As we head into November, many of Anna Maria Island’s anglers are waiting for the wind to stop blowing.
After experiencing one of the windiest Octobers in my recollection, many of my fellow anglers are ready for some calm days so they can venture into the Gulf of Mexico to search for migratory fish, like Spanish mackerel, bonito and especially kingfish.
Persistent winds prevent access to offshore migratory species
Josh Garfin of Bradenton shows off a nice yard-long cobia he caught Oct. 30 on a guided fishing trip with Capt. Johnny Mattay.
Capt. David White took advantage of the wind and “no fishing” weather at home and snuck off to Big Cypress Preserve on a “busman’s holiday” — fly fishing for juvenile tarpon. Both White and fiance Julie Bocox had good luck Oct. 29 using a Clouser variation. The fish were released.
