Sinker Rig Loc: Tampa area

That's how it is with macks, never know when some will move into the bay. In the summer months they will scatter and move up the bay, I've slayed them in August all the way up to the Gandy bridge. Those are macks that never left, just stayed in the bay. New arrivals will definitely hit the piers first. Macks are always moving and don't all come at once, they come in waves 'til the bay water gets to around 65.....by then most are basking in the warm Carribbean

Where is the Skyway Pier?

Cichlacat Steve Loc: FL, MO, IL

It’s officially called the Skyway Fishing Pier State Park. It used to be a bridge across Tampa Bay. But when it was replaced by the Sunshine Skyway Bridge the state of Florida tore the middle out of the old bridge and left a portion standing on the North and South shores which became the Skyway Fishing Pier North and South.
Here’s the website which has lots of great information and the directions to get there. It’s a beautiful place to visit even if not interested in fishing. The pelicans, herons, gulls, dolphins, fish, sunsets, sunrise, storms and other forms of nature always put on a show. You might even see a fisherman catch a fish or two.
It’s a shame the park agents don’t give tickets for littering. But there are park officials that enforce speed limits, catch limits, no alcohol use, and will help release birds which are sometimes hooked accidentally.
No fishing License is required but there is a charge assessed when you enter the park each day.
