[Motor Fish]

Hello everyone - my folks recently purchased a condo down in Bradenton, Florida and we're heading down next week for our first visit. Could use some help with area fishing.

I want to travel light and limit the fishing gear to what I'll need, but am not quite sure what that is... Most fishing will be done from the shore / piers and a little from boat. Most likely will spend 1 day out on a charter.

Does anyone know a good source of information for the area? Also looking for good restaurants/bars and other fun family activities.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
