It’s that time of the year when the temperature is getting up there and nothing feels better than jumping into the Gulf of Mexico or your backyard pool. I have a three-year-old daughter, Olive, and since she started crawling, being around the water has been a little stressful as a parent. She loves the water [...]
A couple weeks ago, my family and I took our annual weekend trip to Homosassa. Last year, we went to “Homo” to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday and this year, we went for Carrie and Dave’s (my sister and her hubby’s) 34th and 44th birthday…yes, they share the same birthday, 10 years apart. So, we [...]
Before you catch a tarpon, you have to get the right bait, so with the tarpon season approaching, we were wondering, what is the best bait for tarpon and snook and how do you catch the bait? So, we asked one of our favorite fishing guys, Captain Mike Adams. Captain Mike has been a licensed [...]
For April, the water temperatures are certainly warm. On hot, sunny days, temperatures are topping out at 80-degrees, but hey, they were also doing that back in March. Fish in the Gulf of Mexico/Tampa Bay area are definitely loving the weather we’re having right now. Tarpon have been around now for three months or so, [...]
One of my favorite fish dishes is the Red Snapper Portuguese from Chef Ray Arpke at Euphemia Haye. I was lucky enough to participate in one of his cooking classes and thought I would share his recipe with you. Of course I have Chef Ray’s blessing and permission to do so. Also I should mention that [...]
Cedar Key feels like a forgotten little island where residents and visitors can disappear and enjoy the wildlife, stunning scenery and delicious food. This is “pre-Disney” Florida with no strip malls or stop lights. It’s just a quaint little fishing village where it’s OK to take life slow. So, put down your iPhone, stop updating [...]

If you are already lucky enough to own a Grady, or even if you are just a Grady admirer, this is an event you’ll not [...]
Call it madness. Call it craziness. Or just call it flat-out insanity. Spring Break seems to be hitting the Sarasota area really HARD this year. And why shouldn’t it? We have gorgeous beaches and the most perfect weather. So, I get it. Who wouldn’t want to be here now? But no matter how much spring [...]
This winter has certainly been an unusually warm one in the Tampa Bay area, but nobody’s complaining here. Record warm temperatures have made for ideal fishing conditions. So, how does this affect our fishing as spring approaches…and more importantly, where will the fish be hiding? This year, you’ll have to look for the more subtle [...]
We wanted to introduce you to our new person in Sales, Mike Adams! As a Captain, he brings a lot of great experience to Cannons and has some great stories to share. Originally, I was born in Oceanside, California. My parents moved here in the late 80′s. We bought a house on Anna Maria Island [...]
