I spoke with the North Skyway Fishing Pier in St Petersburg this afternoon. Mangrove snapper and spanish mackerel are the most common fish being caught. The mangos are mostly being caught after midnight, until the sun comes up, under the bridge and by floating your bait out to the rubble. Limits of fish from 12" - 15" are being caught on medium sized shrimp and greenbacks. Spanish mackerel are best early in the morning and late in the afternoon. They are also active during the day from 2hrs before a tide change until slack tide. A small silver spoon, Got-Cha Plug, or greenback are the best baits. There are also a lot of sharks in the area. They will eat shrimp, greenbacks, or cut bait fished on the bottom. For more information contact;
