Thanks for the advice wise grass hopper. The Bridge there is Coming along but has had a real negative effect on the fishing. I occasionally fish there and still see lots of boats fishing the channel, but the fish aren't stacked like before the construction. Ill let you know how the bait catching goes

thanks

I used to fish the Jewfish Creek area quite often. I used to find pilchards right outside the entrance to Jewfish Creek coming in from the Card Sound bridge side. There is a grass flat on the north side of the entrance where the navigation markers are. Pole off and put out a chum bag in about 3 feet of water an they will come. Never missed there. Blacked out my well in a few throws of the net. Haven't been there since the construction of the new bridge. Good Luck

I KNOW THERE IS AN ART TO CATCHING BAIT. SOME DAYS ARE EASIER THEN OTHERS, BUT LATELY CATCHING BAIT HAS BEEN HARDER THEN CATCHING FISH.

THESE ARE MY METHODS

1.CHUM AROUND MANGROVES AND SABIKI PIN FISH.

2. CHASE MULLET AROUND TILL I FINALLY NET A COUPLE.

I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE WHO FISHES IN THE LARGO/FLORIDA BAY AREA COULD GIVE ME SOME ADDVICE ON WHERE AND WHAT METHODS THEY USE TO CATCH BAIT

THANKS
