I was looking on the message board of the North Skyway Fishing Pier today. Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, silver trout, grouper, and sharks are all being caught. Spanish mackerel are providing the majority of the action. The best time to fish for them will be in the morning, late afternoon, and around tide changes. Small silver spoons, Got-Cha plugs, and live bait will get them to bite. The bay side of the pier, on an incoming tide, will be the best place and time to get a kingfish. Greenbacks and small blue runners are the best bait. Silver trout should be in large schools. Find the school and you will have non-stop action using live shrimp and Luvs-Lures. Grouper are in the rock piles. A stout rod and reel, combined with a live pinfish or greenback, will catch grouper.
