Spring Fishing on the SKYWAY Pier Using a Trolley Rig

Спорт

Here we are spring fishing on the Skyway fishing pier using a trolley rig and large pilchards. the trolley rig is a super-effective technique for pelagics such as kingfish. The idea is to keep the bait at the surface regardless if the tide is coming in or out. It also holds the bait away from the pier, therefore it stands out. Tampa Bay springtime fishing offers some of the best fishing of the year. When the water temps reach the magic numbers between 68-72 degrees, fishing really gets exciting. If you enjoyed this video and would like to see us try and catch king mackerel again, comment and like this video. Let us know below.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Used to fish the skyway all the time back in the late 80's early 90s before you could drive on it. We would park and fill up a couple of shopping carts and walk them down as far as we felt like. Spent the night all the time and caught just about everything. Half a dozen trolley's, half a dozen shark rods, grilled out and had big boy drinks. During the fall we had college football on the radio all day and night. Something about the sunrise and sunset on that bridge. Brings back some great memories. Thanks.

    My pops used to keep a 3 oz weight on a penn surf rod and smack boats that came to close to his lines. After breaking a windshield on a boat once, they moved quick. I hate the boats around the piers lately. They have the WHOLE center span to fish. They are just lazy googans.

    I use this rig all the time at the skyway! Great vid! Wish you guys got one. Hate to say it but from my experience over the past few years, the closer to the end of the pier you set up, the chances increase to snag a king. Also, unfortunately, many people know that and camp out there. Another way to snag a king is on the outgoing throw out a diving lure. Keep the great content coming!!!

    Dued catch a smaller size blue fish or Spanish and throw them on the rig. 💯 percent game changer trying to hook up. A nice tip to see your bait all the time is to attach a bright fishing cork on the line that slides on your anchor rod.
