They Were SMOKING Baits off the Pier!!! Skyway Pier Fishing!

- In pursuit of catching some land-based mackerel and albies, aka bonita, I set out to fish the Skyway Fishing Pier in Tampa Bay. The fish were chewing this day on live baits, and while I didn't have the best hookup ratio initially, I was able to put together a solid catch off the pier.

Glad to help another angler get on the fish. It was a pleasure to meet you, hopefully we cross paths again maybe in Keys or wherever else.
Is this Terry ?
Yes Sir!!! @@dillonfishing
You a G, Terry 🤙
Terry seems awesome, I hope to seem him out there someday soon
Great persistence, always nice when the local guys are willing to share their knowledge, thanks Terry
Great video my friend. Catching bonitas is fun, and you got that right Terry is the man 💪
Nice seeing you out there the other day! Tight lines 🤙
Nicely done!!!
Loving the content as always! Thanks for always taking us along with you! Cheers from Utah!
Hey Dillon, appreciate your persistence and your love of fishing! On the west coast, we use #1 to 2/0 gold Aberdeen hooks. For Spanish Can’t wait to run into you during your time at Bama
Dang no lie I was gonna go this weekend to, only a 25 min drive from me 🤦♂️ always glad to see skyway content
Should have went and grab ur poles..😁
banger as always
“Point Cadet Bridge” which we use to call the “Back Bay Bridge” in the 1980’s is another pier you can drive on. It was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and then rebuilt and renamed. Red fish, black drum, sheepshead, flounder, can’t forget the sand trout and the speckled trout. Good old Biloxi Mississippi.
I’m not going to talk about the pinfish, catfish, and stingrays 😂🎣
Nice! Pier fishing was always frustrating for me with all the people.
When I went there this Sunday I caught 1 gag grouper (keeper) 3 bonitas, at this time of the year you can only catch em near schools of bait.
7 mangrove snapper (only kept 5 since it was the limit). Arrive the right time and you will get keepers for sure!
Also for those mackerels always use long shank hooks.
Solid day!!
Hi dillon yes a freighter hit the bridge may 9 1980.. love the colors on fhe Bonita good eating fish to.. yea u got to play around a bit when pier fishing its like coaching what ever works u know thats how i look at it 🤣tight lines buddy..
great channel, man you fish HARD consistently, I love it
Preciate you🤙
Oh Dillon, this old man is starting to believe that you just might be more of a fishing freak than I in my hay day. , kid keep your fishing adventures going, one question, I definitely hear the sound of your spool screaming. BRAID? I tell my sons there fishing with rope , lmao ! Old habits dye hard for me , DILLION , go pro !
Next time, daisy chain the long shank hooks together (hook through the eyelet of the other hook) you might have to thump it to get it through the eyelet. I’ve seen people do it with 3 hooks in a row to prevent bite offs.
Nice fishing man. Just subscribed!
Thanks! Welcome!
Ooo I want to go ocean fishing so bad
I was there on Tuesday June 4th
Great vid. Nice audible staying in Tampa
Fingers crossed you'll hook up with the Uncle Larry guys. That'd be a sick colab!
Haha I stayed with them a couple nights when I was down there but we didn’t get out and fish unfortunately
Hey man, looks like we are living the same life. I go to USF and spend all my free time fishing. We should link sometime, maybe take my gheenoe out
Hey bro , with those small circle hooks and toothy, fast fish , let them take it for at last 2-3 seconds , don’t reel right away you’ll land tons. But yea long shank is the move
Long shank is definitely the play
I’ve got about 6 dozen now lol
Great vid and Terry is a legend. What lb test line do you use for this kind of fishing? Any tips for this kind of fishing if you don’t have a buddy to do the netting (I often don’t but do this kind of high up fishing). I guess I can go high on the lb test and just dead stick them up but I would risk a break offf.
I’ve solo netted this fish before, you’ve just gotta be nimble. And I was running 40lb main line braid, 25lb fluoro leader.
Can you post a video or explain how you rigged your gotcha artificial?
Also what lbs line are you using
I just tied a loop knot with 30lb fluoro leader. And 30lb main line braid.
Bro i realized why Louisiana is called sportsman's paradise. The creel limits match the bite. Allowing people to keep one two fish on most species is chicken shit of fla. Though the variety of species is a little more here from land. Both have their goods and bads
When u going to get back to jersey and hit the surf 🎣
Goooooogan
I’ve lost abt 20 bonito cuz they drive straight down into the piling b4 I can set my drag
Tricky fish for sure.
The best part is after your drag is set the FUN begins especially on light gear where the drag will be singing. Now that’s Fishin 4 me😁
Terry’s a legend.
Also why release a fish that slammed on the concrete so hard? Dunno if the poor guy will make it… they aren’t exactly designed to take head blows like that :/
I saw that man give you a handful of hooks...
Terrys the man
@@dillonfishinghe proved it in front of how many of us watchers?
But great video anyways
Every time I go there the pin fish steal my bait
Gotta use those pins for bait after they steal yours!
Come hit Navarre
What's bad words
