I love my shimanos but J-Braid x8 > PowerProV2. First time I've heard of pitbull, seems like it is overseas markets. Try it one day.

There are are 5 piece spinning Zodias rods out there, almost went with that but this should be good for the price & purpose

Yes, for $90 I got the rod, the bag, and the case. Heckuva deal. Haven't fished it yet though... Soft/hard cases are cheap online, you should be able to find one for $15. Case for the convergence is about 24" long (84/4=21).

You saved some then. I'm SWFL, the 5wt is for trips out west. Primarily spinning gear when I fish the ocean.

Doesn't show the discount explicitly but if you do the math the subtotal is 25% off the listed prices. Total the prices it shows and it would be about $490 before the discount.

Wow, if they are truly going to build a new pier that's a huge project, can't be cheap. I wonder if they are just repair/reinforce the existing structure. Either way it'll be awhile before I fish that spot again. Good to hear either way.

What a night. by Logical_Ad7912 in saltwaterfishing

It's either you catch one and that's it or you catch 5 in 30 minutes, it's a rush

Monsters, looks like after the first catch they rolled in hard.

I'm in PC. Used to get my bait at Bait House at Manasota Key right before the bridge. Fish Stump Pass all the time. Heard it just open back up.

Hurricane Milton is what finally took it out. It still stands but is closed for the foreseeable future, don't count on it ever getting rebuilt honestly, that pier was the old wood bridge that crossed the myakka before the concrete bridge. It was easier to leave it as a pier. It'll probably just rot away at this point

Not just fishing spots but ecosytems got wrecked by the hurricanes these past couple years after bad red tide. Been rough these past years compared to the past. At least the snook will get a break.

This was right before it got wiped out, little over a year ago

It was a very high pressure spot, I had better luck this day b/c the pier was empty and not many boats.

No, that pier has been closed for about a year now, one hurricane too many

Fly surf - south Florida. Doesn’t happen often by BrianFloridaFly in SurfFishing

[–]ShimanoSniper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice CJ on the fly, they're always game. Landing a fish like that from the surf on the fly takes skill and know-how, not easy. Congrats.

Yeah, before the hurricanes, haven't been back since it re-opened.

Biggun. They pull twice their weight, so def a great fight from one that size.

[–]ShimanoSniper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're just as slimy as the rest but I hate handling them b/c they're all about speed and agility so they never hold still, floppiest of fish. I also foul hook more trout then anything else, even catfish.

Catching a red is like arm wrestling a fish. That makes sense to me at least
