Got there around 9:30am. Bait was hard to find but was able to castnet some. The boat was done getting their bait and the bait was still chummed up. So worked with the bait till 11am and our group is done. Basically all 3 of us got our limit of 5. The water was clear and there was no wind. It was very hot. Most the the snappers are at least 11" inches and goes up to almost 14". We could have gotten bigger one but we know it will be hot, so we just kept 11"+ so we can get out of the sun as soon as we can.

Got there around 6am this morning(08/12) and finish by 8am....
Bait was very hard. Lucky, the boater gave me a scoop. you needed chum to get them to the surface and together to be able to castnet them. You can sabiki them as well if you want to go that route.
The bite started around sunrise ~7am. It also sort of dies around 8:30am. My friend is waiting for it to pick back up when the bait show back up. That's probably around 12pm.

Tears, that slow tide was miserable and the bait was real tough to get. Kudos to you for still being able to pull that many limits outta that water. It seems to me like no matter what you are pretty much always able to get on the fish.

Change it up a bit this morning. Did not go to skyway but around the area. Main target is pompano. Was able to get a few and in-between boredom... saw some bait and catch them... which lead to limit of snappers. My friend also got his limit. From incoming to outgoing, catch both pompano and snappers with both tide. Snappers was caught at the same place.. which pompano was at different area. We had to search hard for them.  |

It seems to me like no matter what you are pretty much always able to get on the fish. different tide requires different way of fishing. There's no one trick to catch them all. Most people just know how to fish for them when tide is running. When tide slow down or stopped they still throw 1oz or more weight right on top of the snappers. Scare the living shlts out of them.. LOL Also I do not catch limit of snappers all the time. I usually will at least get a few if they are around but sometime they are not because of certain conditions... water too hot... or no bait.. etc. |

No idea... probably catch more fishermen than fish... imo The idea of this jighead is to hide the jig inside the bait and let it fall natural. I guess white would help blends in, but I am too lazy to color them. |
