This report is from a friend of mine, I sent some tips with him so he could take his dad fishing on the north pier. 

Not a bad day a the skyway. Caught 2 spanish, 4 grouper (small) and 5 keeper snaper. I lost two big grouper, they got me hung up in the rocks. That was a good place you showed me, there was plenty of structure and a lot of fish... It was really hot and the bite seemed to pick up after the tide change. We need to plan a trip, sometime around the first week or so of Aug. I would like to go back and catch some keeper grouper! Anyway, that's the report and thanks again for the tips!

Later
