went on party boat this weekend and saw 3 red snapper caught, no gags. Only other fish kept were grunts and a couple hinds. Upon returning walking down charter row and out of the twenty or so charter boats I saw no gags caught. Plenty of red snapper and lots of red grouper even a lionfish but no gags. That surprised me!

I got 2 scamp in the 26 - 28" range and my buddy for 1 in that range as well. It was wild. As for the gag, there weren't that many in the 160 - 310 ft range. Guess they are in closer to 100' |

Watch Hubbard’s YouTube videos. They have been limiting out on red snapper and catching a lot of gags and mangos. I’ll be on the 39hr trip the last weekend of June.

Not a lot of gag. My trip have maybe like 7 gag total with 40+ people. A lot of red snapper, limit out plus some more... so everyone get their limit. Mangrove are hard to limit out. I got about 10 and my gf about 15. People who know what they are doing get closer to 20. |

Here is the description of this particular forum.
"Skyway Piers Fishing Forum
Mainly Skyway fishing. Reports from anywhere are welcome. Dont forget the pic's"
Then again maybe I'll start an offshore forum when I have time.

This is a pier forum, not an offshore forum.....find a new stchic I have noticed that most people that post label their threads clearly where they have fished, so I don't see a big problem. Some people have had issues with comparisons between the huge fish with offshore catches versus often meager pier catches. Sometimes that bothers me as well. |

When someone starts a Thread, The Person will state whether it is Pier or Off-Shore or in Your Pond or Pool or Bathtub. Many of Us do it. Let's not discriminate. We are proud of our Catches. This is a Good & Great Forum & This is Tampa Bay. You don't need to change a thing. Havetofish, why start another Forum ? Most of Us are Too Old to Change Now ! Or do I have to Mention Names of those who are over 55 or 60 ? Let's Fish, Report Our Catches with Pictures & Party On !  |

This is a pier forum, not an offshore forum.....find a new stchic I have noticed that most people that post label their threads clearly where they have fished, so I don't see a big problem. Some people have had issues with comparisons between the huge fish with offshore catches versus often meager pier catches. Sometimes that bothers me as well. which is why I stopped posting reports here. unless otherwise prompted or to share in an already established offshore thread. When this board was started as a spinoff from Big Mikes old Skyway Piers Messageboard its founder Goindeep Steve encouraged us all to post reports of a l l our trips. Rather it be Ice fishing or catchin Bluegills from a cow pond. These days sadly the forum is inundated with controlling bitter old trolls who are basically just jelous of others success and hell bent to piss on their fire. To me personally the next best thing to actually fishing is to talk or read about fishing. Rather it be a protected species with a limited season or Spanish Mackeral. As Seabird pointed out most if not all threads are clearly labeled as to thier subject. Even those of massive "easy" catches of "starving" offshore fish. (love that one) If you dont wanna read it its real simple. Just Dont. Dont Point Dont Click Just Dont Look pretty simple really. Let others have thier fun too. This is why I prefer Social Media where everyone is responsible for thier comments, because everyone knows who everyone is. Instead of a bunch of Keyboard Cowboys hiding behind the anonimity of a stupid handle. I would venture to say 99 percent of the bullshizit would stop if these conversations were taking place in person or if we did away with the stupid fn usernames and evryone was held accountable. Ok- down off the soapbox. Wishing everyone a fun and fish filled Summer 2019. Its gonna be epic! Fish On Folks |

yes I am still alive and kicking
Haven't had a lot to report so just been mostly reading but this discussion has prompted my reply
1) well said MM and Skyjay
2) many of the "Pier" fisher peoples do and have gone on party boats
I remember about filled the Two Georges a couple years ago with pier rats
3) posting news / reports on local boats should be encouraged as people can decide when it may be time to spend some hard earned cash on a boat trip
4) I got some good cheese for ya whine

Skyway Proboards is a Great Information Based Fishing Forum. Yes, it is a Skyway Based Fishing Site but really, let's not just stop there. Skyway Proboards has Information that You don't find in Books, Newspapers or on Facebook or whatever site You may belong to on the Internet. To Me, Whether the Fish comes from the Skyway, Fort Desoto, Sarasota, Pasco County, Hernando County, Bokeelia, Naples or Inshore or Offshore, "It Makes No Difference". The Fishing Information is in Our Threads and Our Posts else You can PM the Person who caught the Fish and ask them more Information about the Catch. We All Share Our Catches with Pictures & sometimes How & Where We caught our Catch. To those who are not catching certain Varieties of Fish, this is a Great Learning Tool on How, When & Where to Catch the Fish. No One Else may tell You that Information, but most of Us on here do. The Fish We All catch at the Skyway are everywhere else too, not just the Skyway. Many of Us travel to other Places to catch fish like I mentioned above. As SkyJay said, "If you don't wanna read it, its real simple. Just Don't." FISH ON !  GOOD LUCK TO ALL & FISH ON & FILL YOUR BUCKETS & COOLERS WITH ALL OF THOSE TASTY SEAFOOD TREATS ! Red Lobster doesn't even come close to what is on Our Menu ! |
