You did a really good job on fishing episode was really good 💯😊😊

[@RedMartin66]

It’s strange how the dolphins are so much of a problem anymore. I’ve fished there since the original pier opened. It’s only been a problem in the last 15 years or so they’ve really been a problem. Your channel is great very professionally done. You and “Fish On” both great channels! Someday I’d like to meet up with you when I come visit Florida again. All my years of fishing though, never caught a Pompano. I was never a big jig fisherman which is probably why.

[@Thonny]

I really appreciate that! 👊 you’ll get on the pomp next time you come visit!

[@RadReelingFishing]

Nice haul of Pompano! Great video as always.

[@RagingNana]

Great pier fishing! Glad no one got hooked this time. Thanks for sharing with us!!

[@Thonny]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@selenatorres1522]

I appreciate your content and in depth commentary/tips. Great catch on that pomp!

[@Thonny]

Much appreciated!

I always love fishing fort de soto . Be it shore, kayak , or the peirs.

[@Thonny]

The piers produce fish everytime

[@fvang4751]

It was nice meeting you at John's Pass. Will be testing Fort de soto this week.

[@Thonny]

Likewise 👊

I had to move up to 15 pound braid for pompano on the pier I fish from, big pompano run down the pier like that and it's too hard to stop them with anything lighter. Also, we have tourists that usually won't move away from the rail which makes things worse. I have a rod with 10 pound braid that I use when the pompano are picky or beach or boat fishing. Sometimes if they're almost around the piling I'll open my bail and they'll swim back out but if tight braid touches the piling it usually breaks.

[@Thonny]

Yeah man the one I lost was the biggest one of the year yet! Wasn’t expecting it

[@IODell]

Great video as usual. I've tried Doc's Goofy Jigs twice (SPI) with no success. I'll try again. Amazing how a lure, or teaser color change can make a difference in getting bit.

[@Thonny]

You’ll get them next time! 💪

[@weekender38]

looked like a lot of fun. Great job all around.

[@Thonny]

Thanks for watching!

[@PescaFL]

Great video Thonny slayed those Pomp 🔥

[@Thonny]

Appreciate it!!

[@SeeYaDude]

THE POMPANO PROFESSOR DOES IT AGAIN

[@Thonny]

Oh yeah 💪

[@98kutch]

I wish I could fish out there more. It’s a haul from Brandon to get there.

[@dannyb78]

Bro I live in Lakeland lol. Been going every weekend here lately, catching the pompano and trout

[@robertrio632]

I had hoped that pod of dolphins had moved on. They aren't a problem at the bridge at the entrance to Fort DeSoto or at Skyway North. The problem is when you hook a fish you have to horse them up and skim them along the surface which doesn't work with a big fish, and you wind up losing a lot of the bigger fish, and also it isn't as much fun. If the dolphin grabs your fish the best thing is to loosen the drag and let the dolphin chew for 30 seconds or so, you'll usually get your lure back (but not the fish).

[@tgssurfcaster3197]

Awesome job boys 🤙🏽

[@jtrapolsi]

Nice video Thonny.

[@Tom-cp6yj]

Would you consider doing a video about a "one does all" Rod n real setup? For those who travel by Plane once a year.

[@Thonny]

Very soon! 💪

[@SRH420ful]

just bought a annual pass for ft desoto see ya thwere soon

[@Thonny]

Can’t beat that deal! 💪

[@marvandvicarmendinger4933]

Great video Thonny, thanks for sharing. Question, never fished at DeSoto Pier, hope to be there in May or June. How many yards of 10# braid would be good for Mangrove Snappers at this pier? I put on a mono filler before the braid. Thanks for your help. 👍

[@Thonny]

100-150 yards good!

[@joangeddes380]

Awesome 👋👍🥰🤗🐟🎣🐠

[@lawrencevalentin3646]

Like the video Thonn, the Pampano are "stud"! Your friend (dolphin) is quite messing around your videos... lol

[@Thonny]

Pretty decent sized!!

[@johnrobertson111]

Nice video! Where can I find those pompano jigs?

[@FromLasVegasU]

Hey Thonny, A long time follower. I will be up in Treasure Island from April 6-20th and bringing my 24ft center console boat if you would want to do some offshore fishing or even target areas you know locally. I would love to do a little fishing with you. I will be coming up from Cape Coral. If you ever want to come down here and try some Tarpon fishing, I'd be happy to take you out in my neck of the woods and show you around as well. Feel free to message me if you want.

[@Thonny]

That would be epic! I will let you know thank you 👊

[@RobVanDam1591]

Incoming or outgoing tide? Great video

[@Thonny]

Incoming!

[@ryanbennett4956]

Can u drop the link to those mask ?? I need those

[@yd3021]

I came to fish this pier from Ohio. Got connected with a large pompono two days ago, but could not get it on the pier fast enough. My drag was set very loose. A dolphin grabbed it. Went to the pier again today, fished all day long but could not get any pompano to bite. It was very windy on these two days. May I ask how much lb is your main line and your leader? Thanks

[@Thonny]

I know the feeling! I lost a tank that day. That’s part of fishing I guess. Hope you get them next time! I’m running 10lb braid and 20lb flouro leader.

[@yd3021]

​@@ThonnyI landed a decent pompano on Friday. Thanks a lot!

[@goozygooz6774]
