Dude, when I watched a previous video you posted on Grouper fishing, I went str8 to Dicks and beefed up my gear. I'm itching to get back out there. Anyway, great vid and I'm mad dude tried to make you think your fish was 23 and not 24.

Great video! Great fishing spot. Personally I’d move my truck and gear/bait to where I was fishing. Eliminate running like a track star to re-bait. I keep my pliers, knife, tape measure and towel on me when I fish too

Awesome trip to the pier man! Had to take a week off from the pier myself but i'll gonna be getting back at it next week. Hope to see you out there slaying 'em sometime!

Keep the videos up my g! After I land a tarpon I'm grouper hunting!

When you get rocked up with the line tight, pluck the line a few times like a banjo string, that helps them close their gills and come out.

That’s awesome bro happy for you!

I live in palmetto. I fish the rivers and Tera ceia a lot. I lost about a 40 pound tarpon at the skyway bout a month ago off a live grunt. But why side do you normally fish? I got the north end on st pete side atleast 2 times a month and can never seem to stick a grouper out there. Do you normally Gish the south side? Seems like there is a lot more structure over there. Pinfish are always plentiful on the flats on the south side. I just need to find the groupers 😂

You don't like a circle hook? Isn't it required in the Gulf? The Blue Runner would have made a good bait,maybe modify the tail to slow it down.

Ralph Rivera I personally like the outgoing but I’m sure you can catch them during incoming tide too

What’s the rod weight ? Is it feels pretty heavy ?

Man let’s link up at the skyway I’m just right over the bridge in palmetto on terra Ceia

How much slack line are you giving the pinfish when freelining? Still trying to improve my grouper game out there lol. Also, I heard when you get rocked, sometimes when you tighten the line and play it like a guitar OR release tension and give it slack they'll come out. Just keep your hand on the line so you feel them move and then reel like hell.

@Thonny

4 жыл бұрын

Danny Truong I usually give slack as soon as the pinfish hit the water so it can swim deeper. Be careful though if you let the pinfish swim too deep it’ll rock itself up! You want to feel the pinfish swimming. When you get rocked up just give it slack and hope it comes out!

Is 60 pound leader the lowest you would go? You think you can get away with 50 pound?

@Thonny

Жыл бұрын

Yes I’ve got em on 60lb in the past! Honestly I would stick with lighter leader like 60lb or 80lb to get more bites! Anything over 80lb is just too thick! Plus if you get hung up which it will happen. It’s a pain in the butt to get out. If a grouper gets you in the rock most likely he’ll snap the leader. I’ve had them snap 120lb leader !

Great video. Where are you guys from?

Bro i think the fish that you use as bait are going on a rollercoaster when u cast em.
