Skyway Fishing Pier Grouper Secret - Top Tip 😱
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ค. 2019
- Here is a fine Skyway fishing pier grouper secret or a top fishing tip. I have showed you how to find the rock piles, the Deeper Sonar allows you to obtain the details. Why I like using the Deeper: You can pinpoint fish, structure new piles that might skirt the outside of your regular piles that don't get pressured as much. Not only that you have less line and leader to get hung up on. Free lining allows you to cover the most water while being extremely effective.

There is no way to avoid the dolphin..they eat my pinfish..my greenback...my shrimp....i am sure that if they could climb they would sneak into my car and eat my snacks too..i hate them very much
This comment had me 🤣😂🤣
Man spitting facts there.
those dolphins are so annoying
Dam...in the Keys its the sharks and in Tampa bay its the Dolphins...son of a diddley!
Its like gambling at the casino...
Living vicariously through you.
Great video , looking forward to fishing the skyway. Thanks.
Love these videos, good job Josh
Quick question what app where you using.
Another video on the Skyway, I have learned so much on the Skyway. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoy them.
Me too...😀
Sweet vid man i love the skyway vide
A good stiff rod is essential for lifting grouper out of cover. I use a Diawa rod called a Beefstick.
Enjoyed 👍🏾
All your videos are the very best !!!
Excellent video. Yeah, we want the grouper catching secrets for sure. Thanks for sharing your experience.
We should do a collab out at the pier.
@@Saltyscales Sounds good to me.
Nice , like the data on the app .. going to download now ... nice trout too
Good advice and good production.
I appreciate the positive comment.
Very informative. Great video as always 👍
Thanks Flubby 👍
Wow nice man!
Thanks great video Larry
Thanks Larry
Great video
Solid advice, I may never fish there again but the advice is solid. TY
Thanks, why wont you fish there again?
I am about to buy a boat so land fishing may be a thing of the past for me. Also, the skyway is a pretty good run South from where I live in Clearwater so I doubt I'll float down there either. Once in a while I'll race my daughter there and back on the Yamaha Waverunners from the Cortney Campbell causeway but that's about it lol
Beautiful fishing
Thanks
I’m new to your channel you guys are awesome keep up the videos
Welcome aboard, glad to have you.
Good video,thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome!
THANK YOU BUD TOR YOUR VIDEO HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AN YOURS!!!!!!!!❤
Happy new year!
Nothing like the grouper thump 🤙🏽
You're not lying.
Thank you
Love it, getrdunn.. love pier fishing but I would rather be out on the water.. yes sir 👍 👊
I prefer the boat but we like to mix it up.
Great video! Thanks! I love the Skyway but sucks that I live an hour and 40 minutes from it. I am due for a trip out there.
Thanks bud
Very good video.
Thanks Hector
Love the Skyway videos!
Thanks Timothy
@@Saltyscales I watch a bunch of different videos from mostly Florida saltwater fishing. And I'll go ahead and give this to you, I personally think you could be on the outdoor channel with your content. Keep up the good work, oh and throw some more cooking in with it. We all love to eat!
@@timothyleelife4664 I appreciate that, I haven't announced it yet but I am going to be doing something with Roku and Samsung. Stay tuned!
@@Saltyscales well congratulations it seems as though your hard work is paying off
What rod and reels do you use for Skyline Ridge
ALWAYS FIRST! Let’s get it! Solid video, brother 💯
Got it again, nice!
Almost like he has an inside track on when they are going to drop...
He SHOULD be getting stuff for his capts. License instead of watching videos, ya think?
@@dinoharrison5138 I think you are right Dino, he is slacking my friend.
Love my deeper Pro plus paired with my IPad Pro
Nifty little tool wouldn't you say? I was skeptical at first but I really enjoy using the product.
Nice grouper.
Thanks Maggie
Whats better for bait? Grunt or Pins and Knocker Rig or Free line for best chances. i've been trying both at skyway with no results. Any suggestions would be great. Thx
That is really cool! Awesome job on the video!
What happened KH you use to be my first post every time?
@@Saltyscales I need to get on it!😂
@@Saltyscales I got to get before chrisypoop
KH Fishing wowwwwww
A true fisherman! Your finger didn’t get anywhere near the map icon!😂😂😂😂
Fished there today and didnt catch anything but tiny pinfish but still alot of fun now addicted to go there!
Keep learning, checkout my pier Playlist
@@Saltyscales sure
Love me some Zmans.
Awesome grouper action. I learned some things. I gotta fish out there one day. 👍🏼🔥😎😁🐟!!
Have you never fished the piers Big O?
@@Saltyscales Believe it or not...no!
@@bigo8192 the kids would love it, highly recommend before they shut them down.
Josh I went fishing yesterday at my local pier and caught a 130 lb stingray on a slider rig with a steel leader, took like 10 mins to bring in.
That's a big ray. 👍
Joshua Taylor u should fly to Cali and we could fish together 🔥🤘❤️
Where u the one at the beginning of the pier with it laying on the ground ?
O Dawg what pier were u at?
Oh nvm u wasn’t at the skyway but I seen somebody catch a big one also
This reminds me about a video you posted a while ago. That was when I first subscribed to you channel. Thanks for sharing, Josh!
Glad you enjoyed it and you're welcome.
Hey man. Great video. Looking for some advice. I never been grouper fishing. All my rods are medium to medium/light power for inshore fishing. Looking for a recommendation for a spinning reel and rod to try some grouper fishing at the skyway
I personally don't recommend using spinning gear unless you have 30lb or more of drag.
Hey Josh, you look Really nice on a 65" TV. Well, at least your fish do...lol Nice video Buddy. Chris was in it and no major problems, hmmm, what gives? Take care and Be Well guys 👍👍👍
You know, I clean up well lmao. We can't record all of Chris's problems, we would need much more memory. 😂
Josh, I would bet that you have marked some of these spots on the railing or in the roadway, great content, peace ✌
Hey josh, just wondering do you prefer circle hooks to J hooks ? And have you ever caught any Bonita or king Mac off the pier? 😷.
Cool video, I go to the skyway all the time and need as many tips as i can get! Do you ever night fish the skyway?
Absolutely, mainly for cobia, snapper, tarpon, and goliaths.
Hey guys, how do you know which side to fish on (open water or bridge side) when taking the current, wind, and tide in consideration? Thanks for all y'all do
I’d go for open water
Either are fine, the dolphin know where you are 🐬😆😭
Thanks for sharing this. Do you buy your pin fish or catch them.
We catch them, checkout my last video.
Groupaaaaaa 🔥
Yes sir!!!
Hi there,
Wish bridge you suggest, south or north? Thank you
I prefer south, much larger .
I been wanting to check that bridge out
What’s your pole called and reeler ure using ??
I told my wife I was getting the deeper app and she got a big smile on her face ! 😏
Lol my wife the same 😏they just don’t understand
I wanna see tons more of skyway pier fishing and not sure was that the Southside? Or north pier? I've always been told to go to the south pier and always fish after the 2nd bathroom. Is that tru you think ? Or is the north pier better ???? Thanks again for all the videos
I used to fish them both equally, it really all depends on what you are fishing for, the season and if it's a weekday or weekend.
What equipment do you used ?
@daniel Cundiff you are the random winner for the Zman baits. Please email your shipping information to info@saltyscales.com. Thanks for participating everyone and stay tuned for more.
Joshua Taylor that's awesome brother,thank you!
Thanks for the video. I've been trying to find someone on TH-cam in the Tampa area who actually knows what they're doing. I've been to Skyway Bridge Pier a number of times now and been frustrated every time. Thanks for the tips. I will use them the next time I'm out there. Any particular time of day you'd recommend?
Avoid skyway on weekends, especially in the evening...it can get very crowded. I prefer dawn to noon
I don't normally go on the weekends and usually determine my visits based on the moon and tide phases.
@@Saltyscales hey what do you take into consideration as far as tide and moon phases? Like what do you usually look for that makes you wanna go?
hey joshua, i only catch and release and i never use live bait. i know... its just me. do people fish the skyway using anything artificial ? i hear alot about the gotchya lures but its seems kind of high to work it right
hahaha, and then i find your video on lures.
It's been a while since I've hit the skyway, man. This is a great video! I used cut pinfish to catch a redfish and a tarpon at my fishing spot last saturday. First time for both! Got the baby juvie tarpon first then the red maybe an hour or so, roughly, later. All under a popping cork. I had something attacking my bait, so i reeled in the bait, under a cajun thunder, and the tarpon came out of nowhere and smacked it. Was really fun until the line to the hook went. 20# seagar fluoro vs a 15 lb tarpon...ya... didn't work out too well. Love your vids, man. Keep up the good work! (ive only started just recently fishing for these fish, honestly. I have no boat and go where my truck and feet can take me. no yak either. not yet, anyways).
Sometimes you can find some really good fishing right from shore, the key is finding the spots that aren't hammered daily. Nice work on the tarpon and red. 👍
@@Saltyscales Yessir! The tarpon was a baby, but that thing really really fought hard. Cut pinfish under a cajun thunder...ya. that's my go-to rig now.
Quick question what type of Deeper do you have ? By the way great video
The Deeper Pro, checkout the link in the description. 👍
Where did you get this app and how is it used?
What kind of conventional reel are you using there? Thanks!
Saltist 40
What size line you using? Looks thick
Chris is on fire 🔥 with the first comment
true true!
A little slow on the trigger Tommy.
Josh. What do you have for line on that reel? Is that the only kind of rod and reel and line you want to use off the skyway? I want to get some gear together and ready to head there soon. Thanks for the video.
80lb Spiderwire braid, 80lb mono top shot 55 yards. You can use heavy spinners but you need the drag and torque to move the fish from structure quickly.
@@Saltyscales Thank you. Cant wait to get out there. I have been talking about it for over 2 years now since i have moved here. I need to make moves. Lol.
what is the rod/reel set-up you are using?
Daiwa Saltist with a St. Croix Triump rod.
Dude I need your help, how do you spot the rock piles and how do you know where to fish
Checkout my other Skyway video on how to locate rock piles.
it amazes me that a fish that small can pull so hard....
@ 3:11 in the lower left corner you can see the dolphin. pretty good size.. its really quick..
They are always around looking for a bait to steal.
What side you on and what kind of weight
if you hook a giant goliath grouper how do you unhook him from the pier?
What rod and reel is that
Were u able to get the bait out to that spot or was it out of your reach
We got all baits out on this day, nice tides.
Hey cap, I’m having a hard time finding the weather and tide reports on the skyway.
Check out the nautitide app on Google Play.
Download the FWC app, it's good and you can have your licence in it too
Which side were you on when you were catching the gag grouper? On the north or south?
South but both piers hold fish
Really? I fish on that side all the time, south is the best
Came from criss canning new sub here sick video I’d love to see what u think of my videos I need a processionals opinion haha
hey Joshua great video !! how do you deal with the dolphins taken your bait ? I have been here at the peer since Friday and nothing . the dolphins keep taken my bait
You have to either get it very far past them so they can't see the line or use white bait.
Do you fish mono or flouro leader
Both
That Deeper is pretty slick.
Gotta get me one of them...can’t catch fish where there’s no fish, right?
Find fish, catch fish. Simple as that.
You can do it the old school way but technology gives us an edge for sure.
How do you know where the rock piles relative to the pier instead of trying to locate them on Google maps?
Checkout my Skyway rock video I did many years ago.
Like it
Thanks for watching
where is the location of this pier because i hear people saying west pier and south pier and yesterday i went to skyway and it looked nothing like this pier.
Hey josh what’s the name of that app
Deeper Sonar, check the link in the description.
Chris told me 100lb test, was it mono?
80 to 100 mono top shot.
@@Saltyscales Is there a big difference between running mono vs braid? For my heavy setup, I have 100# power pro to 100# mono with a snap swivel (rated at 150#). Went deep sea fishing, used a thin wire circle hook. Big ass grouper straightened out the hook. Still have that hook in my truck, haha. The capt said before we left that we may not even see any grouper. Yea. Proved them wrong. It happened seconds as we were getting ready to go home. :/ bummer and a half.
Is deeper an app?
was using pinfish there one time and a big grouper popped my 30lb test.
Yea you have to beef up the gear for grouper.
I guess so. I'll try braid since there's no stretch
@@animetrash9110 Do not ever use braid for leader
@@rickhoover3944 I'll use 80lb test mono as a leader
What number was the spot you were fishing in ?
We don't give numbers on a public forum bud
Clearwater bridge use to be good to...the old broken bridge
Yes sir
Could of used this earlier today haha
Didn't have any luck?
Got rocked a couple times caught a nice sunburn
At least you made it out, my truck started misfiring right as I got on 275 from 41..... All that way to have to turn around and go home.
It's funny how different species of fish all have the same predatory habit. Those are the same places I'd look to find a bass in a lake
They really do, I think we over complicate how to find them. Water flow, food, cover and oxygen.
North or south part of the fishing Pier?
South pier in this video
I want to get out there on the southside with you Joshua LMK if we can make that happen. Hook 🪝 em and cook em!!
Yo i fish the skyway all the time
Nice 👍
I need more tips...all the time I go there I never catch nothing
Watch my pier Playlist. 👍
I'm surprised you tail hook the bait. I tend to nose hook, I'll try tail hooked next time.
Almost always tail hook them.
@@Saltyscales thanks brother, I appreciate the response. New sub. Bty, I live in Melbourne so the insight is much appreciated. I've managed to catch a few! :-) tight lines amigo.
@@scottmichael3745 I only nose hook green backs
@@woahtay3429 sweet! Thanks for the insight! I'm still learning (Chicago boy moved here a few years ago), saltwater is a different animal altogether! But I've caught a few! :-)
Every time I free line a bait out there it ends up getting picked off the hook by the dolphins haha, is there anything I can do about this?
Dolphins can make it very challenging. Get the bait out 80 yards, try whitebait and cut bait also.
Get some hot sauce that melts your face and inject it into bait. Once the dolphin snag a couple they will learn to leave your fishing area alone. I used to live in Pinellas Park and fish the skyway pier and hit rock piles off a boat along the beaches.I never use cut bait always live or lures.
Do yall ever hook dolphins?
No but they do steal a ton of baits.
This is north pier or south pier?
South
Well i guess i can toss in a random comment just to get you closer to the goal. I give the same comment here too but i left it over on Chrissy poo's channel. youll find it at the top if its still pinned there.
Thanks bud, the interaction helps the page.
I once reeled in a 300 pound groupie after a concert.
Lmao
North or South end?
South
