & friends, and a day when we can all reflect on things we are grateful for.  Wonderful weather that's not too hot or cold, waters that are full of action packed fishing, & stone crab season (it opened Oct. 15th) are just a few of the many things to give thanks for.  Kingfish right off the beach is something else to be thankful for!  Not many people are aware of how many kings are this close inshore (don't tell anyone!), and the best time to fish for them is when we have a strong east wind & the seas are too large for the kingfish to go further offshore.  Might as well stay in closer & let the island block the winds... this allows YOU to be "king" of the beach!

Above is Megan Crane from WIlloughby, OH, with the first kingfish she's ever caught!  She was using a freelined sardine directly off Anna Maria Island.  Megan & her family also experienced a bountiful harvest of more kingfish, as well as other fish.

Mark Scovill is thankful for the grouper he caught while here from Grand Rapids, Michigan.  He's pictured above holding the gag he caught using sardines in about 50 ft offshore Anna Maria Island.  On the same trip with Capt. Larry, Mark & the party he was fishing with caught their limit of grouper & some miscellaneous snapper.

If post-Thanksgiving football isn't enough entertainment for you, book a trip with Show Me The Fish Charters & you'll not only have the good times you're looking for, but you're also sure to burn off some of those pumpkin pie calories!

No tricks, only treats!

Thought there's fishing in England, it's just not quite the same as the fishing in Tampa Bay waters.  Nathan Bowman- from London, England is pictured at left with his first kingfish, and it's an impressive one at that! The big king hit a free-lined sardine in about 60 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island. Nathan also caught his limit of red grouper and some snapper while fishing with Capt. Larry. 




Along with the kingfish & cobia, gag grouper are on the move, going closer inshore. To the right is Bill Evans from Bradenton, with his limit of monster gag grouper. He caught these beasts in about 50 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island using live grunts and pinfish. The party also caught more gag and red grouper, kingfish, mackerel and snappers.

Below is the Captain himself, holding a bright American Red Snapper he caught during the recent mini-season. He was using a sardine in about 125 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island. On that same trip, they also caught many large red grouper, a few gag grouper, scamps, lane and mangrove snapper.


 If your candy wasn't what you were craving, and you need something a little more fun than dressing up, Show Me the Fish Charters has exactly what you are looking for to kick your happiness into high gear!

Snap up some snappers!





Though they don't get as big as some of the other fish Capt. Larry often catches, snappers are some of the tastiest fish in the Gulf.  Joey Dale is pictured to the left with two nice American red snappers.  Joey was using sardines in about 150 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island. The party caught their limit of red snappers, beautiful scamp, a myriad of red grouper and more sharks than you can shake a stick at!


Bill Rolston, from Bradenton, got to tap into the MANGROVE MANIA too!  He's pictured below holding a delicious  mangrove snapper he caught using a sardine in about 100 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island.  It's not the first time Bill has been fishing with Capt. Larry; he enjoyed his last adventures so much he came back for more!  In this most recent trip, his party also caught more snapper, battled (and won) some serious amberjack, and a 120 lb spinner shark. 



Frank Ditzig from Cleveland, Ohio is shown below with a delightful red snapper he caught using a sardine in about 135 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island. Frank and party also caught a busload of large red grouper, more snappers and a few sharks.  It's safe to say a good time was had by all!



If your fall activities aren't as exciting as fighting fish that could end up on your skillet, maybe it's time to reevaluate how you're spending your time & make an allowance in your schedule to get out on the water with Capt. Larry.  A wise man once said, happiness can be found at the end of a fishing line.  Get your line in the water & catch something worth talking about on facebook!

Grouper Bonanza!

Though the heat is starting to dissipate as we get into autumn, the grouper action offshore of Anna Maria Island is really heating up!  Check out the picture of Austin Goncalves (from Bradenton), holding one of the many red grouper he caught that day while fishing with Capt. Larry.  Austin was using a sardine, a bait that the grouper seem more than a little partial to.  


Big things were poppin' on a different trip.  Brad Burton, Howard Merritt, Dan Rawls, Shannon Willis, Marc Todd (and not pictured in the team- Les Citko), a group from Tampa, FL are shown to the right with their catch of groupers [reds and gags], plus some mangrove snapper, lane snapper and vermilion snapper.  The party caught their limit of grouper early in the trip, and then went to work catching snapper, fought some mean amberjacks, sharks and goliath groupers to finish out the day.   They were fishing with live and cut bait out to 130 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island.


If that isn't enough to convince you about the serious grouper business awaiting you, perhaps this will:  here's Cayla Massy, from Cederville Michigan, with her first gag grouper!  She also caught it using a sardine, but in about 45 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island. Kayla and her family caught many more grouper and snapper while fishing with Capt. Larry.

Even though it's football season, there's still plenty of time for fishing & getting a piece of
the grouper action.  As you can see from the above photos, Capt. Larry doesn't mess around when it comes to grouper, and if you want someone to SHOW YOU THE FISH, he's the man to do it-  keep your lines tight & your hook baited!

Tuna Time!

What time is it kids?  IT'S TUNA TIME!  Fun fact: blackfin tuna are actually the smallest of the tuna species, but that doesn't make them any less delicious or exciting to catch.  To the left is Max Lawson & Hayden Wilson holding a big blackfin tuna, caught while using a pinfish on a flat line in about 145ft offshore Anna Maria Island.  The guys were down here for summer vacation from Tulsa, Oklahoma, celebrating their graduation from high school. The party also caught red snapper, red grouper, catch and release monster gag grouper, amberjacks, barracuda  blacktip and spinner sharks while fishing with Capt Larry.


Just because it's Tuna Time, doesn't mean there aren't other species to be pursued.  Below we see Sara Dale, a local from Anna Maria Island, with an angry red snapper she caught while using a sardine in about 150 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island. Sara and family caught their limit of tasty snappers, plus red grouper, scamps and sharks.

Another local, Richard Winston- of Bradenton, is shown below with the largest red grouper he's ever caught.  Richard was using a sardine, a favorite treat for many fish, in about 130 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island, when he hooked this monster.  The party had a great day, catching more grouper than what's pictured, amberjacks,  a few different kinds of snappers, & even some sharks (blacktip & spinners up to 6 ft)!  


So, if you're sick of tuna from a can, now is the time to go out there & get you some of the delight that is fresh fish.  However, if food isn't your first priority when it comes to fishing, there's some great action out there this time of year.  Offshore fishing is a rewarding hobby no matter how you look at it.  Book a trip with Capt. Larry today & liven up your recreational activities that's full of excitement & fresh air!

Mahi- Mahi are in town

Some people aren't huge fans of catching or eating mahi-mahi, because they see it as a type of dolphin, when in reality it's a dolphinfish (also widely known as "dorado"), and not even related to a Flipper-style dolphin.  Red Bailey, of the Lakewood Ranch Fishing Club, is shown to the left holding some of the school of mahi-mahi he caught using chunks of sardines, in about 150 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island.  

 Steve Miller, also with the Lakewood Ranch Fishing Club, holds his trophy red grouper below.  The Lakewood Ranch Fishing club has had adventures with Capt. Larry before, which you can read about here & here.  The club also caught large red grouper & some mangrove snapper.





Below is Jackie Nords, posing with a bull shark she caught offshore of Anna Maria Island, in about 100ft waters. Jackie is from Cincinnati, Ohio & is a student from Notre Dame.  She was here on summer vacation with friends catching amberjacks, grouper, snapper and more sharks while fishing with Capt Larry.  



This post just goes to show, there's quite a variety of fish out there to be caught, so whether you are down with the Mahi-Mahi being in town, maybe want to make a shark week of your own, or just want some tasty fish to throw on the grill, Capt. Larry can lead you to the promised land of better living through good fishing!

Vacation or Staycation... Fishing is where it's at!

As we ease into fall, Capt. Larry's charters are still enjoying the hot summer smoker kingfish.  Below we see Ken Bennett & Josh Brown (both from Bradenton), with their kingfish they caught offshore Anna Maria Island.  The big kings hit a free-lined sardine that was sitting the rod holder while they were catching their limit of grouper- as well as some snappers, and an 8 ft nurse shark. Every summer we usually hook up a few of these giant mackerel, but are usually more of a fall and spring break catch. Its a beautiful thing when the plan comes together!  




Cassidy Muller is shown below holding one of her FIRST groupers she's ever caught!  She was visiting from Caldwell, New Jersey, & it's safe to say the family had a great vacation while fishing with Capt. Larry.  This red grouper was caught using a sardine, in about 50 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island. 


When Mark Priede & his family were on vacation from Cincinnati, Ohio, with they caught a lively & varied group of fish while on their charter; bull sharks, grouper, snapper & quite a lot of amberjacks!  Mark is pictured with his first amberjack he caught while using a butterfly jig, in about 150 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island. 

 
Whether you're in the Tampa Bay area for a vacation or you live here year round, a fishing trip with Capt. Larry is the perfect way to enjoy the great outdoors with friends/family.  As it starts to cool down, there will more types of fish just aching for a hook to bite... It's up to you to make it your line that has that big fish on it!

Oooh Barracuda!

One of the fish Capt. Larry often gets asked about it is barracudas.  Perhaps because of their fearsome reputation, they are a source of interest for many people, whether they are from the local area or just visiting.  Ernie Sbaschik from Tampa, got to see this beast up close & personal when he caught  a barracuda recently on a trip with Capt. Larry.  

Before the barracuda was caught, it managed to eat three of their hooked groupers. Ernie and party were fishing in about 85 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island, and besides the toothy barracuda pictured above, they also caught many red and gag grouper, snapper and a feisty tiger shark that was carefully released. 






To the left is Capt. Larry holding two nice gag groupers caught using sardines in about 80 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island (photo by Bill Evans). On the same trip, they also wrangled more gag and red grouper, plus some miscellaneous snappers, sharks, and two smoker kingfish. The grouper bite was so hot Capt. Larry had to go back for more  after his charter ended! Now is the time to come on out and you get some of this sweet gag grouper action.

Putting the hockey sticks down & picking up the fishing pole

When they aren't on the ice playing hockey for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Kieth Aulie, Victor Hedman, Pierre-Cedric Labrie and Alex Killorn are fishing with Capt. Larry!  Here they are holding a 6 ft spinner they caught and released using a live blue runner.  


The team also caught & released some other impressive sharks including bull, blacktips and more spinners (like the one pictured above),  plus an abundance of amberjacks. Capt. Larry & the hockey players were fishing in about 120 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island, using a variety of large live baits, which clearly worked out pretty well.  

Have your own shark week celebration like they did & fish it up big with Capt. Larry.  Also, make sure you get your fill of gag grouper while the season is still open

Shark week may be over...

But that doesn't mean you can't still celebrate!  Capt. Larry has been celebrating by catching an amazing tiger shark while on a trip with Anthony Leverett from Anna Maria Island.  Here Anthony is below, with the baby tiger shark, which was carefully released so as to participate in shark week next year. Capt. Larry & Anthony had been catching grouper when the 4 ft baby tiger joined the party, hitting on a sardine. They were fishing in about 50 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island.  This is the 2nd tiger shark ever caught on Capt. Larry's boat in all the years he has been fishing, due to that kind of shark not being as common to the island.



Capt. Larry doesn't discriminate; just because it's shark week doesn't mean there aren't other stunning, hard fighting fish that need to be caught.  Brent Stubblefield is pictured below, with his first kingfish he caught on a flatlined sardine, in about 70 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island this week.  Brent & family are vacationing from Indianapolis, and also had the pleasure of catching a myriad of grouper, snapper and even hooked up another king while fishing with Capt. Larry. 

If your summer hasn't had the excitement you deserve, give Capt. Larry a call, & he'll ensure you have the fish biting on your line & a smile on your face from all of the sweet fishing action that's out there to be had.

Groupers Galore!


So much gargantuan grouper action on Capt. Larry's boat lately!  To the right is Susie Weaver from Atlanta, GA- with an assist by first mate & Capt. Anthony Leverett.  This beast was caught (& released) by using sardines as bait, in about 60 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island.  Susie & her party also caught many more gag & red grouper, which are also worthy of bragging rights, with shark & a few snapper thrown in to the menagerie.

Holding another gorgeous grouper, is 12 year old Katharine Kerrin (below) from Minneapolis, MN with her large red grouper she caught using a sardine in about 50 ft. offshore of Anna Maria Island.  Katharine caught the most & biggest grouper on the trip with her family.  


Proving that ladies catch just as much fish as guys, is Katharine's sister, Kelly Kerin is below holding a huge gag grouper she caught on the same trip.  All in all, the family caught & released about 20 nice gag groupers, kept some of the red grouper & snapper for the table.  There's certainly no shortage of good fishing out there for you!  




Instead of looking at pictures of other people having fun & fishing, be part of the action & get out on the water!  Remember, just because you might need to release your gag grouper, doesn't mean catching them isn't a blast in and of itself.  Book a charter with Capt. Larry & find out what a great time you can have with your family & friends... LIVE THE DREAM!

AmberJack of Hearts for Valentines Day

Did you have a great Valentines Day?  If not, perhaps a fishing trip is exactly what you need to feel better about your February... Make your own holiday- Fishing With Friends!  Below is Kim Brown from Standish, ME with the first amberjack she has ever caught.  Kim was using a live pinfish in about 150ft offshore of Anna Maria Island while fishing with Capt. Larry.  Her party also caught more amberjacks, & a variety of grouper and some snapper.



On another fantastic fishing trip, 8 year old Makenna Tennimon (below)caught a fish that up until now hasn't made a debut on the Show Me the Fish blog-- a bonnet head shark!  Makenna & her family are from Parrish & caught more than just the bonnet head shark she held like a barbie doll for the photo shoot.  After carefully releasing the shark, the family also scored many gag grouper that were also released to grow up & be caught another day!  Fortunately, despite the grouper being so large & plentiful that they can often scare away the snapper & other reef fish from feeding on the bait, the family managed to catch quite a few snappers. 




Showcasing another fish that was successfully caught & released is Jim Mallo below, holding a lovely gag grouper.  Jim was fishing with the Lakewood Ranch Fishing Club in about 125 ft offshore Anna Maria Island & to the delight of the party, they also caught & released more gag groupers, a Goliath grouper, as well as catching some red grouper & mangrove snapper for their fish fry.  

If you haven't made plans for Valentines Day dinner, a fish fry is always a win, especially with snapper!  More importantly, if you haven't got out on the water to enjoy some of the best fishing the Gulf Coast has to offer, you are missing out... Give Capt. Larry a call to schedule something up, whether for a belated Valentines couples trip (hey, fishing is more romantic than you'd think!) or make it a Guys' Day, with awesome times you'll be recalling for years!

Fantastic February Fishing

Awesome things are happening on Capt. Larry's fishing trips!  While on a 4 hr trip, Sydney Moerman caught a blackfin tuna, in about 50 ft waters offshore of Anna Maria Island.  Using a sardine, she got the big tuna's attention, and with lightning fast speed, he skyrocketed underneath the bait & jumped out of the water, startling everyone!  At first everyone thought it was a smoker kingfish putting on a show, but after a long fight & a little help, she boated the beautiful blackfin tuna.  Here 7 year old Syndey is below holding her great catch, with an assist from Bradley Moerman.  The family also caught a smattering of Spanish Mackerel & some kingfish during their trip.

The red grouper action has also been intense; below is Kari Hills, from Jackson, Tennessee, holding her first red grouper ever caught!  She caught it using a live pinfish, in about 60 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island while fishing with Capt. Larry.  After Kari caught it, she released it; just a reminder, red grouper season is closed Feb. 1st - Mar. 31st.  Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is a good place to look if you're ever in need of knowing whether or not your type/size of grouper is currently within regulation.


Below is another gorgeous grouper that was carefully vented & released alive- living happily ever after.  From left to right is Larry McGrudder & Capt. Anthony Leverett holding the ginormous Goliath grouper that Larry caught using a 60 lb test and a live pinfish offshore of Anna Maria Isalnd, in about 95 ft waters.


With all of these fierce fish being released, there's plenty out there to catch, so don't hesitate to get out there and fight some fish yourself.  It will get your heart pounding and your blood racing & be an experience you remember the rest of your life... book a charter with Capt. Larry today, he can make it happen!

The weather outside is frightful, but the fishing is so delightful

Cobia are here! They are certainly not bashful feeders, chowing down on food from the top to the bottom of the sea (hence why one of their names is "crabeater"), and on this trip, Larry Tinstra (left) caught a massive cobia while using pinfish.  He has been coming down every winter to stay on lovely Anna Maria Island for years, but this was the first time he'd seen or caught one of these monsters.  Mr. Tinstra also said that this was the largest fish he's ever caught!  


In other fishing excitement, mangrove snapper are where it's at!  Chumming has been bringing them around; they are wary fish- which is why they are harder to spearfish, as they aren't curious like other species of fish, and chumming seems to put them at ease.  Their wariness results in the mangrove snapper growing larger, which is certainly a good thing!  Below is Renee Robins with a monster mangrove snapper... she caught it using a live pinfish, in about 125 ft waters, offshore of Anna Maria Island.  Renee & her family also caught a plethora of gag & red grouper, barracuda, & shark while on their vacation fishing trip with Capt. Larry.  



When the cold winds blow from the north, a lot of the fish that swim closer to the surface migrate from places like Alabama to stay warm.  This is great news for us Florida Gulf fishers.   Take advantage of the weather to go out there & get you some of the action before it warms up!

Fish Like You Mean It

It's been busy with the holidays, but Capt. Larry has still found time to catch some fantastic fish. Pictured here is Capt. Larry with some tasty tripletails, caught right off the beach using shrimp with his first mate Capt. Anthony Leverett (of Kingdom Business Charters).
Have you got gags?  Just like milk, fish is good for you & helps growing kids stay healthy... with it being cold  & flu season, fish are a great source of protein.  The gag grouper Heather Harriman (from Denver, CO) & Capt. Larry are holding is still out there, waiting to be a meal, as it was released soon after catching!  This gag grouper was caught using pinfish, about 50 foot offshore of Anna Maria Island.


Sharks have by far the most interest from both charter fishers & readers of this blog.  While on vacation from  La Grange Park, Illinois, 10 year old Caleb Smith brought in a large blacktip shark.  Pictured below, he is proud with his catch, the perfect addition to the Smith family's vacation at the Tortuga Inn; posing with him is Susan, Caleb, Emily, Ty & Chris in the back.  


Catching a blacktip shark was what he wanted the most, after seeing his father Chris catch one a few days before.  His excitement came to life when he was using a live grunt, in about 45 ft waters offshore of Anna Maria Island.  The family also caught grouper, a variety of snapper, some Spanish mackerel, while fishing with Capt. Larry.  

If you haven't caught a shark yet, you're missing out on an awesome fight & some of the most delicious meat the Gulf of Mexico has to offer.  Caleb didn't catch all the sharks, though he tried!  Book a trip with Capt. Larry today & see what all of the fuss is about... you too can be one of the proud who can say they caught a shark.  Now is a great time to go out & fish like you mean it!

Bringing in the New Year with groupers!

Much grouper action has been happening with Capt. Larry & the Lakewood Ranch Fishing Club. To the left is Chuck Bismark (Bradenton), with Capt. Anthony Leverett assisting on a giant goliath grouper.  This beast was caught (and carefully released to fight another day) using sardines on an 80 lb test, about 125 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island.  The goliath grouper weighed approximately 130 lbs, which is actually considered small for this species, as many group up to 800 lbs locally.  The Lakewood Ranch Fishing Club also caught an immense amount of mangrove snapper, red grouper- some up to 20 lbs, released a few large gag groupers.  Below is Chuck Walker from Bradenton, holding his trophy-sized red grouper he caught using a sardine in about 125 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island. Some other impressive red grouper have been caught lately on Capt. Larry's charters.














Below is Paul Fourmier and Tim Bradey, from Clearwater, with their red grouper. They were using sardines, in about 130 ft offshore of Anna Maria Island. The party also caught more grouper and snapper had a fantastic day fishing.













Make 2013 a great year for fishing by going out on the trip of a lifetime with Capt. Larry or giving a gift certificate to someone who really enjoys a hardcore fishing experience they're sure to be talking about for a long time.  There's still plenty of grouper out there, just waiting for someone to come out & get 'em some!
