Finally able to get out to the piers after awhile. Arrived at 7:00 and there were tons of bait in the water along with overcast conditions. Decided to start casting out to the reef for a little while with frozen shrimp and managed to catch 2 mangos, a gag grouper and a nice sheepshead. After awhile it really slowed down and I tried throwing out a gotcha plug. No Mack’s were interested in that. Ended at 10:00
An overall very slow day and I saw nothing being caught out there besides bait. Have a good day out on the piers guys and I hope you have more luck than I did.

How large it is compared to the Skyway? What do they charge to fish there. Might be worth a field trip. Any pictures of it. BTW, those Cordell spoons have great action, ordered more as snags claimed a couple at Ft. DeSoto. I even had a squid attack one. |

City also pays fishing license for pier. So tourists don't need licenses. Concessions included beer and wine. (Pizza, sandwiches, salads..etc) |

Will check Academy next time. They delivered real quick...3 days. I would guess that pier only being 1000 feet (similar to length of Gulf pier at Ft. DeSoto) can get crowded. The piers at Ft. DeSoto don't require a license. $5 fee to get into the park. |
