  • In this video, I met up with a subscriber to teach him how to catch grouper and snapper on the Skyway fishing pier. I met up with Richard and we discussed everything from tides, tackle, gear, and fishing techniques. We did struggle early on catching grouper baits but Richard did get a couple of hits before we transitioned to snapper and mackerel fishing. Even though it's HOT, the bite is good.
