Free Grouper GPS Coordinates Inside Tampa Bay!

In this video we are giving away a GPS coordinate that on this day we caught close to 60 fish on this spot. It is not an easy spot to find in the sense that it does not show a lot on the depthfinder but it has hard bottom and we wanted to help you find an area that is more difficult so it will make it easier to find more spots on your own.

Just want to say thanks for doing this. This helps put together (for me) what I'm seeing on the sonar with actual coordinates - and what they mean. Again, thanks for all the info you provide. You could just as easy not do it and we'd all be the lesser for it.

[@chrisscangarello3100]

I've learned a lot from your videos! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

[@blakefish6101]

Thank you for the video. So many videos out there are of people just catching fish after fish with no real dialogue but you actually take the time to teach along the way. Really appreciate it and very much enjoy your videos!

[@mark-7362]

Your willingness to share trade secrets and knowledge never seizes to amaze me, keep doin you !

[@howardjones1955]

Thank you for doing what you do. You're definitely helping me learn my bottom machine and to understand what I'm looking at in real time. Keep up the good work!

[@benny9513]

Awesome video. Always looking to learn. I'm new at this and trying to teach my kids...continue with great videos

[@plantcitychuck2551]

That's really nice of u to share that info.i can't use it as I am a shore fisherman but I have a friend who grouper fishes that can use that info I will pass on to.like ur videos

[@vincemitchell4885]

This is great I always watch your program on KZbin it's a lot more information I live in Sarasota I don't care about seeing the the best part is teaching people how to read their sonar or depth finder keep up the good workif you could do more videos on how to read your depth finder I would appreciate a bunch

Great show! Thank you.

[@TheMisfits424]

Great video guys! Like the idea of giving out a number that more difficult to read the bottom as a good learning experience.

[@1222harv]

thanks, guys for sharing.

[@CoastalTidesOutdoors]

I have learned to read my sonar a little better now from you teaching how to properly read it. I wish I could use it more but the shipping channel near the skyway in my 17ft skiff on a windy day is a bit sketchy lol 🌬🌊 God bless!

[@mobettadealgetta5111]

Great job Todd! I remember talking to you at the Boat Show and you mentioned you were going to do a video and share some numbers. Some of the comments below prove you can't please everyone. If you gave them a million dollars, they'd complain that you didn't give them 2 million!!! I guess they don't realize how long it would take them to learn as much as you're sharing. Keep up the good work. The "real ones" appreciate the knowledge!

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

Yeah I have learned you are not going to please everyone and that is ok. It's people like you is who I do it for and thank you for the support!

[@kilgore5075]

Keep up the good work. Thank you for the numbers but honestly I have been able to find my own spots by watching your previous videos explaining what to look for on the Simrad. I have been able to catch some fish consistently and my 8 year old son actually likes to go fishing with me more often because TBFC has made me a better angler

th'ere's a couple really good ledges on the south end of Egmont between Anna Maria. Always did really good for Mangos there. I fish FTL area now but you guys fishing the Bay makes me happy. BTW, I have some really good snook and redfish spots in the north Tampa Bay area if you guys want them.

[@paco1008]

Thanks for the info & tutorial on the fish finder/gps equip. It's helpful. My boat is set up (2003 Penn Craft CC @ 22'3") for 1-5 mile fishing ... what newer fish finder would you recommend. The boat came with an older GARMIN GPS/Finder that's relatively small (6 or 7"). I've not hit the water yet this year due to the "virus" but would like to be ready when we can here in Georgia). THX.

[@fuego1024]

i can't for some reason find those GPS coordinates it keeps sending me to another country

[@timalcorn2769]

Thanks for the digits, but what coordinate system is that? If it is decimal, then it should only have one point. Cant be DMS because there isn't a .917 seconds. I am lost!

[@rickchesney6867]

I am a semi nubie to fishing saltwater and very close to buying a boat to fish the bay and maybe a little in the gulf, my comment is when you catch a snapper or a grouper could mention what variety of the species that it is. Some of the snapper that I have seen y'all catch don't match the chart from FWC. I will help seeing the fish first hand and alive for me or others to recognize if we catch one. Thank you for the great videos.

@@TampaBayFishingChannel thanks :)

[@Engineer_Heathen]

I just asked this on your other video, not knowing you were about to post a new one, but have you ever tried jigging for grouper? I generally don't like using bait because it's a pain in a kayak. Went out a few weeks ago in the gulf and a guy was jigging up some big red grouper with a spoon. I've also seen guys do well on bucktails. Never seen it done in the bay though.

[@hookedup1]

Hey Todd a big thanks to you and Pork chop for the continued great videos😀, have a question about these numbers you published, as I absolutely understand you don’t want to give away your hard earned honey holes but I’ve fished all around that area and the numbers provided is in around 28ft of water but on your machine it looked like you guys where along the channel edge at around 40ft? can you confirm? Thanks again and see you out on the water....regards, Paulie.

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

It’s a big area. We actually have a bunch of #’s in that area

[@fuego1024]

to my understanding those are DMS coordinates ( i may be wrong) but i cant figure this out it's driving me crazy

[@timalcorn2769]

those coordinated do not punch into my Lowrance unit.. WHat format are they taking about. There is not such thing as 917 seconds. Max seconds is .59

[@blakefish6101]

One question, is the deep red on the bottom machine what is telling you it's hard bottom?

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

Yes especially on the humminbird. The simrad stays red all the time but when over soft bottom the humminbird will turn yellow.

[@FT86TT]

Hey Tampa Bay Fishing Channel, The coordinates you have given looking at the chart shows it's about 24 ft deep but your video shows that it's about 45 ft deep. Is the spot on this video different than the coordinates you gave away? Thanks!

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

It is a very broad area that we were fishing and I have at least 8 waypoints within 300 yards of each other in this area. This # is a starting point and branches out from there.

[@toddethier622]

Hey guys, I am looking for a new cast net. Thinking 10 foot. What is it about the Humpbacks you like so much. I dont have enough experience to know a good cast net.

[@chasemasters9446]

Todd Ethier it’s got a good horn and they are easy to throw

[@kingffej5882]

When you say major feeding time. When is that? At high tide and low tide?

[@timalcorn2769]

you must refer to the solunar chart

[@p.l.carrillophotography6371]

Hi, I must be doing something wrong. Those number are for about 22-24' but you were at 45'.

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

Saw your Facebook post. Explained it. Thanks

[@charleslanyon1940]

So, whats the explanation? It appears that you lied about the spot you were going to give out. I mean, it's a free spot that you didn't have to give, but why be misleading?

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

@@charleslanyon1940 Obviously you did not watch the video. I gave out the coordinates at the end.

[@charleslanyon1940]

I watched the video. At around the 5:30 mark you start talking about giving out the numbers to the specific spot you were fishing. That's when you showed the screen and thats where everyone saw the 45' depth. Then, at the end, you provided numbers that are in 24' - 28'. It's not the end of the world, but I know what you said and I know what I saw. Obviously others saw the same which is why several people have questioned you. I haven't seen an actual explanation yet, so I asked. No need to explain it at this point. Just keep side stepping.

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

@@charleslanyon1940 um the area is very broad like a football field and a half broad. So there are ledges on the edge of the shipping channel and hard bottom in the middle of the channel. The number I gave is where the area starts. I actually have about 8 waypoints within about 300 yards of the exact number. It is hard to believe that someone wants to argue with someone who selflessly put out a gps coordinate that we catch fish on. But then again there have been many times that we have had boats all around us and we were the only ones catching fish. You can lead a horse to the water..................and by the way the gentleman above was using his navionics on his phone mine came from my gps when we were on the spot so..........

[@samn4611]

Hi

[@laurazavatkay2782]

Thanks again Todd for the great information and the numbers. FWC will have a great time handing out "coupons" with all the boats crowded together around your GPS spot! 😁 Quick question, why is it that when a grouper breaks you off it usually happens on the 20 lb leader and not the eight pound braid?

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

Because we are using such a long leader. Plus the 8# braid has a breaking strength of 20#.

[@vincentkolanko9634]

It would be nice to hold up the fish so we can see the fish you are catching. You pull them up and throw them back with your back turned to the camera.

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

Yeah we are bad about that. Have to make a mental note.

[@Mr.JayOutdoors]

I'm having a hard time trying to locate this area. Could you please help us out???

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

The actual number is for a general area that has ledges, rocks and hard bottom. I used this number in hopes that it will help people learn their bottom machine and be able to find the areas around this number.

[@Mr.JayOutdoors]

@@TampaBayFishingChannel my apologies i thought i deleted this post. I ended up finding the location last night
