Here is a fine Skyway fishing pier grouper secret or a top fishing tip. I have showed you how to find the rock piles, the Deeper Sonar allows you to obtain the details. Why I like using the Deeper: You can pinpoint fish, structure new piles that might skirt the outside of your regular piles that don't get pressured as much. Not only that you have less line and leader to get hung up on. Free lining allows you to cover the most water while being extremely effective. If you enjoyed today's Skyway tackle tip, be sure to like, share and subscribe.

Dolphins can make it very challenging. Get the bait out 80 yards, try whitebait and cut bait also.

@davidmurray6176 2 года назад

Get some hot sauce that melts your face and inject it into bait. Once the dolphin snag a couple they will learn to leave your fishing area alone. I used to live in Pinellas Park and fish the skyway pier and hit rock piles off a boat along the beaches.I never use cut bait always live or lures.

@henryjacobsen733 3 года назад

Grouper fishing is not a light tackle sport , especially off the skyway. When the South Pier first opened you could count on catching a couple keeper Gags and some monster Mangroves if you went out with the proper tackle. 50-80 lb for gags, 20-40 for Mangroves. After about 2 - 3 months of people going out with 8lb spinning rigs,there was so much line tangled up in every thing it was hard to drag a fish out. It's you responsibility to not liter the area with mono line.

@Saltyscales 3 года назад

We use 80lb mainline and 80 to 100lb leader 👍
