[@kevinpedraza1424]

Y’all are great 😍😍

[@jtrapolsi]

I subscriber to JC, Bush and Thonny. You 3 are the best!

[@abdelwhabkhlifa1782]

the best 2 fisher men in tampa bay but hopefully to mention your location in next videos specially small bridges and shore surfing spots

[@PassivePortfolios]

Hey Bush, bring him to the Ft.DeSoto jetty. Lots of Spanish mackerel and snapper there today. The Skyway has less dolphins though.

[@SilvermanAdventuresFishing]

Thanks for the good info vid JC. Going to the Skyway this morning. Hopefully have a good day like yours . Peace.✌

[@RMRCV]

PG, it was a great morning, glad you met Jake. Don't give up on the skyway, we gotta go on weekdays. Have alot to learn from JC and Bush. Keep Safe.

[@TheLawlessTide]

We need to fish skyway this spring. Just fished this last week with Bushi, had a blast. If you and Bushi have time this spring lets hit skyway sometime.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. Count me in! I've been enjoying watching your vids recently, good stuff!

[@TheLawlessTide]

@@RadReelingFishing thanks man, really appreciate it! That'll be awesome and ive been enjoying your vids for a long time!

Awesome video JC. Hope your neighbors below you have 9 foot ceilings. 🙏🏽 for Tampa

[@SeamusHilleary]

Fish on’s awesome!

[@aubreydukes9293]

I drive all the way from Orlando to the skyway and never catch anything I like the spot but I'm going to call it quits till I get a real fish catching strategy for the skyway

[@juniorSimpreus]

I thought I was the only one bro

[@Topgear.filmer]

Silver spoon in the morning. Load up on mackerel

[@dennislewis7602]

Wish they would make piers or bridges like this is nc. They would be easier to fish! Instead climbing over and through the trees to fish lol. 😂good video !!! Yall make me want to go fishing!

[@bucketmouthadventures4554]

Bushi is awesome. Congrats on all the spanish. The grouper has evaded me out there as well but I am not gonna give up!

[@DanTheFishMan]

Nice job guys!🤙

[@offshoretotheinlands]

Yeahhh budddy tight lines 🎣 🤘🏽

[@motofarmmx2430]

Hope you're all good JC. Looking forward to seeing you back out at these places and seeing the changes. I bet if you made a video about damages from beaches ect it'd do good.

[@RustyReels]

Nice job guys!

[@RM-iy7xx]

Looked like a great day on skyway. Nice Spanish. Great video

[@chrisfilippi]

Hello JC, thx for great vid and I have heard good reports about the bridge but never fished with success. Hope you get back there again. Best chris

[@MMACAMVIDEOS]

Be safe in the storm JC. God Bless... Spillways gonna be flowing

[@HarrisonSawyerr]

First time on your channel already love the vibe. Was thinking about going here tomorrow seems like a great fishing spot! Great video thanks for the tips

[@frostizz2072]

I’ve been slaying the macks there

[@2Cool4Ryan]

JC!! the hurricane Fiona is about to hit us. You wanna go fishing once it arrives? It’s gon be fun! Ha ha

[@NAUTILYFE]

Another fun one! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@smokingreelztv8219]

Hey man I haven’t seen you post in a couple days since the storm and I hope you’re doing okay and are just without power. Hope to see some more videos in the near future but also understand if you don’t because there’s a ton of clean up down there. I might find myself down there later this week and next week helping with clean up down in Venice and Fort Myers.

[@retiredoba2836]

Hunker down old buddy. IAN at least for the moment looks to be formidable.

[@highonpotnus7890]

my two fav youtubers , great video . I never catch anything out there on the skyway.

[@Prone-Ski_BX]

JC be safe out there my man. The hurricane looks dangerous.

[@Mk-xz3ys]

We’re you using any weight when belly hooking the greenbacks for Spanish at 3:00

[@RadReelingFishing]

Weights always depend on the amount of current. I was catching them without weights and then when the current picked up I added a small crimp weight.

[@sethscott4211]

Kinda felt the same way but I started changing things up and I won't go near that place on the weekend. Won't. But I may have found a place for grouper to fish during the weekend during this short season.....

[@trampster7306]

Great video thanks JC! Mackerel are my favourite fish to eat here in the UK. Shame we don't get the Spanish ones here as they are 2-3 times bigger than our UK ones! Stay safe & well! 🎣🎣👍👍

[@FatGordie22]

Nice work. One tiny suggestion; as per your hooking demonstration, when you put the hook through you had a scale stuck on the end of the hook after it came out the other side. They work a lot better with no scales on the tip. Keep those videos coming.

[@RMRCV]

JC, great vid as usual. I just moved to the area, been following you and Bushi for sometime, love both your vids, content, quality, information, tricks, etc. Would love to meet and hook up sometime. Keep the great work. 👍

[@bobk.1428]

Keep your eyes to the sky. Big storm coming. Stay safe!

[@CharlotteHarborFisherman]

Bush seems like a good dude

[@BasicUser123_]

JC, would like to know you’re safe after Ian. Love from the east coast. God bless.

[@RadReelingFishing]

thanks for checking in on me. Yes I'm doing fine and my kids are too. I don't want to ever have to listen to that kind a relentless wind ever again. we just had damage to trees and fences. i'm currently without power, but the temperature was cool today around 70°.

[@BasicUser123_]

@@RadReelingFishing thanks for the update, that’s great news, glad the family is safe. One thing I I know is us Floridians have all been through it and stick together! Praying for restoration. Stay safe. God bless.

[@igotatan1]

JC, I've had favorable results using a 4" steel leader when fishing for toothy critters...

[@LuisRodriguez-ry8oy]

Next time cut the Spanish mackerel in rounds and use it for bait works better than the live bait.

[@joeytwotimez4101]

that was the south pier right?

[@juniorSimpreus]

Man I love 50 min from the skyway I just be doing something wrong I barely ever catch anything 💔

[@HeadHoncho727]

People don't realize how much a chum bag would help too lmao. Chum bag and the right set up is what catches fish at the skyway. I've seen many locals just get tired of that pier. It's really overfished tbh. Not a great fishery like it once was. I remember people used to catch 24" gags daily from the pier. You'll never catch me fishing there again tho. The admission fee alone makes me turn away. There a spot right around the corner where you can catch bigger and more fish.

[@tland3900]

I end up feeding the pinfish and porpoises

[@AnsariBaksh]

You won't believe how hooked I am on your videos 😄Don't get to go fishing very often, and when I do go, I catch nothing but sunsets! 😅Where do you get those goffy jigs to buy?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Walmart or I order them online from tackle direct.

[@damionsowers8612]

Skyway is a tourist trap fishing spot

[@cammi9948]

Any tips for fishing here in December

[@RadReelingFishing]

The sheepshead and black drum but should be good. Possibly some good pompano fishing depending on the water temperature.

[@cammi9948]

@@RadReelingFishing my S/Os family are in tampa and we are going for Christmas and Im a fishing addict. Unfortunately I know nothing about Sea fishing in the US nvm Florida. If you have any advice on rigs or bait Im happy to learn anything

[@2Cool4Ryan]

JC. I have a question. I just went fishing today, Sept. 25. Lots of fishermen and kayaks out there today but I asked out and no one caught a fish included myself. I wonder if tropical storm would bring fish in or cause fish to evacuate towards deeper water? Thanks!

[@RadReelingFishing]

That's a very general question. My rule is find the bait find the fish. Several years ago we had terrible winds from a near by hurricane Michael. The wind caused a large school of mullet to get pushed into an area around a pier where I was fishing. The Snook were going ballistic on that school. I heard the commotion, went over there and landed a stud of a Snook. Here's the video, I time marked it for you kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2nOiZaJo9VnnrM

[@antwan5411]

Is this the north side or south side may I ask?

[@RadReelingFishing]

South

[@tland3900]

I think Bush has a horse shoe in his back pocket

[@frostizz2072]

What size net does bush use

[@RadReelingFishing]

You'd have to ask him. Most of the people I've seen just hand line their grouper up.

Dude the dolphins tried to get my bait fish that I had just hooked while they were still on my Danilo rig

[@anataone]

I need all the help I can get

[@sethscott4211]

Dolphins have been horrible and seem to get worse. Stole 2 of my gags on Monday and countless baits. Didn't get my gag today but stole baits and scared fish into there homes. They need a hunting season on them

[@LRocks1000]

I caught about 20 fish and killed it with dolphins around - gags are great but not worth wasting to dolphins

They just changed the law at the skyway bridge. You can only use one pole for fishing at a time.

I heard there's going to be a course that has to be taken also. Is that course available yet?
