Fishing Tips (April 17-19)
Fishing Tips for this weekend (April 17-19) in St. Petersburg
By J.HOP Times Staff Writer Cael Delgado
Need something to do this weekend? Try fishing.
I fish every weekend and I will give you the tips and tricks to bring in a good catch.
So if you’re looking to fish this week, try the Skyway pier, north or south. Both provide good fights and plentiful amounts of fish. I was there last weekend and caught tons of mackerel and jacks. I even got a good-sized hammerhead shark (about 3-4 feet).
The gear that’s recommended is a cast net, a strong durable pole, lures, and hooks. For bait I recommend squid and/or live shrimp (jumbo if available).
If you’re visiting, there are highly recommended fishing groups and charters. The best places to fish are the St. Petersburg Pier and Pass-a-Grille beach.
There will be weekly updates throughout the year.
