BRADENTON -- It's all about the night fishing this weekend! The increasingly hot water temperatures are making fishing during the day a seemingly impossible task, but with the new moon approaching this weekend, anglers should have great success going out at night. The Discovery Channel's Shark Week is still going on and diehards making their annual pilgrimage to the Florida Keys are successfully catching lobster left and right!
