Don’t think it was a sail but Sail cats are actually better than freshwater catfish because they aren’t bottom feeders. If you haven’t tried it , you really should
Try your luck over at 4th street bridge on st. Pete side of the Howard Franklin. Even better would be under the little bridge that exits off to ulmerton rd. Take westbound 275 over the Howard Franklin Bridge. Second exit you come to is ulmerton rd, take the exit as soon as you starting to get of you cross a small bridge. Excellent place for big snook especially at night using ladyfish for bait. Concentrate on the shadow line under the bridge. Good luck and tight lines 👍🎣
Heck yeah man that’s great info right there! Let me know next time you’re going out & maybe we can link up so I can sponge all your salt fishing knowledge!!
Even though the catfish barb is serious if gets you, STILL you don’t just cut the line like that!?!?! Carry a heavy pair of leather gloves & get that lure, hook etc out of the poor fish. What kind of angler are you? That’s not being a responsible one. Hey, I’m just a Florida native…Be a conservationist as well
Hey thanks for your concern buddy, but I am a huge conservationist! If I can get a hook out obviously I’m going to get it out, but if by me getting it out the fishes throat is going to get ripped apart and it’s going to bleed to death, then I’m not going to rip the hook out and at least give it a chance. Thanks for your support though! Stay hooked!!
Catfish in and around Tampa are a nuisance fish. They are cockroach around here. You typically want to leave if you start catching them. Ud rather not catch anything at all. Its part of the "TRASH CAN SLAM".
That’s what I’ve heard! I moved away from Florida so I haven’t done much salt water fishing for a while, but man do I wanna catch some big snook & reds!!
Dude I've been looking for a crabbing spot around Pinellas (live in largo area) and just about every spot I try is tapped out. Thank you for showing this spot.. now where do you park?
This is honestly one of the best comments I’ve ever got! Seriously thank you! Obviously I’d love to make this into a career & be able to fish for a living, but I can’t think of anything I want more than to inspire others & help grow the sport!!
Lolll nah man I was absolutely fishing for giants, just didn’t catch anything. Obviously not gonna waste the day/footage or the chance to share the spot with others!
@@HookedOnBassin lol man im just bustin your balls. I live in Clearwater. Ive had a lot of success at that spot fishing for speckled trout. very good eating. The catfish are a nuisance
@@Jake_Cook not gonna give it out. But can name few locations. Ft Desoto, Terra Verde, blinds pass, johns pass, but best bet is Google map to scout out the area. Even skyway are good not the pier wise. But what will be helpful is to use jig more often even artificial will help you to cover the ground more
This is the kinda info I need to be getting!! I just moved down here from Ohio and definitely don’t know much about saltwater so I appreciate it! Let me know if you wanna meet up sometime and you can show me the ropes!
@@HookedOnBassin i would love too but I just moved up to Citrus County in February but still come down and visit occasionally. Use zman minnowz with 1/6 to 1/4 oz ttlockz jig head make sure you put super glue on it so it won't slip. Plus get procure manhaden on it also mirrodine xl will work too down there. But if you are fishing on top of the bridge use docs goofy pompano jig yellow color with pink teaser, or spro buck tail jigs or vertical jig will works. Night time is the best bet but day time is good too. Also oyster bed under baypine friendship trail is good it only accessible during low tide be sure wear old boot or waders due to alot of oysters just park by target by the trail then walk all the way to bridge then go under and walk to the end of oyster bed there will be a little inlet. I've caught big jacks, snook, reds, trout and flounder there it a very good beginner spot
Loll that’s fine man. Some people will always be whiny and want something to be upset about. I’ll just do me & help grow the sport of fishing any way I can!
Hi, I'm a Tampa local and have fished by here. Nice video, just my two cents: You should consider trying to remove the fish hook inside their mouth if they are not gut hooked. For catfish it's pretty easy with a tool.
Pretty sure I’d I had something to remove it I would’ve! Loll plus thats a junk bait fish who cares. Rather leave it than jack up their throat & kill them anyways🤷🏻♂️
Fist bumping on catfish 😂
Yeah man! Happy to be catching something!
@@HookedOnBassin no man. Never be happy about catfish bro lmao.
Hahah they are super annoying but better than getting skunked I guess loll
Don’t think it was a sail but Sail cats are actually better than freshwater catfish because they aren’t bottom feeders. If you haven’t tried it , you really should
I wish we would’ve cooked some up that day, but they didn’t really have much of any meat loll
Thats catfish heaven
Yeah or hell depending on how annoyed you get by them hahah

Hahah the trash can slam?! I haven’t heard of that, but that’s hilarious! I’m assuming ladyfish are part of that?!
@@HookedOnBassin Yep, Catfish suuckk! Lady fish are great bait if you cut them up. Big snook love em and reds.
That’s what I’ve heard! I moved away from Florida so I haven’t done much salt water fishing for a while, but man do I wanna catch some big snook & reds!!
Why did you guys cut the line on those catfish?
They had both swallowed the whole hook unfortunately!
Bro Weedon Island if you have a kayak. Theres plenty of great fish over there
I would love to check that out & I am getting a kayak soon!! 👀👀
Dude I've been looking for a crabbing spot around Pinellas (live in largo area) and just about every spot I try is tapped out. Thank you for showing this spot.. now where do you park?
Heck yeah glad I could help! A little further down the causeway are a couple different pull offs on both sides!!
Hey bud I have a good crabbing spot. I've been looking for someone to crab with. If interested hit me up.
Hit the skyway at night for crabs
My man's Levi out here getting famous now 😭😭
He’s definitely gonna be in a lot more videos with me!!
Is this on the Tampa side or St Pete side? Do you have a preference?
This was the Tampa side, but I haven’t fished there enough to know if one’s better than the other! Sorry, wish I could help more!
Great vid!
Thanks man, I appreciate it a lot!
You guys were on fire with the catfish.
Yeah they actually get annoying there’s so many hahah
Are you guys parking down at Ben T Davis parking and walking over there?
No we just pulled off and parked on the other side at the first entrance point to those side roads.
how do i get there just moved to the temple terrace area looking for any spots nearby to fish
I’m terrible with road names lol just google Courtney Campbell Causeway and it should take you straight there
Try fort DeSoto. Good fishing two piers. You can Google how to get there.
@rreevesb3 not the first time I’ve had someone tell tell me about desoto! I’ll have to check it out
Why are you leaving the hook in the catfish’s mouth?
If they swallow it and it’s lodged in their throat it’s just gonna kill them from rippin it out so might as well leave it & give them a chance!! 🤷🏻♂️
The bigger the bait the bigger the fish
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
That’s what I’ve been hearing!! Hahah I need to get back out there!
Love the video this is inspiration for me!
This is honestly one of the best comments I’ve ever got! Seriously thank you! Obviously I’d love to make this into a career & be able to fish for a living, but I can’t think of anything I want more than to inspire others & help grow the sport!!
I caught a missing child in Clearwater with a rod and reel
🤣🤣🤣 what a hero!!!
Well did you keep it or throw it back ? I heard parents love those things
🤣🤣
Frikkin GIANTS🐳 BRO
ONLY this biggest around here baby!! Loll 😜🤦🏼♂️
Let’s collab man I also live in Tampa
I would love to man! I don’t live down there anymore, but next time I visit let’s definitely get together!!
I recognized the spot, I’m going there Saturday lol
How’d you do?? Better than we did I hope!
@@HookedOnBassin no bite, water was low and cold and dirty
That’s a bummer man. I wanna get a kayak up near there by all those houses & docks!!
@@HookedOnBassin looks so good, I look across the sea and see it
Might have to try to sneak back there one of these days hahah
Yo Levi💚
We’re definitely gonna be doing a lot more fishing videos!!
Are you craisy?.libwrar el pescado con todo el azuelo en la boca.
Are you crazzy?! Get that corn outta my faceeee
Catfish and Ladyfish lmao
It was a tough day no doubt, but better than work!
Should have kept the Ladyfish.... cut up for bait....better than Shrimp......
This is the kinda stuff I need to be learning! Hell yeah man thank you. So cut ladyfish good for reds/snook/trout?
@@HookedOnBassin ehh more of sharks and catfish at that spot. But snook will hit it so will redfish
Heck yeah man that’s some good knowledge! Thank you, I’ll definitely give that a shot next time!
@@HookedOnBassin yes especially good for snook
Nice!! I still need to get my hands on a big snook!!
That place is full of catfish
I know tell me about it!! & damn ladyfish! 🤦🏼♂️🤣
Yo I got a couple spot around there that are loaded with good fish. Hit me up and we can go get them
Definitely!! I found a couple good looking spots downtown the other day, but I haven’t fished them yet!
Man, you can’t park there without being told off.
What do you mean like other people getting mad a fishermen??
U should include the number of casts between fish.. so it's more realistic
So the fish we caught on this video were basically all back to back to back!!
Excellent click bait 😂😂🚮
Lolll nah man I was absolutely fishing for giants, just didn’t catch anything. Obviously not gonna waste the day/footage or the chance to share the spot with others!
Music blows
Dude thank you for the support! 💪🏻
hahah alllll trash fish!!
Tell me about it 🤦🏼♂️ hahah I NEEEED some big snook tarpon or reds in my life badddd!!
@@HookedOnBassin lol man im just bustin your balls. I live in Clearwater. Ive had a lot of success at that spot fishing for speckled trout. very good eating. The catfish are a nuisance
Hahah yessss those catfish SUCK lol what are you using for bait for the trout just shrimp?
That spot is decent. Not one of the best in Tampa Bay area
what are some better spots

@@HookedOnBassin hint. Ft Desoto. Look for a lagoon by the piers. It one of the best spot and one of my spot. Google map will show it
I understand you just moved here but your not going to make many friends in the community showing spots like this
Loll that’s fine man. Some people will always be whiny and want something to be upset about. I’ll just do me & help grow the sport of fishing any way I can!
Allen’s creek. Hwy 19 near Bellaire
What’s this? Another good spot?
@@HookedOnBassin I built that bridge there at Belair and Whitney and 19 at 60 I can send you pictures
Oh wow that’s pretty awesome!! When do that go up?
Hi, I'm a Tampa local and have fished by here. Nice video, just my two cents: You should consider trying to remove the fish hook inside their mouth if they are not gut hooked. For catfish it's pretty easy with a tool.
Yeah I definitely try to get it out if it’s not too deep! It honestly kinda hurts my soul to have to throw one back with a hook still in it!! 😬
@@HookedOnBassin Carry the right gear
Went to that spot today and tore them up 🫡
Hell yeah!! What all did you catch?!
Got nice size lady fish and a bonnet head shark then walked down under the bridge and got some good ole stone crab claws
Yes the water was cold walking in 😂
That’s awesome!! Hahah nice catches man. I need to get back out there!
Try using forceps and REMOVING the hook
Pretty sure I’d I had something to remove it I would’ve! Loll plus thats a junk bait fish who cares. Rather leave it than jack up their throat & kill them anyways🤷🏻♂️
