Small Baits Catch Big Fish at Skyway Fishing Pier - Ft. See Ya Dude & JC Fishin

[@markhaynes3378]

I used to fish that skyway bridge back in the early 80’s right after it got hit. Those were some outlaw days back then on the bridge.

[@davidhopson9802]

Nice tarpon enjoyed the video thanks for sharing as always God bless you and your family love y'all my friends

[@Saltyscales]

[@Saltyscales]

I wouldn't say that but it gets everyone worked up lol

[@jd07996]

Great to meet you guys out there. You were not exaggerating, the heat was brutal. Nice tarpon though!

[@Saltyscales]

Good to finally meet you Jeff. Thanks for stopping and chating. Did you catch those pinfish?

[@41bigdeer]

Great video Josh. Thanks so much for the free fishing 📦. Tell Chrissy Poo that he's next lol I'll be waiting. Awesome fish God bless.

You're welcome, hopefully you got some good stuff in the box.

[@DonnyT1981]

I've never fished this area and would like to come down and try it I'm from Georgia used to fish the keys as a child but this is closer

[@rickhiggs4303]

Hey Josh.. Looked like a frustrating day.. But always good to at least be fishing on the water.. Thanks for sharing with us.. Having trouble getting notified by youtube last couple times.. Hope Chrissypoo is feeling better.. Be safe and God bless your family and you.. Always your friend, fan, and subscriber..

[@Saltyscales]

It was a good day for sure

[@CaptChrisCanning]

Gosh, I can feel the heat coming through the screen, like seriously. The camera kept fogging and I could feel the heat off the bridge and the GoPro heating up, lol. Nice poon! looked like the grind. Good to see Brent finally coming to his senses and wearing some Salty Scales 😂😎

[@Saltyscales]

That heat was intense, I haven't been that warm in a minute.

[@2011BABIES]

We were there two nights in a row from 1 AM till 5 AM on Saturday morning and then this morning we were there from 1 AM till 7 AM. We were netting a bunch of green backs and same thing… kept getting hits then snagged on rocks…other than dolphins kept showing up scaring away fish and there were a lot of tarpon!

[@DanTheFishMan]

Nice work boys!!!

[@ROZDAB]

Awesome Collab

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks man

[@Matas226]

Just went to the Skyway south pier Monday and Tuesday Oct 4 and 5. We had no luck beyond one Mangrove snapper. When is the best time to go fishing here? There was plenty of bait fish. We had no bites other than bait fish and dolphins.

[@samiches2008]

What size mesh on your cast net do you use?

[@marcusyoung2870]

It's way hot Josh. I'm ready for cooler weather lol

[@Saltyscales]

I could use some fall weather right about now.

[@jaredbradley152]

Joshua Taylor aka Robbie Lawler fishing the skyway..

[@garydirks8223]

Just curious. How is that place for night fishing?

[@Saltyscales]

Night fishing is great, just have time things around major, minor feeds and tides.

[@TheAnglerWithin]

Nice video!

[@nolanngrant4836]

Hello, I'm called the (Eight Rodd Banditt) 🎣 but my real name is Cory, thanks to you for the videos! 🎣

[@sidneycoakley3992]

Dude I went to Skyway yesterday and it was hot as well with no wind to cool off! I caught a few snapper but It was way too hot with heat index of 106 🥵

[@Saltyscales]

It is dangerously hot, stay hydrated.

[@itsnandy6731]

What reel and rod your using for the tarpon?

[@Saltyscales]

The Okuma Cavala 12 and St. Croix Mojo

[@cassadilla_99]

Was doing this exact free line technique with tide going out. 4-5 pin stayed alive for about 45 minutes without bite today. On the south pier. Maybe I wasn’t as close to the structure as I needed to. Is there a way that you know where the structure is with feeling around the bottom and getting snagged?

[@ReelNewwt]

Thanks for the vid on tarpon release. If we aren’t able to get it to pop out are we allowed to use a pier net to bring them out for release or do we have to break them off?

[@JCFishinCharters]

Nice poon Josh, definitely was a grind on top of being abused by porpoises

[@Saltyscales]

It was the grind. 🤦‍♂️

[@tty3146]

Hey...I am wondering if I can come and join you for fishing for few hrs. I am a newbie and need to learn a lot of things.

[@piotrszymanski942]

What is that rod and reel combo?

[@Saltyscales]

Okuma Cavala 12, and Mojo meat stick

[@iancordova]

I can't wait to make back out to the Skyway. I got Nov and Dec off and will be making some trips down there. Out of curiosity, what would you have done to release the poon if the hook didn't just release? For example, what would be the expectation if someone caught a goliath, shark, or stingray and did not have a basket? I do believe goliaths can't be taken out of the water but I haven't seen a video on the expectation versus reality.

[@Saltyscales]

I have a cutter that cuts the line near the hook.

[@vishb2881]

Hi Josh, I am new to Tampa, can you suggest me a good fishing spots for beginners?

[@Saltyscales]

What are you fishing for?

[@dinoharrison5138]

Hi Josh, serious question. The bait you hooked (3:30) you hooked through the stomach, why? I have always heard hook through the back or lips. Just curious. Have you and Chris given up on magnet fishing? While I really don't want to see a ton of it, once in a while would be entertaining. Better luck next time. It's a shame the dolphins ruined things. I am sure they did not do it on porpoise! 😂 (OK, Bad joke) Take Care, BE Well, and God Bless ✝

[@92TampaChick813]

I was out at skyway yesterday and the damn birds kept taking my bait. Their savages 😭😩

[@joshuaburgos3450]

I just lost a 100+ pound tarpon out on the skyway last monday.

[@Saltyscales]

The one that got away, keeps you eager to return.

[@joshuaburgos3450]

@@Saltyscales yeah everyone kept saying "hey that lil spinfisher 6500 will not be enough" and damned if that tarpon didn't run straight through lock down drag

[@Cajun_Aquatics]

He looks like great value flare

[@Saltyscales]

In your dreams son, been around long before flare lol

[@jamesm705]

Do you still reply to comments on 8 month old video?

[@Saltyscales]

Why not?

[@jamesm705]

@@Saltyscales good to know because I'm looking at some old videos. Thanks

[@jakefromstatefarm9721]

There are no porpoise species in the gulf.

[@Saltyscales]

Many people call them grey porpoises but if this is what you learned in this video I think you're watching for all the wrong reasons. 👍

[@jakefromstatefarm9721]

@@Saltyscales sorry man, it’s just one of those pet peeves. If you called them greys I would understand but….. porpoises or are more related to whales than they are to dolphins. I think its an east coast thing to just call them all porpoises. I realize I came off like a dick, my bad, it’s just o e of those things to me.
