What bait should I use in St.Pete Beach in mid July to early August fishing off the

[ptb093]

beach? I will be in St. Pete Beach Florida from July 24th until August 6th and I am looking to fish off the beach that my hotel is located. I will be fishing in between 6-8 am, and 6-9 pm. Also, what am I most likely going to catch?

Drive up the beach just a bit to John's Pass. You can expect to catch anything there. Trout, snook, red fish, sheep head, jack. Also, don't neglect the inter-coastal waterway. Use shrimp, live minnows (a little more expensive), or fiddler crabs.

Man, wish I was going.

Shrimp's always good anywhere in Florida's salt and brackish water. Another good idea would be to stop into a bait shop and ask what's eating what where... maybe sandfleas will pay off better for you in the surf...

live shrimp......too many different kinds of fish that you might catch to list.......good luck

oh man Johns Pass......I had forgot about that......good memories .........I used to live in St Pete also .....on the water with the skyway as a backdrop.......I miss it mucho

also the Courtney Cambell bridge is good.....anywhere on either side before you get to the bridge
