So, you hooked a pelican, cut the line and let it fly off with all that line attached. He's probably hanging upside down in the mangroves dead now. There is a huge threat of closing the skyway piers because of that behavior

Yes, I was 16 ft. above the water line & could not get the Pelican up as he was caught up on something (couldn’t see what). No ill intent, but won’t fish there again after that. Skyway too expensive anyway, but I understand your position

Have you tried the Skyway pier and other piers in the area?

Yes, Pelican stole one off Skyway & had to cut line but tried others too…caught a few smaller ones. Thx

Thanks ANYBASS, but I’m in Bradenton on the gulf side. I haven’t fished fresh water here though. Good idea!

Never fished the west coast. Heard there's some good fishing in the gulf. Post some of your catch if you can. And how is that red tide over your way?

I haven’t heard much about red tide this year, and hope it’s kept @ bey. I have a couple of friends w/boats, but fish mostly from shore. No shortage of small shark & skates here.
