[@johnfinch4690]

Awesome video man. Love seeing all the interaction with the subscribers and another great video. Keep up the great work bro!

[@Hainero2001]

I love going out to the Skyway with my daughter. She always catches way more fish than me and leaves with a huge smile on her face.

[@Saltyscales]

That is awesome!

[@Murimz]

All ive caught are sardines

[@grievous3364]

[@garydirks8223]

Skyway is a treasure for you guys. You always seem to catch something there even if it isn't your target species. Good work again.

[@ShinkiZer0]

[@ElijahNMitchell]

Wow! I just moved to Tampa July 2019. Going to the Skyway this weekend for the first time! Thanks for the video, should help!

Hello Josh my word you guys doing some great fishing

[@41bigdeer]

Awesome Josh great video. I finally have my boat running $2,000 later. Starting my channel soon. It's going to be Poor Boys fishing. I haven't got any videos yet but they will be coming soon. Have a blessed day God bless.

[@Saltyscales]

Hey Danny, that is a boat for you. They are a pain in the ass. What can we do lol. Good luck out there!

[@GorillaRuss]

I have 5 kids but my oldest are looking forward to using your techniques to catch some fish when they come down to Skyway in a couple weeks

[@johncampbell1191]

Found that if you use procure shrimp scent or fish bites shrimp on a sabiki, it works great in a pinch for getting bait.

[@Saltyscales]

Hey John, it was a struggle that morning.

[@corymitchell2720]

Also to let you know were only in tarpon springs and this would a dream come true for him and ofcourse he has all the tackle he needs so u know

[@CaptChrisCanning]

Good day good day. I struggled though, I’ll get them next time. Good meeting Richard for sure 💯

[@davescheer5038]

Ok Chris how many did ya catch ? 🤔. ( and no the ones you got in the cast net don’t count ! )

Another great video with some great tips!

[@tylerbradberry8718]

Just subscribed to the channel. The family and I just moved down to Bradenton from Atlanta and loving all the videos you're putting out. Ready to get on these fish!

[@Saltyscales]

Awesome and welcome!

[@antwanjones679]

One thing I know about fishing everyone got the own way of doing it what works for you might not wrk for the next man. But great video my brother.

[@Saltyscales]

If you follow my tips, they work for everyone. Coming from a captain who teaches people for a living. 👍

[@ZoePzzie]

Great video. I think I know what I'm doing wrong thank you. But those dolphins once again... Hopefully one day I can bless and be able to fish with you guys on the skyway. Til then have a bless day.

[@CyberSmack365]

Thanks for the tips.... Try cut up pices of gulp in place of the shrimp and squid for the pins and pigfish. It works great.

[@IslandLifeFishing]

Heck yeah awesome day out there!

[@odoylerulez1427]

I'm gonna try to free line for some groupers sandwiches! thanks for tips as always

[@Saltyscales]

Get them, they are there. 👍

[@nbay1471]

This is awesome dude! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🔥

[@Saltyscales]

Glad you liked it. 👍

[@Sqillyam]

This is why I always catch my bait before getting out there its one of the hardest parts about the skyway for me

[@frostizz2072]

You just need a good net, some guy let me borrow his 10ft and caught all the bait I needed

[@curttimmbch]

I'll be in Ruskin Thursday and Friday to fish. Friday fishing with Matt Santiago but Thursday afternoon, gonna try the Skyway.

[@Saltyscales]

Good luck! 👍

[@myvideos2715]

Beaut vid mate. Off to Busselton this week for a spot of fishing.

[@davidlittle4948]

Great video. I hate paying $5-6 per dozen for shrimp and bait shop frozen is a crap shoot... so, I’ve started salting my own shrimp and clams.

[@Riley-bb3eh]

Wow my exact fishing spot when I go

[@gwddmt1]

*Publix always has Frozen Shrimp don't they?* lol..gw

[@eclecticmusica]

Even the Publix west of US-1 have frozen shrimp down here in south Florida.

if the bait stores are out of shrimp or frozen shrimp you can always get Frozen shrimp from Publix

Good tip Scott

[@jakewkayakfishing8457]

Tide charts have been way off recently. At one of my redfish spots that is only good on the outgoing tide the tide turned a full 3 hours late the last two times out.

[@aaronhiggs]

Last Friday night at the skyway it was off by 2 hours. No clue how they have been so off?

[@Saltyscales]

They seem to always be off now. Not sure what is up.

[@aaronhiggs]

Joshua Taylor it seems like everything on Tampa Bay is off by about 2 1/2 hours per what everyone us sayings. Gandy beach Thursday was off 3 1/2 when I went out. 2020 is so wacky.

[@noahlemar5124]

I’ll be at the Skyway tonight! If you see a Blue Tacoma with Lightning sticker come say hi!

[@stephanietaylor7928]

Great video, that is so cool that you took the time to take a viewer out! Love your channel!

[@danielmiller210]

I helped build the reefs off the skyway bridge if you look over the edge at the piln they will be a number painted on the pil about 50 ft off the bridge they'll be a reef

[@KevinJennings-k7h]

Great video for what you need on Skyway Pier you asked if there was anything you left out the only thing would be a very light rod and reel for catching sailor's choice and Bait fish of that nature that you wouldn't necessarily catch in your net otherwise it was all covered

[@Saltyscales]

Very true!

[@chimy99]

It’s easier to put on the smallest hook you can find and put some split shots on with the bait sometimes the sabiki doesn’t work well

[@Jesus-gz8hn]

Josh future guide on the pier?🎣

[@jazminjimenez1240]

I used to go there with my ex boyfriend,, I miss that place so much, such nice experience

[@cammi9948]

Hey great video. Ill be in florida this christmas. I fish alot I also spear and crab but I know nothing about florida fishing any tips? Or do you have a tutorial video?

[@Saltyscales]

We have lots of tutorials, be sure to checkout my playlist. 👍

[@brandonbaker7150]

I’m looking at getting the penn pursuit 3 for live bait/ chunk bait. Would you suggest a 6000 or a 5000 on a 7 foot rod?

[@Saltyscales]

I definitely go 6000

[@Wes_side_fishing]

Hey josh had a question about the structure. How far out is it roughly so i dont get hung up when trying to get them mangos?

[@Saltyscales]

All depends on the rock pile. typically 25 yards or more.

[@stripermanly]

Pretty cool. Headed that way in a couple weeks and will be taking my grandson (6-yrs. old) and he’s so excited to catch fish. What time of year was this filmed and will there be any Spanish in the area the first of June?

[@andrerodriguez3043]

Hey in your opinion which side of the skyway pier do you like better?

[@Saltyscales]

South pier, more room, more rock piles.

[@andrerodriguez3043]

@@Saltyscales thanks brotha. Trying something different than the kayak today.

[@webincomestream2784]

For me the GT knot is much easier to tie, smaller and just as strong if not more so.

[@DrJ561]

Thanks for the video. How do you know where the rock piles are?

See my other video on the Skyway. I have one dedicated to rock piles

Can I ask what bait you used for the snapper?

[@royraider7623]

Another good one even though you didn't get a grouper. I haven't fished the bridge for a while, but how do you tell where the rock piles are from up on the pier?

Was wondering, what do you do when you get hung up, with 100 lb leader, and 80 lb braid, cut the line, try to break it, or what.

I never cut the line, you pull and break it. 💪

[@chillylizerd]

I watched this video because you were doing something with a subscriber. Makes me think that I could have already bumped into a name I should recognize and not realized it... Hmmm.... Meh. Wtvr. It's a petty that you didn't pull up more bait. Maybe do some cast netting at a wier or tributary nearby?

[@lrosario7164]

Hi Joshua. I'm big fan of your videos. I recently moved to south Tampa and I've got hooked with saltwater fishing thanks to your videos. I've learned so much from them. I was wondering what kind of spinning rod set-up with you recommend for grouper fishing.

[@Saltyscales]

Appreciate you watching. Get something with an adequate drag of 30lbs or more if you can. I like a nice heavy St. Croix

[@CDH1112]

Do you guys still go to Skyway? If so how often? I’m trying to catch you guys there to learn.

[@torresfishingFL]

I was at the north Pier on Monday morning and I tried live pinfish for Gags but wasn’t very successful, only got snapper, do you have any tips that could help me get my first gag grouper?

Hello Torres, my best advice would be to catch the Skyway videos in this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLXLQVmxnp-5xu1TxadQrF2NnsBEdG8w9d I tell you everything you need to know to be successful at the piers.
