Destroyed By SKYWAY Grouper + Red Tide Ceviche

  • This video shows the true struggles when targeting grouper at the Sunshine Skyway fishing pier, but we manage a skyway catch and cook, or should I say a Red Tide ceviche. Menacing dolphins, break-offs, hang-ups, and weather. No one said it was easy, but the reward is great. I was able to try out my new Okuma Cavalla, which is a two-speed lever drag reel that boasts over 30lbs of drag. It is a true beast of a reel for its small stature. I used a 60lb Soft Steel leader and a 7/0 Gamagatsu hook. The goal was to go and catch a keeper grouper to make Skyway ceviche, sounds easy enough, right? It took two days and a switch in tactics to catch a fish for the ceviche, which ended up being a snapper. Red tide has all the bait scarce and definitely in a weird pattern, but the grouper and snapper are thick at the bridge.

    Well the fish were there but they kept taking your rig ! Go down to Walmart to the craft section over by the beads , they have what they call beading wire , it’s real thin multi strand stainless steel coated wire , it’s like a couple of bucks , it’s flexible you can tie it in a knot , this stuff is tough as nails , and a foot of it tied to your hook will keep the toothy critters from taking your rig , you can use more if your around the pilings , I tried to test it for tensile strength with a suit case scale and it maxed it out , give it a try , it could be a secret weapon ( well I guess it’s not a secret anymore😄 ) 👍🏼. Tight lines bro ! 🎣

    Recommendations on setup/where to purchase grouper rig? I've got 30 years experience fishing grassflats with light tackle, but want to start making more regular trips to the skyway. Don't own anything bigger than a Penn Battle 5000 on a MH Redbone.

    • @Saltyscales

      The trick is to let out line at the right speed so that there is enough slack to swim down but also feel the bait.

    Josh, can you please educate me on the use of J hooks for grouper and snapper? I was under the impression circle hooks were mandatory with natural bait.

    • @brandont3675
      @brandont3675 3 роки тому +1

      You use j hooks because you have to immediately set the hook on grouper if you use a circle hook you would have to give time for the grouper to swallow the bait and by the time you reel in they are already swam deep in the rocks or pilings

      Brandon, I'm referring to the FWC regulations on grouper and snapper. FWC mandates non-offset, non-stainless circle hooks when using natural bait to target reef fish such as grouper and snapper. I'm trying to find out if I have a misunderstanding of the FWC regulations. I was hoping that Josh has a better understanding, being a Captain and all. I'm truly looking to understand the regulations.
