Terry B with his permit

My husband took his out of town business associates out with Capt. Corey a couple of weeks ago and even in the bad weather they caught lots of fish- snapper, sheepshead, flounder a redfish and even a snook (too small to keep). A great day and now we have fresh fish in the freezer again!

First hoggish ever! Thanks for a lifetime memory

Chris fit right in with our group of laid back new comers to salt water fishing…read more Our group of 6 was set to go out 10 miles offshore, but the weather was bad and Chris advised that we could go, but no one would have fun with that much pitching up and down. We still had a great time in Sarasota Bay. The group caught about 10 fish per person (catch and release.) I knocked my beer overboard and he had everyone pull their lines up, repositioned the boat, and we picked the can out of the water lest it harm or pollute. That was classy. His boat was decked out with good fish finding equipment. As soon as he saw we were out of a sweet spot, he repositioned the boat and put us back on the fish. We cruised up to Dolphins hunting. At his low prices, and with his boat (fast and decked out) you're insane not to try him. Admittedly, he doesn't have a cabin cruiser type boat, but the point is to fish the waters, not crunch Cheetos in the air conditioning. When you have to pee, just pee off the back (sorry girls - actually, Chris would probably let girls pee off the back of the boat.) We didn't keep any fish, but the processing station back at the dock looked clean and I think Chris would process it for you, or the bait shop would... unsure. Ignore all of the above, and just have fun talking with him...

Super nice guy! Captain Chris is friendly, helpful and a pleasure to go out with. The first spot he…read moretook us to we instantly started pulling fish out of the water. While in retrospect I would have preferred paying a little bit extra for the deep sea fishing option, we all still had a blast fishing the the bay area and caught some fun fish in the process. The one caveat I'll mention is that Chris is a smoker. If cigarette smoke bothers you excessively, I'd say perhaps consider going elsewhere (and definitely asking the captain of any vessel you intend to charter if they're smokers, too). Also, you should probably pop a Dramamine before going out. Since its a smaller boat (27' or so), those waves can play a number on you. 12 hours later, and I still feel like I'm rocking back and forth...

I was in need of some serious Vitamin Sea to survive the Yule tide whatever, so I escaped to…read moreFlorida for Christmas. On Christmas Day, I headed to Bradenton Beach Pier, basking in the sunshine and breathing in that salty air. The best part was there was hardly any crowds. So parking was easy, stress was nonexistent, and peace and tranquillity were the vibes. The real locals were out in full force, the egrets, and other local birds were checking out the people strolling the pier or fishing. Not much was open because it was Christmas, I'm not added to the charm. It felt peaceful, unhurried, and exactly how I wanted my holiday to be. Spending Christmas here during the off-season was a five star reminder that sometimes quiet is the best gift.

In 1921, the Cortez Bridge was constructed, connecting the Village of Cortez to what was formerly…read morecalled Cortez Beach on Anna Maria Island. It was a somewhat shoddy wooden bridge that allowed the original Ford Model T to drive to and from the island. Prior to this, the only method of reaching the island was via boat, and Cortez Beach later became known as Bradenton Beach. A drawbridge was opened in 1967 which ended the use of the wooden Cortez Bridge. The side of the bridge in Cortez Village was removed, while the side in Bradenton Beach remained and was later transformed into the beautiful Bradenton beach pier you see today. This is a place that you can relax, see birds and marine life, boats, great sunrises, clear water, fish and just enjoy "Old Florida." Benches, swings, modern restrooms available with restaurants and shopping near by. Parking is very difficult to find so you might have to park at the beach and walk here during peak times.
