Someone hooked a large tarpon there yesterday afternoon. One jump and the fish spooled his reel filled with 50 lb braid. He was fishing between the 1st and 2nd squares, facing North. Bait was a free-lined large grunt. He was on vacation from Indiana.
@@FishOnChannel I was in the water by the jetty last Friday and there were a lot of snook schooling in the area. Not big ones, but males around 3-4 lbs.
May I ask ; the high pitched whining as you reel in the fish..... My older reels don't sound like that & I'm just wondering if these newer reels are just so tight/the gears so precise that that's the sound as reel them in? And none of the fish thru the first 7 mins are really big enough to strip line so I don't think it's the drag? What is that sound, anyone know? peace & fun to see a "Fish On" ! peace
Yes, I used to have an assortment of different brands/sizes of reels - long ago, lol! I've noticed this high pitched sound in other videos as well but I'm just now asking you about it since I'm newly "subb'd up". I do think as newer metal alloys are created & the tolerances of the gears gets more precise, the reel makes its own sound as you turn the handle. It's almost like an, "audio fingerprint". I'm sorry to get sidetracked but the costs of a decent reel is not cheap as you very well know - that said, I'm asking before I buy anything & you are the man to ask ! Thanks for posting / peace
Hey buddy it's me Vinny really enjoyed this episode was really good specially when you fish at fort desoto it's so much fun fishing at fort desoto cuz you never know what you'll catch😊😊😊🎉
I’ve noticed catching snapper this year has been tough. Somehow I’ve been catching more grouper than snapper which doesn’t make sense to me. Not really sure what’s going on. Use to easily limit out on snapper year around just a couple years ago
Always a good video when you fish that pier. I was there in a boat first thing in the morning last week and there were huge Tarpon right there.
Yeah that's my favorite Pier, if you ever want to fish that pier Let me know my friend 😀💪
@@FishOnChannellet’s go fishing together there, but I’m not pro 😅
Hey Bush really enjoyed this episode I thought you did a wonderful job😊😊
I ve been watching your videos for a while now and have learned a lot about pier fishing, thanks for all your input, it helps a lot .
Appreciate you watching 😀💪

Lol...😂
when they jump youre suppose to move your pole down so it doesnt tangle right
When I have to use more than one lead on a rig - I just tape them together to avoid line twists. Just an idea since you mentioned it.
That is a good idea have to try that 😀💪
Great show , plenty of fish and enthusiasm!
Thank you appreciate your support

Every company make the reels sound different this is the sound picifun came up with.

In this pier I like both tides I like to fish an hour before high tied and an hour after😀💪
Fast reel on dolphin😂..nice bite out there ...when does grouper season open in Tampa?
@@Mlt..999 is going to be a short season only 2 weeks sometime in September
Can you catch bait there with sabiki rig ? Local shop to buy bait ?
Plenty of bait around the pier either sabiki or cast net

what mesh size is your cast net for those Mojarras?
3/8 5 to 8 ft should be fine
Is theire 18 wheeler parking there
Love your videos
Appreciate you watching 😀💪
What size weight and size hook do you like for snapper fishing? Mainly for cut bait
3/8 on the moving current, and just tiny split shot on slack tide.
@@FishOnChannel thanks, I like to cut up greenies for bait, any size hooks you recommend for snapper using that?
#1-2 j or 1/0 j that's all I use for Snapper
Nice work!
Thank you 💪
How long of a leader line do you use?
When I'm using Carolina rig 3-4fit

Just a regular bubbler from Walmart get the one with more hours keep your baits life for a while
I love the fact that you almost have "that pier to yourself"...That never happens on the East Coast of Florida! (LOL)
Haha weekdays are great, weekends not so much 😀💪,
Some days. But most days it seems like more fishermen than fish in Tampa Bay area.
So cool bro 😊😊😊

Always on the beach shallow waters 😀💪
