Thank you for showing us the pier I plan on going there Saturday. What size hook are you using for the snapper?. What size split shot are you using. Again, thank you for your help
@@Thonny Yes it's really beautiful there. We'll be coming back in mid July maybe you'll be fishing close by. My husband and I would love to watch you fish❤
🌴 it’s da monster ! 👍🏼👊🏼. Yea I’ll bet if you soaked a big grunt off the end of the bay pier you’ll get a hook up , but you gotta get the right tide , gotta try S . skyway pier again , it’s always a mystery over there , they got pier monsters there ,😆 , that’s one nice mango bud , 👊🏼
I went out for two hours, one evening last week, and managed and insurance lamb, plus a couple of nice snapper. It was a great evening. It made a pretty good video also. Lol.
I just back from fishing myself. Clam Bayou in Gulf port. Didn’t do great. Caught a 12 inch red drum. Caught 2 yesterday. One was 17 inches just shy of a keeper. Did see the manatees😁. Going to try another spot the next couple days.
thonny, I got a 29" gag off my secret bridge last weekend brother. pb for that spot. previous best was 28" and the crazy thing was a got about a 5 pound sheep head fishing with a big pinfish. hooked in the mouth so it was tryin to eat it brother.
Do you see that 28 1/2” speckled trout in my profile picture? Got that at fort desoto east beach in 2010 on a top water on a super foggy morning in the winter brother. Still looking for that elusive 30” trout.
Nice mang. Caught a 20 incher on the skyway couple weeks ago and I haven’t caught any bigger than 14 inches before so I was in disbelief. I got him on a flair hawk of all things. Craziest catch ever. I thought it was a grouper too. Hope to see you one day 🫡
Great video Thonny 👍 I was fishing the John’s Pass area in June and again in August for the mangrove’s. Is it just me or have you guys been catching bigger ones in September?
I caught my biggest and best ever fight ever at the Gulf side ft DeSoto. 60+ pound hammerhead on spinning reel and rod combo with only 15 pound mono!! 25 lb mono leader!! Yep that's right trilene mono! Took me down to a foot of line before being spooled and grabbed the rod and line near tip and thought for sure it would snap but I got it to turn ! I thought it was a big ray the way it just straight pulled all the way and is what I was catching on out going tide there . Anyway got it to turn and would get a little line back then it would take it back and we played that game for a few minutes . Then I started to get some gain on him . Started getting closer to pier and it started to dive . That err err err pull like a sail cat would do . Then I thought damn I got a f-ing sail cat . So once I got him to the pier and started pulling him from the bottom and felt the weight to him I thought i must have a state record sail cat or something. But once I got him to the top of water I was pleasantly surprised. Was a beautiful really girthy of muscle just a beautiful hammer . About 6 ft . Yep 15 lb on spinng reel and rod and mono baby ! Will never forget that ! But it sucks they close the park last time I went . Can't fish past dark . Very sad ! I used to go there in the daytime and fish all night into the morning . Have a ton of greenbacks . And if your there and the tide changes to outgoing right before sunrise , step on 5-10 dozen greenback and toss them in and soon as that tide starts to get flowing a bit your fishing is on !!! Absolute shame you can't fish overnight any longer.
@@Thonny yes it is fire. My best friend growing up, his mom used to make it. She Chinese but raised him in Vietnam. The Vietnamese know how to hook it up. It doesn't even really taste like fish. It would be great content for you.

@@Thonny I have been out a couple of times lately just for quick outings after work. Fishing has really been good lately.
I went out for two hours, one evening last week, and managed and insurance lamb, plus a couple of nice snapper. It was a great evening. It made a pretty good video also. Lol.
I just back from fishing myself. Clam Bayou in Gulf port. Didn’t do great. Caught a 12 inch red drum. Caught 2 yesterday. One was 17 inches just shy of a keeper. Did see the manatees😁. Going to try another spot the next couple days.
Good luck! The big mangs are out there!

@@Thonny Sounds like I'm going to start filling the freezer for dinner! How's gag season treating you?
The best part of the video are the people getting hype for your snapper lol
thonny, I got a 29" gag off my secret bridge last weekend brother. pb for that spot. previous best was 28" and the crazy thing was a got about a 5 pound sheep head fishing with a big pinfish. hooked in the mouth so it was tryin to eat it brother.
That’s incredible. Did you use pinfish for gags?
@@Thonny yeah, bigger the better brother. You know.
Do you see that 28 1/2” speckled trout in my profile picture? Got that at fort desoto east beach in 2010 on a top water on a super foggy morning in the winter brother. Still looking for that elusive 30” trout.
You are not kidding that is a monster 😀💪
It’s a tank for sure! 💪
Great vid that snapper is the size you catch when your 25 miles out. Be there in November for pomp and mangrove time. Nice bike too.
I appreciate it! 👊hope you get on em when you get here!

Man I haven't been to the pier in over a year I've been waiting for them to open it looks nice now ..... Did you get any snook action from there T ?
No snook that day! But I’m sure they’re there. Lots of bait there!
What. Weight jig are you using ?

Occasionally they’ll come through the bay pier
Nice Mang Bro
Thanks man! 🙌 biggest mango for me so far!
Talk about a Mango Monster! Time to grill up that delicious fruit of the sea 🥭
What’s up Kean! Been getting on them?
Big spanish mackerel rolled in last weekend. Got a 24 inches.
Nice mang. Caught a 20 incher on the skyway couple weeks ago and I haven’t caught any bigger than 14 inches before so I was in disbelief. I got him on a flair hawk of all things. Craziest catch ever. I thought it was a grouper too. Hope to see you one day 🫡
That’s insane 🤯
i hate to ask a silly question but im fairly certain you are on the gulf pier at 10 minutes?
ah nvm
Is that the Gulf Pier?
Oh yeah 💪 on 🔥
Hey, do I need a fishing license to fish from the pier?
@@pablomanz1138 nope
Great! I am in the area and will take the kids tomorrow or Wednesday. Hopefully we get our PB snapper too.
Damn! That’s an offshore snapper!
Oh yeah! 💪
Stud mang bro!
Thank you Curt! 👊
Great video Thonny 👍 I was fishing the John’s Pass area in June and again in August for the mangrove’s. Is it just me or have you guys been catching bigger ones in September?

You do get the bigger ones inshore around this time of year!
Wow great catch bro new subscriber here fish on 🎣🎣🐟
I appreciate it! 👊
God's blessing beautiful fish that's a PB for me from any structure
in a year or two it will be like the skyway
Hope so!

Baby gags everywhere, caught a dozen at desoto ramp the other day.
Yeah glad to see the baby gags! Cause one day they’ll grow up to be one of those studs!
I marvelous day of fishing and location choices, too! What was the last place you were at catching Pomps? It looked safe to be there traffic wise.
When you gonna do ladyfish patties and fish ball hot pot
Never 😂😂 not a fan
Whhhaaat?!!
@@davidsevillamelendez8208 is it any good?
