Location: Pinellas Point | Deep-Water Docks Provide Shade
By MIKE ANDERSON
Posted August 14, 2008 by The Tampa Tribune
The weather definitely tested our will this week. Lots of breeze and again plenty of rain. The fishing stayed pretty consistent, with good numbers being caught.
By far our best bite of the week came on the deep-water docks. Nice schools of slot-sized redfish rolled into some of my favorite summertime Tierra Verde docks. These docks provide great cover and a nice bit of shade to keep the water a little cooler. Also, with these docks being in 5 to 8 feet of water, they provide another sanctuary from the heat.
We had our best luck on Berkley Gulp Shrimp in new-penny and molting colors fished on 1/4-ounce jig heads and worked slowly. Be sure to take your time and work the whole dock.
Captain Chad Manning reports an excellent pompano bite on the Bay area bridges from the north to the south. Doc’s Goofy Jigs, 1/4-ounce in yellow, have been doing the trick. We also are getting good reports from Cockroach Bay.
Captain Greg McCullough reports the snook bite has been steady with 22- to 28-inch fish. Not a lot of big bruisers, but there are plenty of fish to be had. His best bite is coming in the morning on the last of the incoming tide. They are eating white baits floated under corks.
If the weather will allow it, there are still monster schools of Spanish mackerel working the middle of the bay. Just drive around until you see the birds. Silver spoons, Gotcha plugs and live baits all will work.
Catch captains Billy Nobles and Mike Anderson on the “Reel Animals Fishing Show” on Saturdays from 6:30-7 a.m. on WFLA, Channel 8, and on Sundays from 8-10 a.m. on WHBO, 1470 AM. To book a charter, call 1-866-GAMEFISH or visit www.reelanimalsfishingshow.com.
