There's a bait shop on the way out to Fort Desoto but I do not believe the bait shop sells live bait. I believe it's more of a souvenir shop from people coming back from Egmont key.

Thank you good videos btw

Maybe you have a newer model the scuppers go all the way through the hull and the supporting foam will not allow a paddle to go in.

Makes it more of a challenge.

That was only my 2nd time catching them on blue runners. This is the only place I've had success with them.

@@lifeadventure9229 there is an underwater vid of a snook eating a look down so now i believe anything.

What are you a Commie? Usually pretty good.

might take you up on that someday there's nothing like local knowledge

that's a little early for them on the pier in my opinion I would try and stay inside the bay the flats and some passes

Life Adventure thanks, I don't have a boat available I'm from europe. Hasn't to be Snook I will be happy with every fish I catch! can you maybe help me out with the species that are catchable in that time of the year?

+The European Angler early March is when things start heating up around here you can catch seatrout redfish flounder and Snook try and stay around the Gandy area St Petersburg or even East Beach at Fort Desoto there's plenty of spots to fish off sea walls try and stick the grass Flats the water will be warm enough to Wade a shrimp on a cork or jig or even at twitch bait should get you hooked up

Life Adventure thanks so much for the info! I will try my best! Tight lines!!!

thanks man just having fun

maybe I'll see you out there again sometime

a lot of places I go you're not allowed to have the motor and it's also a long haul to get the boat there and you're only allowed to use kayaks or canoes and personally I think aluminum's too noisy

Try putn a 150 ta 200 lb jon boat on a small creek😂😂😂

I actually make the rods myself if I find a blank I like I just Build It Up

it's good right now. going to try to head off the beach tomorrow in the kayak if weather allows.

Life Adventure ..u going off ft.desoto beach....or where abouts

Life Adventure may head out this weekend

Life Adventure you did well to hook up, I'll try the smaller jigs next time too. what were you throwing the video didn't show it too clearly
