Grouper Fishing the Skyway Fishing Pier + Madness, we free line for grouper but after many break off, Chris gets rocked and loses his expensive fishing rod. We arrived at 5am and began catching pinfish, pigfish and any other delicious grouper bait we could get our hands on. I had previously advised the boys what their setup should look like and sure enough, both come under equipped. It's not because the grouper are massive but it's because of the nasty structure that make up the reefs. You have to have heavy line, leader and sufficient drag to land these hard hitting grouper. There is also something special about a shallow water grouper bite, they are ten times more aggressive in my opinion. Anyhow, I think we all lost nice fish early on, whether by break off, rocked or just coming un buttoned. I just missed a grouper, when I look over and Dean is hooked up, rod bent to the max. He managed to rip his from the structure, even though it was a little undersized. Chris gets rocked by a grouper unknowingly and lays the rod down to record Dean's fish. As we turn toward Chris’s rod, we here a quick tumble and splash. At that point it was on like Donkey Kong, we fished for that rod for hours. I finally told Chris to hook up his GoPro, so we can locate its precise location. On the first cast I landed the camera on top of the rod. At this point we know there is hope, we all forgot our castnets on this day so I called my wife and politely asked her to make the 30 minute drive to the pier and she was kind enough to do so. Chris seemed defeated but I don’t give up that easily, Chris’s GoPro took a poop and failed…I know, what a day. I decided to deploy mine and we saw that with our previous hours of attempting to hook the combo, we managed to drag it very close to the pier. My wife arrives and with the help of William, a bystander we capture the rod and overall end on a great note. Check out Chris’s video to see the capture: • Grouper Fishing Off Th...
Stay tuned, we will be doing a Skyway grouper catch and cook!
