Sunshine Skyway Pier is Great for Grouper

I just got off of the phone with the North Skyway Fishing Pier in St. Petersburg. Fishermen there are catching some kingfish, lots of spanish mackerel, and a bunch of keeper grouper. Pier fishermen landed 13 keeper grouper after 4pm yesterday. This was all on a slow incoming tide that only rose about 8" and started with low tide at 3:44pm and ending with high tide at 9:20pm. If you go, use a sabiki rig to catch what ever bait fish is in the area. Then fish it on the bottom using just enough weight to hold it there. For more information contact;
