Skyway Pier Fishing Report 7-17-08

Fishing from the Skyway Fishing Piers, in the mouth of Tampa Bay, is best at night and early mornings. Lots of mangrove snapper are being caught at night and in the morning. Fish around the pylons and rocks when the water is moving. Live shrimp and small baitfish are the best baits and should be fished near the bottom. Spanish mackerel are biting early morning and late afternoon when the water is moving. They will also hit during the day when the tide is strong. Live baitfish, Got-Cha plugs, and Clark Spoons are the best baits. Some gag grouper are being caught early in the day from the rock piles. Pinfish are the best bait. Anglers on the South Pier are catching tarpon, pompano and blacktip sharks along with the snapper and mackerel.
