The way you’re missing fish it’s almost like Chad is there 😂🤣 Great video lots of great info 👍🏻

[@glennporter771]

Love his rods as well Have 2 exactly like you 👍🎣

[@jimdrechsel3611]

Thank you Todd. What is a good size circle hook? Will you plan your trips to fish slack tides? How do you plan your trip to work with tides? Learn something every time I watch. Do you tie your leaders directly to main line? What knots? Thank you

[@juniorcrandall8933]

Always enjoy watching your videos. Did I miss miss the part about how to set up on a channel?

[@aaronmay7112]

I’ve been using the Stewie jigs with cut bait for reds. They work great

[@ttjohnson9561]

Hey gentleman. Do you all have a tripletail fishery in the bay? I grew up in Indian rocks beach and am 55. It took me 40 years to find triple tails in the icw and I catch mangos to 5 pounds but not the numbers like you guys. A good mango bite for me is 6 to 8 for two guys. They just won't ball up and stay aggressive long it seems. Using pilchards and piners too. Any how l look forward to your videos. Thx for doing such a awesome job with your videos. I'm a single dad and work way more than I fish and I at least can watch you having fun. Would love to meet y'all soon. Got pics of some triple tails from the intercoastal on Facebook.

Alway excited to see a new video!! Sure it’s going to be great.

Hey Todd. Did you get a new motor on your boat? Looks different.

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

No friends boat. We are using it until ours is out of the shop

[@laurazavatkay2782]

Great video Todd, thanks. Glad to hear Chad is doing better. What model and make of bottom machine would you recommend for a new 24 foot center console boat? Also, would you do a quick chat about the trolling motor support stand that you have attached to your trolling motor? Thanks.

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

All I know about the stand is that it was homemade and I would have to have nanner man talk about that. As far as machines, they are all good. Just go with the one that feels right to you.

[@laurazavatkay2782]

@@TampaBayFishingChannel Thanks Todd. Looking forward to nannerman's cameo appearance. Any suggestion on minimum or maximum screen size? Thanks.

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

@@laurazavatkay2782 to be honest whatever you can fit on your console! The bigger the better.

[@JoseLopez-zj8ir]

Nice fish! You do fishing charter? I’ve been looking to get snapper and groupers

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

No I let my license go back in 2010.

[@CONJUNTOCLASSICO]

GREAT SHOW!!! I STILL CAN'T SEEM TO FIND AND CATCH SNAPPER HAHAHAAA (GROUPERS ALSO)

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

Thank you Alexis. Start around Port Manatee shipping channel!

[@CONJUNTOCLASSICO]

@@TampaBayFishingChannel awesome, will do! Thanks again!

[@Bolanksakti]

Welcome new friend I am from Indonesia ☝🇮🇩. One hobby🎣🎣🙏🙏🤝🤝🤝 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩 I'm still a beginner, hopefully I can get support from this channel.

[@panamacitybeachbum]

Todd, how would you compare the 250 SHO vs. the 300 Zuke?

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

It is not mine, it is a friend letting us use his boat. They are both good motors but I am a little biased on my suzuki.

[@blakeshaw5272]

Good video. How's Chad doing?

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

He is getting better by the day and thanks for asking!

[@Jason-wx7ms]

How do you know when to switch from lighter gear for snapper to heavier for grouper? Or is it the same set up?

[@brianhoops6620]

Most of the time it’s the same set up. We change over to small conventional set up’s, but it still only has 20lb floro.

[@newsomeassoc]

Fish more catch more!

[@savagestyle124]

what size is your topline reel?

[@shawnpyle11]

I thing you just don't like to clean them Todd lol 😆 😂

[@robertlowery9860]

is that area where you need a permit and credentials to fish

[@TampaBayFishingChannel]

Nope

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Florida needs new leadership to clean up the water. Someone who big sugar hasn't bought and who has the guts to limit fertilizers. I'm happy to see the red tide has gone away. Did the Piney Point leak make the fish toxic? I'm going to move back to the area soon and fish will be part of my diet again.

[@MarkFL98]

Unfortunately, all state leadership for the last 50 years has been bought by the developers, phosphate and sugar industries. I hope it changes but as you know 💰rules.

[@OFFFishing]

Pays to be a Master Baiter lol

[@gregdouglas5405]

There not stupid they know their killing the water
