Play nice funnydude...
zam, Most of us here fish the south side more than the north, so the consensus will probably be the south pier....Bring whatever you can take with you...Id suggest a castnet if you have one, or some sabiki rigs if you dont. Catching bait is pretty easy. Also a livewell or bucket with a bubbler. Then try everything -- freelined livies, cut bait on the bottom, try under the pier and out on the rocks....maybe a balloon rig, or bait under a cork. Pay attention to the tides, they make all the difference.

Thanks goin deep and i mean i have fished here before just never did it alot. I would go maybe once a year to the north peir and never catch anything and i always hear that people catch great fish. So i was trying to figure out why i cant and start coming out to the skyway more. Sorry i had walked ellonton mall yesterday and my feet hurt and i was half asleep

You tell 'em Jay!
Hey Zam: Saw a pair of Cobia last Wednesday (7/15) near the end of the south pier. Disappeared before I could get a bait in front of them. Bigger of the two was probably 30-40 lbs

eh he was probably drunk. No need calling a punk out like that tho. Just trouble is all i say. Jest let the moderator filter it out and speak your mind.
You know goingdeep its kinda hard to find this forum, i found it off fa the wikipedia link from the skyway pier. I dont think its there anymore tho. Need to market a little. maybe a tagline on the next batch of peir rat decals.? Or other ideas...

thanks again and mangos sound fun but if i do see some cobes i hope i have the gear to handle it i dont have like a 6/0 reel or anything i think its like a 3/0 not sure but it only got 20# line and a 40# leader do you guys think that will be enough i know you guys use like 50-60# line and stuff. I am also useing 7/0 circle hooks on that rod would that be good enough for the mangos i just use a 1/0 j-hook and a small weight

its cool man i aint criticizing. Just gotta play it smart. Sure 99% of the time he aint gonna do crap but you called him out to meet. I recently walked a thin line with a dude (an old ex friend) an it coulda gone down one way, but im on a whole non fighting kick right now. Just a headache more than anything else imo. Cops love it man cuz they just fine both parties and be done with it, its a money maker for them, its not like back in your olden days like my dad likes to talk about.
Remember from on high the timeless words of one of the greatest sages to ever spread his wisdom.... Dalton: "No one ever wins a fight"....Roadhouse
lol
Oh and as i reread this i dont neglect the irony of my screen name on here

Tyler, Ive put the link on the Wiki page a few times but they keep taking it off.
surprisingly, if you google "skyway piers", this site is 6th on the list on page one. If you change it to one word, "skywaypiers", we are #4. Try "skyway piers forum" and we are the first site listed. Pretty cool.
I usually give the URL to people at the pier that I talk to while fishin. Not sure how many have registered, but ya never know. I wonder if the pier bait shops would allow a stack of small fliers or cards with the forum info on it...Of course Big Mike has his forum as well, and I wouldnt wanna step on his toes...
Ive also thought about having a couple of t-shirts made up to wear while fishin with the URL on the back...or a windshield sticker I can put on while at the pier that goes across the top
We still havent hit 300 registered users. We had 150+ the first 48 hours of being online, and over the next year weve only got another hundred and 20-something. And alot of those original members registered and havent been back since. Id like to get more people here...
Anyone have any marketing/advertising ideas feel free to toss em out.

Gotta be careful with those haircuts. I cut my hair about 15 years ago, and it got so pissed at me that it left and never came back. ;D
