- Our first time fishing at the Skyway Bridge Pier near Tampa Florida. All new fishing locations are slightly different and understand what is needed or not needed is important before you go. If you do not know someone to give you tips on the location that would be helpful but most of us do not. Enjoy our first time fishing at the Skyway bridge and learn what not to do and what to do.

Just an FYI. Don't reel in when you hear your drag releasing especially with a spinning reel. It twists the line and can make weak spots and a tangled mess. Also the fish that nearly got your rod probably swam under a rock. Sometimes if you just wait it out it will swim out and you can catch it . Just loosen your drag and sit the rod back down.
Fisherman are generally the best people. Usually serial killers don't like fishing. Lol
I hate the Skyway fishing bridge, even the employees know it's a waste of time Tampa Bay has too many problems and too many lines in the water for me to waste another day there!
The small fish you were catching were grunts very common their I fished the skyway my whole life whenever you do have a set rod make sure you loosen you drag so that way if a fish does take it you will just hear your rod scream then to set the hook just tighten the drag otherwise that fish will pull your rod in the water you got very lucky catching your rod before it disappeared forever loving the channel keep up the great work and maybe one day I’ll catch you out in sanibel one of these days
That lady’s been there for ages.
This guy is awesome. What an absolute find talking to him. Great share!
If you don’t have a net I’d say buy a sabiki rig to catch greenbacks(the bait fish),cut it up or throw it out live and you’ll be able to catch mostly everything around the bridge
I have fished all over the country and my top five fishing spots were.. Valdez Alaska the Kenai River in Alaska Homer in Alaska Seward in Alaska and one strip club called the Bush Company 🐠
That lady never says good morning back. Lol
Send those grunts out on outgoing tide, live free line over the rock piles and the gags will rock your world. Lol. Probably won't be able to land a keeper, though. You need the gear and experience to land them......if the dolphins let you. Lol
You lucked out meeting the bait guy.
That bait guy was super nice! Hope to see him at the pier one day!
I’ve fished every spot on the skyway, and spearfished below off to the side, climbed on all the rocks, and I’ve seen all kinds of cool stuff there. Happened to witness a massive drum school, and as quickly as my line got wet, they moved away. Sheepshead are tricky but so good to eat, I had the best luck with a spear, they like to go into the rocks and snag line. I caught a ton of kings one night on incoming tide on rod. My husband got a ray on the bridge and that was a challenge to pull up! File fish, box fish and puffers also like to steal bait, and I’ve caught more of those than I can count. Caught the biggest pin fish I’ve ever seen on the bridge in winter and ate good! 😂 it actually filleted nicely.
U got lucky and found a good local to help u out ! Kudos
Quite helpful. We live in sun city center, close to Ruskin. Fished bass tournaments for years, but going to give skyway a try. Something new. Well appreciated.
Wish I was meeting folks like this while I was fishing down there 😂 awesome video
Videos like this is why I started my website and youtube channel is to help people like him learn how to use their fishing tackle. I mean it's all about having fun to but not fun if your losing fish. The drag on that reel sounds like it was a bit too loose could've tighten a bit more.
When you set your rod on the pier it needs to have loose drag so it doesn't get pulled in when a fish bites. When the fish has your bait tighten the drag so it doesn't take you in a rock or piling
You got Rocked!
I’m a local around tampa and fishing for skyway has lots of fish you can catch. Grouper Spanish mackerel w tarpon etc. To catch grouper, around 6/0 circle should be good with 80lbs leader with a medium size pinfish for Spanish mack small long shank j hook with a thread fin/ greenback
