Grouper fishing in Tampa Bay!

[@Chris-lo8xs]

Is that at Bahia beach reef and Obstin Fish Haven??

[@mrnicetai]

Awesome video. There are some monster groupers in the bay. My biggest one was 30 inches off the skyway.

[@badfishtv3813]

That’s a skyway stud, congratulations!

[@AnythingAndEverything813]

My guy knows these waters like the back of his hands!! Great stuff bro 👍

[@badfishtv3813]

Thank you buddy!

[@0xb1sh0p8]

Nice work! You just free lining pins? I need to stop running offshore every time and spend some time in the bay.

[@badfishtv3813]

Yes free line pins over structure.

[@jackithepi]

Nice grouper, Scott!!!

[@Dyeheartxfire]

Great video guys!

[@badfishtv3813]

Thank you!

[@gurtman20]

What size main line and leader are you using while targeting grouper? Awesome videos!

[@badfishtv3813]

65 lb braid and 60 lb fluorocarbon.

[@amigoal1475]

great video can you share how you were rigged up... looks like you were free lining a pin..thanks aL

[@badfishtv3813]

60-100 lb fluorocarbon to a 6/O extra heavy circle hook. Pinfish, large white bait and thread fins.

[@CaptainErikLIVE]

Good job. 💯

[@kennyhaug6125]

That’s the fastest uni-knot I’ve ever seen, not gonna lie!

[@jb5676]

When you say inside Tampa Bay, do you mean waaay inside? Because I've tried between the Skyway and Egmont Key without much luck. And what depth usually??

[@badfishtv3813]

In my opinion the other side of the skyway way up in the bay is more productive for grouper and snapper and I’m usually in the 20 foot range.

[@mcopilot]

where do you meet to do your charters? what marina is your boat docked at? Thanks

[@badfishtv3813]

Ruskin, pickup at hooks waterfront bar and grill.

[@amigoal1475]

great job ..would you mind showing us how you are rigged up bait etc//////// thanks

[@badfishtv3813]

Yes we have a video coming out on that soon!

[@hunternewton7674]

Love to see it I’ll fish the skyway for gags while im catching bait there but other than that I don’t really know what to look for on my depth finder when scouting for spots in the bay u think u could make a vid on what we should be looking for

[@badfishtv3813]

Yes absolutely we will work on that!

[@leatherjack5036]

Crazy bite, what lb leader were you all using?

[@badfishtv3813]

60lb fluorocarbon.

[@michaellotz7875]

Great Stuff! Love that Parker, I never understood why that model didn't sell more. You can fit a small army on that thing! Slack tide?

[@badfishtv3813]

Me either, best guide boat I’ve ever ran. The tide was moving very slowly though.

[@AnythingAndEverything813]

Jake giving the Heat!!

[@joshweber9307]

Hey I've tried gag grouper fishing in the bay once and was able to pull up a 28in near Port of manatee. I was just wondering what depth of water do you like the most?

[@badfishtv3813]

15 to 20 feet.

[@joshweber9307]

@@badfishtv3813 oh nice! It still amazes me that you can catch keeper size gags in such shallow water, I was in about 30 feet bouncing around the ledge of the shipping channel

[@honestabe5087]

Impressive catch.

[@dopezone5150]

Super nice fish! Do you do any private charters ?

[@badfishtv3813]

Yes that’s mainly what we do!

[@randygreen1882]

Nice video are you chumming? How do you keep pin fish down without weights?

[@badfishtv3813]

Yes I’m always chumming and when the pinfish are head hooked and the tide isn’t running really hard they will go down naturally.

[@randygreen1882]

@@badfishtv3813 thanks see you on 30th

[@trevorstokes8478]

Dude looks like he never fought a fish before 😂😂

[@chrishammer9891]

those are some bay studs

[@kennyclemts1482]

What kind of bait are you using

[@badfishtv3813]

Pinfish and greenbacks.

[@1973superdad]

How far out do you have to go for those?

[@badfishtv3813]

About a half mile, honestly.

[@ConsciousHumanity1111]

What’s your charter bro ? I live in st Pete

[@badfishtv3813]

Badfish charters out of Ruskin.

[@fierceflyer5]

Never saw anyone pick up a hitchhiker on a boat before lol

[@badfishtv3813]

Yea they like to hangout on our boats and pick off the dead baits, Always happy to see them.

[@AnythingAndEverything813]

[@williamwise1993]

[@chrisleigh06]

[@chrisleigh06]

[@jeffreyzentz2534]

[@vincentrussell7246]

All these fishermen who catch good tasting fish but don't show the public how you clean them and cook them up, everyone catches the same fish you catching what's different about your's, nothing 17:13 if you keeping them well show us how you cooking them up!
