I like your content brother! I fish the skyway heavy around July through November. Maybe we can link up and fish one day

[@hookedonfishingforreel]

Thank you brother! Absolutely 🎣🎣🎣

[@kevinf4606]

I have fish the intracoastal in Fort Lauderdale for years. My go to bait for Mangrove snappers. Is silversides. Break them in half and use a small hook with a light knocker rig

[@hookedonfishingforreel]

Thanks! I’ll definitely have to give those a try next time👍

[@KingKo0]

Great video! I love catching mangrove snapper. I use cut mullet and have no problem limiting out every time. Mullet is better than shrimp imo bc shrimp come off the hook too easy. Mullet stays on for so much longer while the fish are nagging at it

[@hookedonfishingforreel]

Absolutely! Thanks👍

[@EagleCafe]

[@davevalente]

Do you ever go for flounder?

[@hookedonfishingforreel]

Great question! I’ve never gone out and targeted Flounder only. I’ll definitely have to give it go. How about you?

[@PracticeMakesPaper]

Would this work with a using jighead instead in deeper water under a bridge?

[@hookedonfishingforreel]

Yes it could. Just depends on type of jig head. Crusher jigs or yellowtail snapper jigs would work great. Size 1/4 oz. Hope this helps. 👍

[@Altcoingem]

Hi Derrick, where is this location?

[@hookedonfishingforreel]

@@Altcoingem Hello! It’s over by woody’s waterfront across from Sunset Dog Beach in St Pete.👍

[@arum1205]

what rod you used?

[@hookedonfishingforreel]

@@arum1205 Star Rod Stellar light Spinning Rod.

[@javoncanady7850]

did you let the bait hit the bottom?

[@hookedonfishingforreel]

Yes! I had a small split shot about 18 inches up from the hook; which allowed the bait to sink slowly in the water column to the bottom.

[@acemurphy2]

Will cut up sand trout work ?

[@hookedonfishingforreel]

Great question my friend ! Me personally, I’ve Never used cut up sand trout before. So I really can’t speak on it. I guess the only way to know if it will work is to give it try. However, I do know they definitely like Threadfins, cut up Lady fish, Pinfish or finger mullet. Please let me know if you catch any on the cut up Sand Trout. I’m curious to find out. 👍

[@acemurphy2]

@hookedonfishingforreel I will. They are legal to use as bait. In Texas, at least. I think lol

[@Joseph-yq5zl]

What hooks

[@hookedonfishingforreel]

Size No. 2 J hook

[@andy374]

Here in Miami most of those little parks have a fence with no fishing signs all around, or homeless drug addicts wandering around. Stay safe!

[@hookedonfishingforreel]

Yes sir! Thanks👍
