That new Piscifun Nautix is actually amazing from my experience so far 🔥

[@mickdee6590]

Especially when you grab that knob!

[@mattinlo7]

@@mickdee6590 I love how it’s not over sized like other power knobs 👌🏼

[@Thonny]

Like this comment if you want to see more skyway grouper fishing videos!

Night time fishing video

[@mickdee6590]

Keep up the nice mix of spots. Maybe check out some spots to the south! Sarasota county etc...

[@StephanieBassora-q7x]

Good job buddy 🎉🎉

[@StephanieBassora-q7x]

Hey thonny really enjoyed this episode you did a good job😊😊

[@Thonny]

@@StephanieBassora-q7x appreciate you watching the videos!! Really means a lot.

[@richardperez8113]

Love how you showed the reality of it. 1 fish, countless snags

[@StephanieBassora-q7x]

Hey really enjoyed this episode you did a good job buddy 👍💪

[@Thonny]

Thank you! New video dropping at 3pm tomorrow

[@ethanvang5614]

8:55 they hit it so quick and violent! Gotta always be careful and ready when freelining cause if the line wraps around the bail it could break it off. Happened to me one time when I first started fishing gags 🤣

[@Thonny]

You got them dialed in!

[@LynxAngler]

Nice job Thonny, that was an exciting video. You continue to blow me away with the variety of fishing you can do over there on foot. You make me want to move to Tampa!

[@Thonny]

We will have to get them in the bay real soon man! 👊

[@LynxAngler]

@@Thonny I've never caught a grouper so I'm down anytime!

[@stevechiu8264]

YES!! My favorite type of fishing!!

[@Thonny]

Love it!

[@StephanieBassora-q7x]

So cool bro 🎉🎉

[@29floridaguy]

Can't wait to get out there again. Still haven't caught anything on the new setup I got last year ugh...

[@davidgalloway904]

Great vids Thonny, is there a best day of the week to avoid crowds? Those days when you feel like, wow, got the whole thing to myself!

[@Thonny]

Monday!

[@lawrencevalentin3646]

Nice video.. Thonn, you quite suprised with the Gag. I certainly like the size you caught... till the next round Thonn❤

[@Thonny]

Thank you!! More to come

Hope you enjoyed it!

@@Thonny for sure, i can't wait til im back in the area to test my skills. every year is different fr

[@thereeltwizz6580]

Love the videos! Think I saw you yesterday leaving fort desoto pier around 11 or 12.

[@charlesachinelli3857]

That was a mangrove snapper puncture marks, a big one too

[@Thonny]

Unreal! Good to know

[@charlesachinelli3857]

They love the real small pins

[@charlesachinelli3857]

I love to use 40 lb for grouper and Mangrove Snappers offshore. It's easier to wind in

[@snizookslizayer5379]

thonny, im thinking if you bring 2 grouper rods and one gets rocked put it in a rod holder and wait him out while you are fishing with the other one.

[@MrEdGetDough]

Grouper fishing off the skyway is great but nothing like them sliver kings off there

[@yakitiyyakkayaks4323]

Nice what all do they catch this time of month at the skyway

[@davescheer5038]

🌴 Hey bro , it’s great seeing ya get out and rip some lips those gags fight like crazy !

[@frostizz2072]

Not in season

[@davescheer5038]

@@frostizz2072 ☹️

[@klywrx]

Gag is out of season, black grouper better?

[@toorealworld]

Damn thonny i was just there on the end of pier yesterday catching bonita and Spanish mackerel. You make the pier look dead. What day where you there? It was crazy busy when i went

[@Thonny]

I was there on a Monday!

[@toorealworld]

@@Thonny have you tried catching bonita at the skyway? There still out there I think that would make a great video. We where just free lining green back. And they where smoking them. Also the taste amazing as sushi. Don't listen to negative people saying there trash fish.

[@cawbaird5711]

Catch a half dozen pinfish on the tiniest little piece

[@sgbawg0]

Every single time I go for grouper, dolphins steal my pinfish. Every. Single. Time.

[@Thonny]

I feel the pain! They get me too sometimes

[@ktra5031]

What rod are you using?

[@Thonny]

Shimano Terez 7’8!

[@Snickers21363]

I am very surprised that none of our local You Tube fishing folks that live line for grouper use a Penn Spinfisher VI Live Line reel. You set your drag, cast out your bait and activate the Live Line feature that you can set to the free line rate of your choice. It totally eliminates time spent in tightening your free line, flipping the bail and eliminates line tangle. It is a bit heavy in weight, but I'd rather land a fish than cry about the weight. It has a 5.6:1 gear ratio with 30lbs of drag.

[@johnmoriarty6158]

Shimano perfected it long ago.

[@mickdee6590]

Those live liner reels aren't necessary and just opens you up to more things that can break on the reel but to each his own!

[@bobtellone5099]

Do you use a swivel to connect your leader to braid?

[@Thonny]

No, use FG knot!

[@garrycomeno2731]

Hey Thonny. What knot do use to connect braid to leader. Thanks

[@Thonny]

FG knot!!

[@garrycomeno2731]

Thanks

[@jacobclark3]

Well you be trying for any more pompano any time soon I was thinking about trying to hunt for some

[@Thonny]

Yes soon!

[@sebasroca]

At second 0:19 what rod is that would love to know the length/ action and class and what that grip style is called compared to a normal split grip.

[@Thonny]

Shimano Terez 7’8 100lb class

[@GvillBoy]

How do you get them on the incoming tide? Also, what brand is the fishing pole?

[@Thonny]

Gotta find rock piles using google earth. It’s a Shimano terez

[@mikewilliams9715]

I usually get rocked there.

[@CastawayChronicles]

What rod is that? Terez?

[@Thonny]

Yes

[@iancordova]

Is gag season closed?

[@tristc6909]

Yes

[@GrimmReapa]

Just watched a short of man taking a towel and wrapping a towel over the butt of the rod and taking the fishing and wrapping it a few times over the towel then pulling to get the fish unstuck and he was on the Skyway.

[@CastawayChronicles]

What combo?

[@celsoalvaradorodriguez5717]

When is the grouper season begins Thank you

[@ryanbennett4956]

How do u know where the rocks are out there ?

[@Thonny]

You can see them on google earth.

[@ryanbennett4956]

I fished it first time last week got on the macs but no grouper looking to target them soon

[@Thonny]

@@ryanbennett4956 yeah the macs have been there thick

[@ryanbennett4956]

Do u ever catch any other kind of grouper out there ? I follow u on I.g also only seen gags

[@ryanbennett4956]

Yeah macs have been I’m new to the area I fish every weekend I met bush couple weeks ago hope I get to meet you too soon ! I watched baton y’all’s stuff

[@snizookslizayer5379]

I know they made a rule on how many rods you can bring though. I dont know how many brother.

[@markerip4726]

As many as you want but you can only fish 2 at a time

[@him57890]

Whats the best time for the skyway?

[@miguelportillo6591]

i would say like 12:00 ish is best when it’s not to hot or to cool the fish are more active

[@cawbaird5711]

Another good option are gulp minnows

[@Thonny]

🔥 🔥 I’ll try that

[@cawbaird5711]

Does summer has pompano, guys ?

[@Thonny]

Oh yeah 💪 try jigging bridges

[@RobVanDam1591]

Great video, but you definitely need a proper bait / fillet knife.

[@troymackie9363]

I love the content man but I wish people wouldn't pressure the gags when it's not even open season it makes the bite harder out there when it does become time to harvest 😔

Wth is 5 to 10 pounds.
