fishing reports at pier and party boats

[soup]

I am hoping to get down to the St Pete area later this month. I'd like to get a day on the pier and a day on a party boat. I have not seen any good reports from the skyway lately. Has anyone been on a head boat lately? Maybe Hubbards or one of the ones out of Clearwater? Just wondering how the catch is out deep this time of year. When does the skyway start picking back up? Even though I haven't been down there since May, I still check this page and the reports often, and will post mine again when I am back there. Thanks to all of you that post reports and pics!

Offshore in the summer are usually much better than inshore. However there is a red tide coming... I am not sure what it'll do to the fishing.

Thinking about going on the 39 hour trip Hubbards offer any special bait I could bring. Would be great to catch a Aj or any type of grouper

Seems like the red tide will be here the beginning or mid of next month...

Use smaller hooks when you first get out the and catch some b-liners they seem to work well for the aj's
