Hey Thonny... It brings me many memories of my old fishing spots.... I am a native Tampa bay area fisherman who has been gone for a long time. Returning to fishing in the Bay area.... Just retired and bought a boat and new motor... Hope to see ya out there And maybe we can fish and share a few stories and spots... Phillipe the pirate 🏴‍☠️🎣

[@RustyReels]

I’m glad the pomps are running around here!

[@dougc.3351]

You are 1 hell of a fisherman!

[@Thonny]

I appreciate it!!

[@dougc.3351]

@@Thonny i fish the same spots you guys do. Sand key, JP, tierra verde.

[@baskiff155]

Great vid. Looks like you were fishing in the winter . Will definitely try shrimp when I come down in June. 😊

[@offworldlegacy1415]

That was an awesome video. It was great to see you guys out there catching them up

[@Thonny]

Thank you !

[@jackchn23]

Beautiful! We stay at a Air b&b on the beach across the bridge in Treasure Island! I’m going to use some of your tips next time we go!

[@Thonny]

Good luck out there !

[@ThatGuyNers1]

Do you think the is Jig would be good around gandy bridge ?

[@Thonny]

Yessir! Just watch out for the structures!

[@ThatGuyNers1]

@@Thonny thanks for response! I’d love to film a video and go fishing with you sometime. I’m moving back to Oregon in 5 months and wanna fish as much as possible and record meanwhile for my channel ! ?

[@slimpickins9124]

Nice action on the pompano. I'll be hittin' the pass tomorrow!

[@Thonny]

On 🔥

[@hafizmahmood5673]

Dude I just watched I think 4 videos of you killing it with this jig and I must say I'm a believer... Lol I have to try this when we get to st Pete Beach

[@Thonny]

Everything bites that jig! Perfect for fishing off piers and beaches

[@CurtCatchemFishing]

The bite was on fire for ya’ll boys bro! Love when it’s like that. Do you prefer incoming or outgoing tide for Pompanos? I haven’t tried targeting them yet but they look like a lot of fun I’ve gotta try it.

[@dawsonmay246]

i prefer incoming

[@redsfishing-pescarojas734]

Waiting for those Pomps to come this way! That was a big whiting!

[@Thonny]

That might’ve been my biggest whiting! Apparently they’re good eating

[@redsfishing-pescarojas734]

@@Thonny they are good eating and the bigger they are the better.

[@baskiff155]

What side of the John’s pass bridge do you like to fish more than the other or just go to the side where you find find the fish most of the time.

[@stevestory8483]

Always crushing it ! Great job Thonny

[@Thonny]

Thank you !

[@carolinasantaclaus3ho947]

Is August too hot for pompano at the pass? Thanks Heading down July 30th.

[@Thonny]

It’s worth a shot! Reall early in the morning! You might get lucky

[@bradbishop-atfulldraw7491]

What do you do when you catch. Stingray?

[@Thonny]

I try to land it and unhook it. It helps if you put the rod butt on your hip and just walk backwards with it. Try it next time you hook one!

[@RadReelingFishing]

Oh it's Pompano time, nice!

[@Thonny]

Yeah man!

[@DanTheFishMan]

Nice to see the pass clean! Good job guys!

[@Thonny]

Thanks man!

[@davescheer5038]

Dem are some nice pomp’s , and whiting is a bonus, got three last week , and a limit of mangos, with the weather change, cooler water temperatures the sheep head should be biting , tight lines guys !

[@Thonny]

Nice !

[@McDubbbbin]

so you make your own teasers with those size 4 mustad hooks you told me about? I didn't really wanna get into making teasers/fly hooks

[@Thonny]

Yes

[@VOTFilms]

Would this work for the trevally as well?

[@Thonny]

Too small for trevally

[@VOTFilms]

@@Thonny In my region, we are using Spoon to target trevally. Just wondered if this would increase the strike rate.

[@jasonbenjamin9371]

Good to see you guys killing it out there. Thanks for the vid, Thonny!

[@Thonny]

Thank you for watching!

[@accoladesecurity4726]

coming from out of town to fish this weekend any bait shop you reccomend for live bait in the st pete beach area?

[@Thonny]

Gulf to bay bait and tackle!

[@accoladesecurity4726]

thanks man much appreciated!

[@hafizmahmood5673]

Hey do you think I can buy some of those teasers you made?

[@hugojimenez4009]

Thonny what reel are you using that’s the new sustain?

[@Thonny]

That’s the new Shimano Exsence!

[@kevinlinne]

I don't know how you keep from getting hung up on all the rocks out there. Can you find sand fleas on Madiera bch right now? I thought pompano were more in the spring time. Thanks

[@RobRebholz]

I thought they were spring time too.

[@Thonny]

If the water temperature is right they’ll be around!

[@5883558]

Great video.

[@Thonny]

Thank you!! 🙌

[@jdwragg4296]

Love fishing the pass

[@Thonny]

Never know what you’re going to catch!

[@albertojimenez4092]

They were on fire with two days ago macks out with a little tip

[@frankrothe3064]

Hit your spot today. Had 5, 4 keepers saw 18 caught in the 2 hours I fished. 8 were caught with shrimp.Hit Woody's next Got 1 short pomp. Saw 4 keeper trout and 1 keeper pomp caught during the 40 minutes I was there. Water was very clear everywhere.

[@Thonny]

Nice man! 👊

[@abbeygriffin9886]

Woodys waterfront??

[@jeremywycoff781]

I wanted to work on my jigging. My question is the rod set up. I have a medium heavy 7 rod and would like to know better options.

[@Thonny]

Check out st croix triumph 7’ 6-12lb Medium action rod pair it up with a Shimano stradic 3000 or a Shimano Vanford 3000 and run 10lb braid on it! 20lb flouro leader material.

[@Thonny]

Or get the Shimano Zodias 7’ medium action rod paired up with a Shimano vanford 3000. That will be the lightest outfit you can get hands down!

[@jeremywycoff781]

@@Thonny thanks for the reply. I was just out there with my family this past weekend. Lost my goofy jig on some rocks out there. Switched to live shrimp. My current set up is a star 7 med/heavy and a static 3k. But I love the action your rod but never seen a video mention the set up. I'm about to subscribe so I'll be following you for more pointers. Thanks

[@jeremywycoff781]

@@Thonny awesome thanks for the info I will try to upgrade but just spent a bit on this other set up.

[@frankponce6369]

What time of the year did you record this video? How long does the Pompano bite hold up around John's Pass?

[@Tyler-kw9ce]

One of the most fun fish to catch on artificial!

[@wildmang9728]

What a day!! Bite was on 🔥 I need to get some more

[@Thonny]

Let’s get after em’

[@MikeJanusz]

Have you seen any Pompano at Bay Side Pier in Ft Desoto?

[@Thonny]

I haven’t yet!

[@kyekim1264]

Coming to Tampa April 4th. If you could recommend goods fishing spots. Much appreciated thank you

[@Thonny]

Passes! Jetties and piers. Basically anywhere where there’s clean water and good moving tide!

[@mikevw30]

feels like using fishbits would work well since you can still jig it normally.

[@Thonny]

Oh yeah! Worth a shot

[@danringier9595]

Where do you guys park your vehicle at the pass

[@MatLon28]

How’s September October for this spot?

[@Thonny]

Hit or miss! It’s worth a shot though. You might land a decent one but it won’t be as good as springtime
