I see your truck at cockroach all the time. Keep the videos coming. Thank you for being part of the clean-up down there. It would be nice if more people would pick up behind themselves.
Hey guys. I love the bait teaching aspect of your video. I'm trying to get a day or two to come over to the skyway and fish. This will be my first time there so this definitely helps me out where to catch the bait at. I know you said let it sink and sink some more but im always worried about snagging the bottom when I do that and not being able to get my net back. What kind of bottom is around that bridge? Thanks Ed
The south skyway fishing pier has a relatively clean sandy bottom around the bridge make sure you look over the side and throw between the pilings and you should be fine, thanks for watching.
Nice job guys! i used to fish cockroach bay many years ago and remember catching so many snook on the flats that my arms were sore for days! Now i mostly fish 10K islands, pretty cool also...
Finally! I’ve been trying to find this kind of vid for a while now and conveniently it’s where I fish too haha. I just have one question, would a 10 foot 1/4 inch mesh work?
Yes it will as long as the current is not running to hard, if the current is running really hard you may have to go to a 3/8 mesh to get it to sink faster or add about 20 feet of rope to your rope to allow the 1/4 inch to sink and if you see me out there and need any help or have any questions feel free to holler at me, thanks.
Hi Williams thanks for all you do 2 questions 1 do you always go to skyway for bait or do you do same thing at markers? 2. How do you keep your net from getting hung on bottom when letting it sink to bottom thanks again hope to see you soon would like to get out on some grouper fishing with you, do you guys do that inside Tampa bay?
Yes we do the same thing at the markers always on the up current side but there is plenty of bait on the flats now too.We do occasionally lose a net on the markers which is why I carry three lol. Yes we do inshore grouper check out our Facebook post tonight @william wise got a 32 inch gag today while tarpon fishing, thanks for your support!
I’ve got an 8ft 3/8 mesh 1.25 lbs per ft. Should I go to a 10 foot net or is the 8 footer alright for the depth? I’m used to only casting in shallow water. Thanks guys, great video
Great vid guys... I’m gonna be in Tampa Bay the week of June 5th. Insight is very much appreciated. I’m a bit of a cast net novice, so regularly throw a 6 ft net. Think that would get the job done? Thanks for any insight
Hey Danny Guarino’s nephew George again. In this case by the bridge how do you know there isn’t anything to get the net stuck on down there? I hate losing a net. Do you just know the spot well ? Or do you go off the depth finder?
I go off the depth finder but the majority of stuff to get hung on around the bridge is out away from the bridge I’ve noticed when I stay close to it or even under it I don’t get hung often!
@@badfishtv3813 how much would it cost to take me and my wife out in the bay for some grouper/snapper fishing? We like to clean and eat them so we want the keepers!
Once we find the bait we anchor up current letting out plenty of rope to make sure we hook and once your motor is turned off turn your wheel left or right and use the current to best position your boat between the pilings, thanks for watching !
@@badfishtv3813 I went and tried and tried today. Zippo. Finally caught 2 pinfish with a Sabiki. Any interest in purchasing my brand new Black Pearl castanet?
Yes there usually in the same area and if there not then ride up and down the edge of the bridge until you start marking them again on your depth finder but I usually find them close to the same area.
Thank you for subscribing and yes moving water is always better for catching bait because it disperses the chum further, it can be tough when theres no tide because the smell doesn’t travel as far.
When your bait well is not accessible and is under your seat and you can’t even pour a basket into it you do what you gotta do every boat is different but thanks for the tip!👍
I don’t have a lot of issues with the bottom around the Skyway if I get hung it’s usually on a pole. Watch your bottom machine and check for structure before you throw.
ive done artificial/fly my whole life. moved back home to trampa. are there any good pilchard areas near gandy/courtney campbell? i have a 17 ranger and the skyway never blows less than 10. i get raped out there

If you can throw a 10 comfortably I would definitely go with it but if that is a little much an 8 footer will get the job done too, thanks!
Great vid guys... I’m gonna be in Tampa Bay the week of June 5th. Insight is very much appreciated. I’m a bit of a cast net novice, so regularly throw a 6 ft net. Think that would get the job done? Thanks for any insight
Yes especially right now because the bait has moved shallow, we just put up a new bait video, check it out a 6 foot net will definitely get it done.
Good job guys!
Love a blacked out well- subbed to help your channel grow!
Thanks a lot brother!
Good work! Nice video!
Thanks buddy!
You are awesome I never heard anybody say he is my telephone number congratulations you are a true fisherman
I appreciate it, it’s all about everybody catching more fish.
Hey guess who's coming to dinner LOL
How close to the pier do you anchor your boat? do you try and throw the net between the pilings and let it sink under the bridge? thanks!
I usually get about 10 feet from the bridge and throw between the pilings and let the net sink under the bridge.
Great job guys keep it coming I got a question please where can I buy that Purina food Right here in Sarasota? thank you .Stay safe.
In Sarasota check with Ace hardware they usually carry it and if not find a feed store.
I’m gonna get a 6ft 3/8 and try it at skyway cuz I see so much bait all the time
You gotta get that mud (chum) the right consistency 🐟🐟🐟🐟
Do you always let bait drift towards structure or do you net on lee side sometimes?
On the side sometimes it just depends on where the bait is on the structure but definitely better to catch it on the side.
How do you know where the rock piles are to not get your cast net hung up on the bottom?
Trust your depth finder, there’s never a guarantee that your not gonna hang a net occasionally.

Nice layout, what manufacturers boat is that?
Parker 2300t bigbay
Good informative video. Thanks for posting. I have 2 questions. First, where do you buy the chum and do you have a cast net throwing video.
The chum can be bought at some Ace hardware’s or local feed stores and were in the process of making a cast net throwing video.
Are the old piers better than the skyway?
Yes we always find our bait around the old fishing piers
Still Learning 😃🎣🐟💯
Where can i get the chum you guys are using for catching baits. Thanks in advance.
Most Ace hardware’s have it and if they don’t check your local feed store the chum is called Purina tropical fish food.
Do you anchor in place? How do you maintain your spot once you've found the bait? Thanks! Great video.
Once we find the bait we anchor up current letting out plenty of rope to make sure we hook and once your motor is turned off turn your wheel left or right and use the current to best position your boat between the pilings, thanks for watching !
Is there still bait near the Skyway Bridge now in early Dec??
Yes the Skyway is loaded with bait!
@@badfishtv3813 I went and tried and tried today. Zippo. Finally caught 2 pinfish with a Sabiki. Any interest in purchasing my brand new Black Pearl castanet?
Are they usually in the same area on the bridge?
Yes there usually in the same area and if there not then ride up and down the edge of the bridge until you start marking them again on your depth finder but I usually find them close to the same area.
@@badfishtv3813 thx i'm still struggling to find them, but will keep on trying
Make sure your checking the up current side of the bridge that’s where they generally sit.
Add a subscribe. Is it better during a particular tide to cast?
Thank you for subscribing and yes moving water is always better for catching bait because it disperses the chum further, it can be tough when theres no tide because the smell doesn’t travel as far.
Tip #1- Always put the entire cast net in the bait well before release.
When your bait well is not accessible and is under your seat and you can’t even pour a basket into it you do what you gotta do every boat is different but thanks for the tip!👍
On the first clip were you guys in Tera cia??
That was cockroach bay in Ruskin.
Ohh
What type of chum do y’all use
We use Bait Buffet chum and Purina tropical fish food. The Bait Buffet chum comes in 3lb bags and the Purina comes in 50lb bags.
Is that cork as a deck surface?
No it’s called safe floor they’re in Ruskin fl.
@@badfishtv3813 Nice, it looks good. 👍
What about net getting caught in rocky bottom?
I don’t have a lot of issues with the bottom around the Skyway if I get hung it’s usually on a pole. Watch your bottom machine and check for structure before you throw.
Tampa Bay my home!
Me too. 3rd generation native
@@zoeyshoots then the US Navy said your going to California....
