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.

Snook, cobia, and sharks have been the fish to talk about these past couple weeks on the reefs. Chumming and freeling live baits on top of the water has produced the cobia and snook while fishing dead and live bait on the bottom has been catching the sharks. Snapper fishing has slowly been picking up and only expectes to get better as we get into summer. If youre looking to targer larger fish this is the time to go fishing!

Nearshore Shrimp Fishing Still Producing
Feb 29, 2024 Bradenton Beach
We set out at 7:30 am loaded with live shrimp and frozen bait for our nearshore trip. Seas were calm and we made it to the first area about 7 miles off the coast in about 20 minutes. The action didnt take long to fire off with lots of trriggerfish and throwback grouper coming over the rail. Looking to bring home fish for dinner we repositioned on the reef and dropped our baits back to the bottom. Almost instantly we were bringing up the same species but with legal mangrove snapper and sheepshead mixed in. We decided to stay where the action was and piece together a nice box. We weeded through the thrownbacks and managed a nice haul by the end of the trip. Staying on the same reef allowed us more time catching and less time riding. Mangrove snapper, sheepshead, key west grunts, triggerfish and hogfish are the targeted meat species for the next few weeks eith mackerel starting to show as the water warms
