Hey thonny buddy I really did enjoy this episode you fishing at the skyway is awesome buddy 👍💪

[@stevechiu8264]

Skyway Grouper is a grind for sure! but it's so rewarding when you catch a keeper!! Good to see flapper is staying out of your way!! Awesome catch!

[@Thonny]

I got lucky that day, the dolphins weren’t as bad

[@shirleyhufford5697]

Hi Thonny, my husband and I love watching your videos especially on the Skyway Pier. We were in Anna Maria Island last month. We drive down to Sarasota and I tried the Kahwa coffee you recommended and it was reslly great! Thank you! We look forward to more fishing videos!

[@johnnysalwater]

Thonny that was a great battle with a keeper gag. Glad to see you back battling the gags on the skyway again. GOOD CATCH!

[@Thonny]

I appreciate you for watching the vid !! 👊

[@firstlight4165]

I am a fan of you. I am from the Midwest and fish the Great Lakes. There is a learning curve for me. I will be spending time in your area since my wife and I retired. You are a great educator. The Grouper you caught are awesome. Wondered what line you were using so I expanded the 'Show More' noted 25 lb fluro. I thought no way. I am glad you closed with the actual line strength. Thanks for the video Thonny.

[@carlandre5826]

Thanks for letting us know what you're using. Because somebody may like other the gears you're using.

[@JackedUpFishing]

I have fished over your way a few times! Good stuff for sure. Good edits bro!

[@Thonny]

I appreciate it man!! 👊

[@odiesclips7621]

What size hook you are using? Thank you Great video 👍👏

[@Thonny]

6/0 circle !

[@celsoalvaradorodriguez5717]

Thank you

[@gino55yo]

Hello sir, to make your sabiki assembly you have to make a dropper loop knot?

[@Thonny]

That’s it !

[@gino55yo]

Alright thanks for getting back. I discovered your channel from France. She is very good 🙋‍♂️👍🙂

[@BBinette630]

Great video! Got out there today and had some good bites but couldn’t hook up.. any advice?

[@Thonny]

If you’re trying to target grouper I would try free lining a live pin fish out there

[@robertrio632]

Nice catch things have really picked up since the night time temp cooled down, Fort Desoto pier was great last weekend.

[@Thonny]

💯

[@chris6054]

Hey man, found ya on Fishbrain. Any tips for a first timer looking at this pier? I live down in Sarasota, but I usually head toward Boca and like never go north. I've got dozens of frozen pins and pigfish that I'm hoping would work too. New sub coming your way!

[@Prone-Ski_BX]

Thonny, what are the best months for Grouper on the skyway pier.

[@Thonny]

The colder the better !

[@FishOnChannel]

Good job my friend that's my favorite corner for outgoing 😄💪

[@Thonny]

Let’s get out there soon!

Sick video bro LOVE THE GROUPER FISHING

[@gladiatorfishing3174]

Nice work bro! Out there last week and the dolphins took both my keeper gags 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Thonny]

That sucks man! I’ve had that happened to me a couple times!

[@tommyrt681]

Hey Thonny, how long is the rod your using? What pound test are you using? I have fished fresh water all of my life (Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and the Niagara River). My wife and I moved to Bradenton two years and I recently got the itch to fish bad!

[@Thonny]

The rod is a Shimano Terez 7’8 50-100lb class paired up with Shimano 10000 saragosa 50lb braid and 80lb leader!

[@tommyrt681]

@@Thonny thank you for the information and help! Your videos are very informative and fun to watch! Your knowledge and passion for fishing is easily seen.

Nice fish man 🙌

How often do you fish in Florida

[@Thonny]

When I get the chance! I live in Tampa Bay Area

[@firemazer9202]

Congrats on the stud grouper! I'm still trying to catch my first keeper from the Skyway.

[@Thonny]

This is the time!

[@firemazer9202]

@@Thonny Yeah just haven't had a chance to get out to the Skyway lately. I need to get out there soon though!

[@maximo582]

Where can I buy that fishing rod?

[@Thonny]

That particular rod is discontinued. Check out St. Croix mojo 7’6 65lb class

[@mingbositu3501]

Is it easy to catch coopers at night time?

[@Thonny]

I wouldn’t say easy! They’re challenging to catch from the pier

[@sebastiansak2813]

What pound line should I have because I was thinking to go out and I have 20 should I get more

[@Thonny]

If you’re targeting grouper then I would go heavier on the line like 50lb braid or higher. Heavy gear too

[@sebastiansak2813]

@@Thonny alr thanks love the vids keep it u p

[@user-by6yc8yl7v]

Aren't bonefish the strongest/fastest lb for lb?

[@ahellicopter1396]

What's the rod you used with the Gosa? *Also how do you get that rod grip above the reel?
