Right now I'm planning on being at the pier next sunday or monday since I have to drive down there for another reason. I'm looking forward to it, since everyone likes the fishing there.

Re: who wants to do a trip to skyway this fall ?
I am still interested in the trip as long as dates work out for me. I fished the ssp two weeks ago for the first time. Nice spot, lots of bait and you can drive up anywhere you want to fish, cant beat it i hooked on two snooks but lost both.
How many days your gonna be there GK?

Re: who wants to do a trip to skyway this fall ?
I'm excited. I should be on the Skyway either tommorrow(sunday) or monday. It depends on timing and whether I want to stay in Tampa overnight.
I'm fairly certain that pier fishing counts as physical therapy for my rotor cuff injury. I mean, I didn't ask my doc about it in so many terms, but it should be good for it. Teehee.

Re: who wants to do a trip to skyway this fall ?
I ended up at the pier on sunday for about 7 hours. Even though it was sunday, it looked like there were plenty of places to park and fish along the North pier. I ended up near the very end, just because.
I did not see anything really exciting, although people did catch some fish. The bait shop guy said mackeral were hitting lures, and people were catching odds and ends.
Myself? I used live shrimp(later they were dead shrimp) and squid, although I did try out a GotCha lure a few times. I caught a few pinfish types, several grunts and one small jack. Perhaps a dozen fish and only two barely made it into the 'I could eat this' size category. I saw a lot of porpoise swimming about and someone accidentally hooked a pelican that the pier guy rescued and turned loose.
All in all, it was okay. I would have preferred to catch some decent fish, or at least see some being caught around me.
Also, the fish will eat deli turkey off your hook but don't like banana peel.

Word is that the gags have started to move inshore. Any word on that? I think this trip was going to happen in November.

I will be there the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

and I know that kingfish, sharks, and grouper are biting for sure.
Bonita should come soon as well... There was a school a few weeks ago. I am guessing snook should be around as well.
There are a tons of sheepies showing up as well.

Gk if you settle on a date let me know. It's a 7 hour drive but I might be able to do it! I haven't been salt water fishing since I left! Text me if you decide anything.
