See anyone catching macks? MAN  I wish I didn't lose so many Gotcha's yesterday... got cut off multiple times and the macs were really not staying glued. I'd say I hooked up on about 15 macs and lost each one before I could get it over the rail. Dolphin got one, and they were shaking loose mostly. I don't usually have that problem so I guess they got smart. There were many other macs caught while I was there. |

I hope those reels have a baitrunner or that's an excellent way to lose your rod and reel.

Lucky for me, all my rod and reel set ups that I bring with me are cheap and I really "use" them so well worn, I do adjust the drag down a lot so I wouldn't be devastated if I lost one. However I have had dolphins and sharks run off with my bait and haven't lost a rod yet (knock on wood) |

It’s been a right proper LONG time since I’ve been to the Skyway and going to take advantage of the (hopefully) good fishin’ tomorrow. Are the hours like usual (24/7)?!?! I can’t get a straight answer and I’m in Hardee County. Hate to drive over at 3 PM and have to just turn around early. Thanks guys! I’ve been lurking here forever, just never post. 👍
