Thanks Chad and Todd great stuff. I'm from N.E. Florida and the inshore fishing in Tampa is different here. The need for I- Pilot, sonar and gps is necessary here. I've had to purchase for my flats boat since moving here. Thanks for the info it's really helped me with the transition.

Todd did i understand correctly, yall fished the middle of the channel? Awesome 23'' snapper that gives the rest of us something to measure up to and track our progress.. Whats ur biggest Gag?
@TampaBayFishingChannel4 жыл бұрын
Yes we fish in the middle of the channel but we are not anchored. We are using our spot lock trolling motor to keep us in the spot so when a big ship comes through we can easily get out of the way. My biggest gag inside of Tampa Bay is 36". Thanks for watching!!!
@charleswashington75764 жыл бұрын
@@TampaBayFishingChannel Thanks for the prompt response. Todd to be honest I don't want to tangle with a 36" nothing coming off a reef. WOW, I know that experience must bring back fond memories. last question, did you catch that 36" Gag with 8 lb braid and 20 lb Floral? Or should i carry a pole with a little heavier fishing line? Thanks Todd for the help!!!
@TampaBayFishingChannel4 жыл бұрын
@@charleswashington7576 we caught that fish on 8# braid and 40# leader at the time. It was when I was still guiding so I was using heavier leader on big spinning rods. Yeah it was a hell of a fish. We caught 18 and 15# grouper that day also!

What size jigs would you recommend I purchase from you for snapper fishing around the skyway? You appear to like the little ones that a lot of people use down at the keys for yellow tails and they the larger ones you have in the shop. I would like to order an assortment from you and would like to try what you recommend. thanks, Tom

Hey just wanna say i love your channel...i also do a good bit of bottom fishing in south carolina ive got the state record yellowtail 10.8lbs, it gives me chills everytime you and chad hang one of those freight trains and can't turn him...anyway im coming down in a week to apollo beach for my hunny moon and was wondering if there were any good structure in that area or should i run futher down towards the skyway...also could i find decent bait in the area...any info would be appreciated!!!
@TampaBayFishingChannel4 жыл бұрын
Yes there is some great structure starting around the mouth of the Little Manatee and running to the skyway. The closer you get to the skyway the more structure there is. Bait is most likely going to be at the skyway pier because the water temps have dropped. That is where we will be catching it this week. Thanks for watching and congrats on the honeymoon!
