Life Adventure thanks, I don't have a boat available I'm from europe. Hasn't to be Snook I will be happy with every fish I catch! can you maybe help me out with the species that are catchable in that time of the year?
+The European Angler early March is when things start heating up around here you can catch seatrout redfish flounder and Snook try and stay around the Gandy area St Petersburg or even East Beach at Fort Desoto there's plenty of spots to fish off sea walls try and stick the grass Flats the water will be warm enough to Wade a shrimp on a cork or jig or even at twitch bait should get you hooked up
I was at that pier at the end with the rocks a couple of weeks ago and watched a guy fight a huge tarpon for about 30 minutes before it went under the dock and snapped off the line against the cement. It was heart breaking. Everyone on that pier was rooting for him. I also saw a manatee the size of a jon boat swim by those rocks. It was the biggest I've seen since moving down here.
the rig I use when I'm using live bait 40 pound piece of fluorocarbon at least 6 foot and I like the owner octopus hooks size of hook depends on the bait 4 / 0 for small mullet number twos for greenbacks
15 - 20 pound fluorocarbon free line or very small split shot next to the hook usually a number 2 Chum some cut greenbacks I usually use scissors then there's fish tacos for everyone
...do you use a bridge net?..and why sling tthe back in the water and over the rail? If you did have a 40 inch plus fish..would you do the same?.. #respecthefishbro
I only use a bridge net if it's absolutely necessary wipe the Slime and tears up the side of the fish all the bridges I fish you can walk them down and get them on the bank at this particular Pier you got to be careful you can't let the fish go slow you got to make sure he gets down to the bottom of the flippers will get them
a tackle shop in the flea market bought out another tackle shop going out of business and they had a bunch of blanks in a barrel I just bought all the ones I liked I couldn't tell you the name brand
I love fort desoto! Keep fishing there and I'll keep watching!
one of my favorite places to fish there's just so many options
I'm heading down there June 6th for work. Planning on bringing some gear for exactly this.
June's a great time to be there. good luck!
You usually see mullet along those rocks or down the beach?
Was There A Few Weeks Ago Tons Of Greenbacks And Dolphins Swarming
Was this the gulf or bay luer
Hey, nice video how's the fishing here early March? I'm there on vacation and want to try to catch something! maybe you can help me out!
that's a little early for them on the pier in my opinion I would try and stay inside the bay the flats and some passes

Life Adventure thanks so much for the info! I will try my best! Tight lines!!!
Have you ever caught bonitas off either of the piers?
no I have never caught Bonitas on either Pier
It's amazing how no one was there in the beginning of the vid. Catch one fish and somehow everyone hears about it. Great vid:)
everyone wants to catch a snook I don't blame them
Ive seen some massive reds and snook pulled out of the little rock jetty there!
do they sell hoop nets anywere looks like it would help ur good snook fisherman, nice reel was it a 5000 stradic fk?
6000 Saragosa I was using a 4000 FK on my bait rod

cool manatees are out there a lot that's good to see someone actually was able to hook up with the tarpon the porpoises love to eat the live bait
Also what type of rig did u use for the snook?
the rig I use when I'm using live bait 40 pound piece of fluorocarbon at least 6 foot and I like the owner octopus hooks size of hook depends on the bait 4 / 0 for small mullet number twos for greenbacks
When was this? Great catches!
great video!
thanks
do they have to be out there cruising like that to catch them or could they be under the bridge?
most of the time they are under the Pier
yes you can catch them when they're under the pier
Nice Video! What rod and what size Gosa were you using?
Thanks. it's a custom rod on a blank I had laying around with Fuji's K guides not sure of the manufacture of the blank. 6000 Saragosa
How do you think the fishing would be there near the end of may? Great video by the way.
What are you a Commie? Usually pretty good.
Do u have any advice on mangrove snapper fishing in Fort Desoto? Keep making great vids just subscribed Thank u
15 - 20 pound fluorocarbon free line or very small split shot next to the hook usually a number 2 Chum some cut greenbacks I usually use scissors then there's fish tacos for everyone
Lots of mangroves off of that small jetty and the bridges around there. Liek Adventurer said, Greenbacks and split shots are key
Adrian Duque small circle hook and small pieces of shrimp tail,not whole shrimp
