Thanks for the love.

What happened? Hope you didn't lose your camera.

@@kenbrannphotography its gone line snapped.

@@OriginalBernieBro Sorry, that sucks. I've lost 2 cameras since 2017. Did you move it along the bottom or was it straight down and back up? I always feel I decrease my risk by just going down and back up. I also don't get too close the the pylons.

Looks like a tarpon going by.

It would be. I'll have to try that. Just put the video in twice and mask the bottom with the lower speed video.

I appreciate the comment.

I've been told it is shrimp. I've looked at other ideas but that is the one that seems most likely.

Quite a few are seen every year

Thanks for watching

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment. Love the St Pete area. It has so much to do. I normally fish the Skyway or up in Tarpon Springs. Sometimes down in Fort Desoto Park. Thanks again for the comment.

I really appreciate the comment.

Good question. I think the average depth of the end of the south pier is about 20 feet. Tides can be anywhere from 3 feet or less I think. So I would assume the depth could range from about 18.5 feet to about 21.5 feet. The north pier is about 30 feet at the end with the same fluctuations. This is for normal tides. Storms will increase these variables.

@@kenbrannphotography Thank you Ken. I was guessing You'd have that knowledge and very informative channel indeed. I first fished in Hawaii at age 9-11 catching 2-3 foot hammerheads with just a rope that had a hook & sinker attached. I'd tossed it out like a real Texan should and brought them in bare handed. I lived & fished the OBX & Cape Hatteras 7+ years. And now here I am retired & disabled in Florida and Skyway Pier is my 1st destination Sir. Living on the Eastern shores and Chesapeake Bay I am familiar with the fish species migration seasons. Suggest me where that data might be located so I won't pack the wrong gear etc and can spool my reels accordingly? I'm very grateful for anything You can share such as, your fave bodies of water that's productive~! <*}}}}}><

@@davetrent8612 You'll find good spots all over the area. Even in some of the most unlikely locations. I really like the South Skyway pier. I also flyfish in Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs for Red Fish and Trout. And if it's stormy I like Fort Desoto Park. As far as references, I use a Kindle version of Marine Fishes of Florida by David B. Snyder and George H. Burgess. I am sure there are others but I find this to be very complete. The Florida Fish and Game site is also very good. And the Skyway Proboards are indispensable. skywaypiers.proboards.com/

I grew up in Tarpon Springs and graduated from Tarpon Springs HS in 1988. Sounds like we lived a parallel life. I still work for the military but I go back as often as I can.

Such a beautiful world.

Do you ever eat them? I think they dry them in Asia. They don't look like they'd have much meat.

@@kenbrannphotography no I’ve never eaten them

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it. I'll have to go check the piers out again. When I've been out before it was hard to see due to the sand being kicked around in the tide. Need to hit it at slack tide.

Its so cool to get a look under the surface, thanks again!@@kenbrannphotography

Can't seem to find the area you are talking about looking at the map. Will be going there in a few weeks. I know around the Gulf side by the pier there is snorkeling but would like to find this bridge you are talking about.

@@ndzimmer I believe you have to turn down a service road to get to this small bridge. When coming into the park take a left at THE flag and them take the next left as well. The small little overpass is where I think he got this footage.

This was off the bridge that is on Key Royale Road.

It's at 4:32

There are usually pinfish about. Just depends on which bridge pylon you're near. Sheepshead are pretty ubiquitous in Tampa Bay and surrounding areas. They are almost everywhere where you find structure. Not that they are always there. But if you see any fish it is almost guaranteed some of those will be sheepshead.

@@kenbrannphotography That's great to know, thanks for your insight.
