The first three pictures are of a searobin. I’ve only caught one or two of them here in Florida, but we always caught lots of them off of the Jersey shore.

Beautiful

I’ve caught them on spinner baits, and a few different crawdad hard baits.

Do you have a link to it? I’m not the best when navigating a computer.

Live shrimp. Everything likes shrimp. Try a knocker rig or a fish finder rig. Live lining a shrimp with just a little split shot works well too. I’m not a fan of circle hooks, but that’s just my opinion. Don’t use too big of a hook. I usually use 1/0 or 2/0. If the only thing biting is Pinfish I scale down to a size 1 or 2 hook.
Good luck 🐟🎣

I’ve been using chicken legs and thighs. Also used ground fish chum blocks. I’m planning on going in the evening one day next week. The traps I’m using are four door folding traps. I’ve been trying it during the day. I’ll let the traps sit for about 20 to 30 minutes and then check them out. I’m fishing while the traps are out. I’m hoping to get a skiff soon. Once I have a boat I invest in some traps that I can leave in the water.

Hi, I’m looking for information about where to go to catch blue claw crabs in the Venice area. I’ve tried a few places and so far have only caught one blue claw crab and one stone crab, both of which were too small to keep. Also caught a spider crab, lots of critters in shells, and quite a few small fish. I’m using folding traps. The kind where the four sides lay open when the trap hits the bottom and they close when you pull them up. I’ve read that the crabs are most active after dark so I’m going to try my luck one evening soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙏

I’ve fished the north jetty in Nokomis a few times recently. We caught a variety of fish but everything is small. The only fish that had any size to them were the Jacks. Hoping the larger fish start showing up as the weather cools.

Good is a relative term, but I would find one online and try fishing it. You might be pleasantly surprised. If it’s not up to your liking cross it off the list and try another.

Google fishing piers near me, or near (name desired location). It should produce a list of piers for you.

I can’t help you with that but in case you’re not aware, there are some new rules in place for fishing out there. Everyone over the age of 16 must watch a presentation online and then take a short test. You must score 100% on the test. Once you pass the test you’ll receive a certificate via email. It’s mainly focused on how to cut down on birds getting hooked and what to do if you do hook one. Best of luck out there. 🎣

Nice flounder. Congratulations young man.
Tight lines 🎣

Those are some amazing shots. 😲😲😲
Thanks for sharing. ❤️

I caught plenty of Snook on the South jetty using live shrimp and/or white bait. There are usually Greenbacks, Threadfin, etc that can be caught with a cast net. Good luck and tight lines. 🎣🎣🎣
