I have been watching your channel for about 6 months, same amount of time that I have been interested in saltwater fishing, but this is the first time I have commented here. I appreciate the way you share information and conduct your channel. Your channel is one of my very favorite to watch so I just wanted to say thank you because I have learned so much here.
Yes this episode was good when you caught the little red grouper there are so cool lookingbut where you were fishing if you would go down a little bit more to the right side we were catching keeper size flounder we measure the biggest one was 18 in and the smallest one was thirteen and a half inch but that's nice to go fishing to get flounder and then we were getting a lot of little sea bass😊😊
It's pretty good that you're doing that good for fishing me and the whole family recently went fishing at the skyway we did pretty good we actually call a lot of Spanish mackerel and as a matter of fact every time we put on a pin fish we caught big flounder
The pinfish like you're catching was like the ones were using for bait when a 1 oz weighwe just couldn't believe the flounder that we were pulling up must have been at the right time but another guy was there to fishing saying that he was catching them last week also
I was out yesterday and almost lost my pole to one while using my sabiki trying catch fresh bait lol. Lucky I caught my pole with my sabiki when it went flipping off the pier lol and my friend fired a heavy spoon at my pole so we could pull the pole up lol. Some how still caught the grouper lol. Still worked up lol
@@FishOnChannel caught one on a 1oz spoon the second on green back. Both at 22 inches lol. Think I lost another cutting me off in the rocks. Mackerel we hitting pretty good in the early morning/morning. How's the out going tide in the afternoon?
Thank you. too windy that day in one of my setups I use 65 lb main line 80 lb leader 7 oz circle hook in the other one I have 80 lb main line 80 lb leader
Nice gag at the end. The only ones I've ever successfully landed were the size of that baby red grouper that you got which I caught by accident on a yellow feather jig I bought in the pier bait shop after I lost a different jig to the rocks while trying for mackerel. I'm curious do you strap your PVC pipe or are you jamming them onto the pipes that run horizontal? I usually try to use rachet straps so they don't move like that one did that almost cost you a rig. I do have to hook up with you so I can get better at catching those gags!
I couldn't believe the flounder we were catching on pinfish though so if you like catching flounder on an incoming tide use lye pinfish and the number one weight add 3-inch pinfish we were catching big flounder
Another awesome video. I’m heading your way Bradenton and staying for 10 days, plan on hitting fort desoto piers, Bradenton piers, skyway and Anna Maria piers. How has the fishing been, looking to get the kids rods bent Most of my rods are med to mh with 2500 size. I am looking for a slightly beefier setup I assume I would need. Do you recommend 3000-4000 size reel with a mh?
Action is been pretty good 2500 will be good for the kids catching some snappers or Spanish Max. But get something heavier for yourself if you want to do the skyway 5000 to 8000 on the heavy Rod will work grouper season is open tarpon bite is good.
I caught a gag grouper just dropping a live shrimp right down by the edge of the road. No throwing it out at all. Was definitely surprised by it, as I was going for some snapper.
@@FishOnChannel Next time I go, I'm going to try the pin fish method, as we usually catch a bunch of them anyways, to catch some keeper grouper. Great video!
@FISH ON CHANNEL I've only known it to be called a knocker rig normally you'd have a bead to protect the knock from the sliding sinker overtime it's rare but some of the sinkers will damage the knot if the sinker isn't perfectly hallowed where the hole is for it.
This is one video I WISH WAS NOT SHARED. I used to fish the sky bridge alot. I used to read the skyway pier fishing forum. What a bunch of unethical scum bags on that site ! Conservation is a good thing, a lot of the people fishing that bridge could care less if they harvest everything as long as they get some meat. So after my rant I will say I have had many more less than optimal days than productive days there, the numbers are just not there. And if your fishing grouper be prepared to feed the rocks! They eat alot of leaders and weights.
I don't follow fishing forums that much. Yeah fishing the skyway Pier you have to be prepared bring extra tackle hooks weights if you want to be successful catching grouper you have to deal with that 😄💪

Thank you that mean a lot to me appreciate you watching hope to see you out there one day 😄💪
I feel the exact same way. I have learned a lot here and I have also learned a lot from the team at Salt Strong.
Cool that you go fishing at the skyway😊
Then we also caught a couple big Jack's the one Jack we caught was about 20 in like the flounder were 18 in we had a good time
Great now is a good time to go to skyway 😀💪

We caught the pinfish over there they had a lot of bait just like the way you're catching your own😊
So awesome bro😊😊
Cool 😊
Nice job Bush glad you didn't lose that setup LOL!
Thank you my brother almost went overboard 😂😂
I admire your fishing spots, it's very potential with lots of fish
Thank you my friend 😄💪
That’s a great video, useful tips to target gags…thank you bush..
Thank you my friend I appreciate your 😄💪
The tide also was coming in wasn't too fast just moving right and it was also about two-thirty in the afternoon😊😊

Nice little gag at the end, hopefully by the end of next week we get some good fishing weather 💪🎣
Thank you yeah those storms keep moving in turning the bite off 😄💪

I'm telling you that grouper bite only when you're not paying attention they trick you 😄💪

Awesome video Fish On, Great catches, you making it seem easy to catch Grouper lol I know in fact it’s hard at skyway… good job 💪👍🎣
Thank you 😄💪
W fishing day
Great video! Awesome content as usual!
Thank you
Nice video - could not clearly hear your setup do to wind noise. What # test line and leader on the free line and other setup?
Thanks
Thank you. too windy that day in one of my setups I use 65 lb main line 80 lb leader 7 oz circle hook in the other one I have 80 lb main line 80 lb leader
Good stuff bushi
Thank you 😄💪
The sea bass for like 7 summon a 6-inch they were real small

Strapping them is a better idea because those pipes sometime don't hold tight. Pretty soon I'm going to start hunting for them again 😄💪
Was fishing right next to you saw you land that gag! Like a professional lol. Wanted to say hi but you looked busy catching fish lol.
Always come and say hi my friend. appreciate you guys 😄💪
I couldn't believe the flounder we were catching on pinfish though so if you like catching flounder on an incoming tide use lye pinfish and the number one weight add 3-inch pinfish we were catching big flounder

Awesome, thank you for replying and maybe we will run into you. Take care and thanks again
What's your line choice for grouper?
In between 60-80 that's all I use
Nice video.👍🎣
Thank you my friend 😄💪
Hello sir, another great fishing video.
Is it more effective to put two olive sinkers on the fishing line?
Putting a bead on the line is useless?
Thank you. I don't use them all Too much work dealing with them and you tangle a lot when you have them on.
🙋♂️👍👈
good video !! hey how are you doing did you get the car fixed ?
Thank you. Not yet waiting for the insurance
@@FishOnChannel
My friend was the one that dropped the kayak on the bridge .
@@FishOnChannel
How is your daughter doing
She's good she's my fishing partner lately have few videos coming up 😄
@@FishOnChannel awesome !! Like the videos I also fish there as well .
N8ce Video sir new friend nd herw..
Thank you 😄💪
Bushi let’s get on some ARS soon 😎
Forgot all about the season is open right now let's plan a day 😄💪
Nice Vid Bush. See any signs of Spanish Macs??
Thank you they were there but small.
Are you on the south pier or the north pier
The South
I caught a gag grouper just dropping a live shrimp right down by the edge of the road. No throwing it out at all. Was definitely surprised by it, as I was going for some snapper.
Nice Yeah I seen that before you do catch them near or under the pier as well 😄💪
@@FishOnChannel Next time I go, I'm going to try the pin fish method, as we usually catch a bunch of them anyways, to catch some keeper grouper. Great video!
We're on the south pire you fish at buddy
My favorite spot is around the bait shop.
Why do you have to reel the groupers in so fast like that? Will sharks go after it if not?
I'm worried more about the rocks as soon as you slow down they go for the rocks 😄💪
They go to the rocks. Gotta reel it in fast as you can otherwise bye-bye
Dolphin are more of a problem than sharks.
@@FishOnChannel
Ok, that makes sense. I thought you were just trying to be Mr Speedy or something!
I tossed out pinfish and dolphins just keep ripping them off
Yeah they're being pretty bad I wait till they go to the guy next to me then I cast 😄😄
How to videos will get you more subscribers. Guaranteed.
People like those how to videos you are right about that 😄💪
@@FishOnChannel People want to learn. There's a million channels where you could just watch the guy fish but he doesn't show you what he's doing.
Yeah see people call that a snapper rig but It's also a knocker rig style.
Different part of Florida I guess call it different names 😃
@FISH ON CHANNEL I've only known it to be called a knocker rig normally you'd have a bead to protect the knock from the sliding sinker overtime it's rare but some of the sinkers will damage the knot if the sinker isn't perfectly hallowed where the hole is for it.
Can't hear you over the wind my friend.
Sorry my friend the wind was horrible that day

If only you could use better mic. It sounds so far.
Nice video, poor audio
Lost 3 groupers today at skyway 💀💀
That's not good what time were they biting
Wind noise is terrible can’t even hear you
Sorry my friend I knew it was going to be pretty bad that strong wind brought a huge storm that I had to wait for 2 hours 😄
