Captain
Anthony Vingelli

Member since February 2020 Bradenton Beach, United States
Background
I was born and raised in Bradenton, FL. I grew up wading all over Sarasota and Tampa Bay. As soon as I was old enough to operate a boat I hit the water running!
Techniques
I love fishing nearshore. Anchoring up on one of our many nearshore wrecks and chumming for a variety of species is my go-to. Bottom fishing while free-lining live baits can cover more water and really increase your chance for a day of bent rods.
