Mar Vista at the north end. Great on the water views. Nice outside patio seating if the weather is nice
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley

I'm not sure but I bet that you could pick up a snook or two fishing beach at night or early morning.krash wrote:Guys, no I don;t want your fishing spots....

New pass bait shop, end of longboat, has great cheeseburgers. St Armand's has lots of food options but pretty pricey.
You can fish quick point park for shore fishing or wading. Also nice wading bay side up at Durante park.

Re: Longboat Key
Fishing the beach you should be able to catch some snook, lady fish and jackets.
There are lots of food options. One company owns 3 restaurants up there; the Sandbar up at the end of Anna Maria, The Beachhouse on Bradenton Beach and Mar Vista which Rik mentioned. The first two are right on the beach and the third is on the bay. All are great places with great views. They are somewhere between moderat and high priced. Here is a link to the company that owns them. I think you can get the menues there.

Another good option is a place called Cha Cha Coconuts on St. Armand's Circle. Sit at a sidewalk table and watch the world go by. Great people watching and reasonably priced. I have only had lunch there.
Enjoy and if you do get to kayak fish, Buttonwood on Longboat is a great place to try.

Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.

Quick coffee and donut or trailmix in the morning then hit the snook.
First stop is the pass between North Longboat and Bradenten Beach. You can fish the south side of that pass and the north side. then you can continue around along the Gulf shore. The locals seem to like soft plastics on 1/4 oz or more jig head.
Eat well and catch a snook.

Be thankful for every day and especially those fine days on the water
