We arrived on May 1 and I expected to be catching Spanish by now but it has been zip. The gulf has been so rough so I went to the new Anna Maria City Pier. The bay is calm and water is clear with plenty of large bait but no Spanish. Someone said they were here in April so what's going on?

Whims of nature.
I hear guys with boats are catching them just off the beaches.

I don’t believe there have been Mack’s at the SSP for a month.

Piney point hasn't discharged for almost a month.

The macks are there.. following the bait.. the small size bait is not at skyway... small pods and sometime they show up at night. Find the bait and you will find the macks... The bait that are there is the large threadfin.. AKA kingfish bait.. I am still catching a few macks here and there off of lure.
