Aquafinatic and I headed out for some skyway fishing at 1:30pm or so...our plans were to hit up the north pier in search for bait. We setup a sabiki, and in no time, felt the tap-tap...fish on! Upon reeling up our first batch of bait, it was a lone squirrelfish...ended up cutting em up for bait to try for pinfish. After an hour or so of squirrelfish, i started getting little fustrated...where were all the pinfish! Aqua tried another spot, and told me the mackeral were on the chew...time for some mackeral action. The action was nonstop...there was a couple next to us that couldn't get a bite, so i showed them how to rig up there poles, and gave em some bait...they instantly hooked up :) We got plenty of mackeral, so we decided to try for the pinfish one more time...again, nothing. Now, aqua, pucky and I headed to the southpier to try our luck on pinfish...still a no show but the threadfins were abundant. Met up with josh and stephanie and tried for grouper on what bait we did have. Pucky got rocked, aqua got 2 or 3 shorts, and I got a dolphin haha Later tried for some shark, and had my 10/0 hook straighten, and josh had one on, but lost it too. In the same area, stephanie lost a nice fish, possible a tarpon, that ran straight under the pier. After pranking each other, as always (hmmm, a ladyfish ate my bait, then died??? look, someone jumped a big tarpon...zzzzzzzzzzzz, then some more zzzzzzzzzzzzzz haha you had to be there to understand) it was getting late and decided to head out. Not as productive as our pasted trips, but as always, good to be out with good friends, on a beautiful full moon night.
