Day 1 – Monday, 7/1/2024
I decided to give it a try in Ft. Desoto bridge. This is the bridge after the last toll. I probably arrived there around 10AM. No luck over there so I decided to go back to Skyway South Pier.
I probably arrived at the Skyway South pier around 12PM. I think left around 4PM and took home my one and only keeper. An 11 inches.
Day 2 – Tuesday, 7/2/2024
Maybe around 11AM. My first keeper. An 11 inches. Like yesterday my one and only of the day.
Second pompano of the day. Too small. Sorry I forgot what time it was. Technology sucks. My Microsoft Windows 10 is not showing the correct date when I uploaded these GoPro videos into my computer.
Third Pompano of the day. My second keeper of the day. Also, an 11 inches.
Speckled and silver trout are biting today.
I went home after that pompano jig and two teasers vanished. That was probably 3PM. One disadvantage of having two teasers is when you get stuck down there two teasers are gone.
Day 3 – Thursday, 7/4/2024
I did not go fishing Wednesday. I needed to do some office work on my 5 days holiday off.
10:02AM - First catch of the day. A mangrove snapper. I let it go. Some people love to eat them but not my type of fish.
10:14AM - Second catch of the day. Not sure what kind of fish this is.
2:09 PM - First pompano of the day at the Skyway south pier. Almost a keeper.
2:21 PM - A catfish with little babies.
5:08PM - Could have been my first keeper. It was a little heavy. What a frustrating day for me. Tony, “The Pompano King” arrived around 4PM and caught three pompanos already. The other guy said he caught four.
I went home around 8pm with not a single pompano in my cooler. Tony caught his fourth. I am so tired jigging guys. My right hand is so numb!
Day 4 – Friday, 7/5/2024
11:12AM - Back in the Skyway south pier. My first pompano. Almost a keeper. Greenback are everywhere. I wonder. Not a single Spanish Mackerel bite today.
1:34PM - Almost a keeper. Story of my life.
1:40PM - Another undersize pompano.
4:06PM - Finally, my first keeper and my only one for today. Almost got away. Pompanos are everywhere in the Skyway south pier guys. You just have to find them. Thank you so much Ely for allowing me to share this video.
6:56PM - Ladyfish are starting to bite. Time to go home. Thank you so much for watching as always. Stay safe!
