{%image_id=32247%}Wind, wind and more wind! I think I have had maybe four days this month where it was not blowing more than fifteen knots or better. I can fish most days depending on which direction the wind is coming from. The only direction from my location on Anna Maria Island that truly messes things up is a do north wind.{%image_id=32248%} Fishing between the fronts has really been good. Just about everything with fins is on the feed even with lower than usual temperatures. On the colder mornings I start the day going for sheepshead and redfish around structure.{%image_id=32246%} As the day warms up you will find the Fishy Business on the deeper flats going for trout, pompano, bluefish and mackerel.{%image_id=32244%}{%image_id=32243%} The warmer days we have done well on catch and release snook as well as redfish up on the oyster bars and shallow flats. {%image_id=32245%} I have heard rumors of kingfish on the nearshore reefs but have not had a chance to get out there yet to confirm. Hopefully in the next couple of days the weather will give me a break to find out. Thank You & Good Fishing! Capt. Rick Gross
