Captain Larry McGuire
 Fishing is great offshore of Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key.
We are catching lots of Gag and Red Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Yellow Tail Snapper, Big Amberjacks, Kingfish, Spanish Makeral, lots of Sharks, Barracudas, we even caught three nice Permit fishing for Snapper
. The best catch was last week end when Larry Bethke caught a four foot Redfish trolling a Gotcha Lure for Kingfish 40 foot offshore of Anna Maria Island. Live and cut bait is all working great. We are also trolling large Diving Lures, and catching Kingfish and Gag Grouper seven to twelve miles out. Going out past 100 foot has been hot for the larger Grouper and Amberjacks.
Tight lines and good fishing.

About Us!
Captain Larry McGuire is a native Floridian and has lived in Manatee County his whole life. He comes from a family of hard core fisherman. He started fishing at the early age of three, growing up fishing in the Tampa Bay, Manatee River, and on the flats in those areas. He first liked fishing for snook inshore in his younger years. Then later in life decided that off shore fishing was his real passion. He got hooked on fishing for Grouper, Snapper, and Amberjack. The extreme catches that really enticed him was catching Cobia, Kingfish, Permit, Black fin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sharks, Tarpon, and even the occasional Sailfish. He fishes offshore from Tampa Bay to the Florida Keys. Thinking like the fish, having the instinct of what is going on, knowing where the fish are, and how they are biting at that time of year is the key to a successful Charter captain
 Captain Larry is on the water constantly and says it is a must to try to the best of our ability to continually improve fishing techniques. "When fishing is tough, that is when I fish the best, making it happen for all my clients. I will make it happen when there seems to be no way! I love to help someone who is having difficulties, so that nobody out fishes someone else. I give specific instruction, all they have to do is take the information and use it, then they Show Me The Fish!"
Captain Larry takes out lots of families, women and children are very welcome, he helps the children, ladies, and men get their catch! If you are the type who wants to battle the biggest of the fish caught, he will get you on them. The captain is an avid photographer and sends catches to multiple media outlets. This means you could possibly get your fish, and picture in one of them. "If you don't have a picture of it - it must never have happened," says Larry.
Captain Larry has been a guest on the Reel Animal Fishing TV Show, with an outstanding Grouper catch with Captain Billy and Mike. They had all of the film footage for the show in a mere hour. His best fish story was the catch of an eight foot, three hundred pound Blue Marlin he caught 28 miles offshore of Anna Maria Island in 110 ft of water. With a leader touch using a live Bonita as bait that was caught on tape with the Game Fish Challenge TV show. That was an absolute a miracle, especially on a TV show; nobody would have believed it unless it was live on film, which it is!
 The captain writes weekly fishing reports for the Bradenton Herald, The Islander, The Anna Maria Sun, Saltwater Angler magazine, Rods and Guns magazine, Florida Outdoor Adventures, and FishOrShutUp.com. Captain Larry also calls in weekly to local radio shows, Reel Animals, Florida Sportsman, ANA banana fishing show telling them what's hot and what's not and shares his fishing tips and secrets.
Larry has the eagerness to help everyone to catch fish. He even has fishing seminars and clinics for boaters! He is affiliated with Boater's World, West Marine, Turner Marine, Florida Sportsman, St Pete Boat Show and many more.
"Fishing is my heritage, in my blood, I can't help it, and it's beyond my control! I remember fishing with my Grandma (yes that's correct, my Grandma) when I was four years old, she fished from sun up to sun down, at that age I did not have the kind of patience to endure. These days I have plenty of perseverance," says Captain McGuire.
Captain Larry has a reputation of being a patient, enthusiastic, hard working guide. He is also very extreme, intense and a hardcore fisherman. He considers Grouper fishing a full contact sport. He will go above and beyond to Show YOU The Fish!!!!!
