Your very welcome!

I'm glad I found your channel. I am moving from North Port to Parrish within the year and I wanted to get a head start on some channels for fishing Tampa Bay. As a member of Saltstrong, I have done pretty good but always look towards the guides and locals of the areas to hone my skills. Thank you for having such an informative channel willing to show how you are catching snappers and groupers in Tampa Bay. I like my light tackle but also have the heavier tackle when it is needed. going out to 20 miles or less, what are you thoughts on Jigging with slow jigs? I like artificial baits but also do live/fresh caught baits as well. thanks again Brad, Tom

If you can add methods to keep them alive if you don’t have a bait well in a boat that would be awesome. Keep the videos coming and thank you for sharing/responding!

Can you just go to any spot of the channel/edge of channel? Or do you have to mark them.

That area looks like east of the Skyway bridge towards the old Port ( if the Skyway Bridge is the one on the back, in front of the boat).

Looking forward to fishing with you this Friday! My brother booked a trip with you!

How long do you usually fish your spots for snapper before moving to a different one? And if you’re getting a bunch of shorts/small ones, would you still move off of it to find bigger 12+” fish?

There’s no reason why it wouldn’t, focus on the slower moving tides and I would try to chum up current from the bridge so that the chum falls to the bottom around the bridge.

Please tell me this was a recent video. If not, is there any fish left due to the red tide? Vacation planned to the bay in September and can’t decide if I should cancel. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Yes you can sleep on the skyway pier in a small RV as far as I know and have seen but as far as the health of the bay goes it is surprisingly good despite everything it has been through in the last few years. Grass did seem to be affected a little but there is some still there and plenty of life.
