We are still seeing a lot of Spanish Mackerel action first thing in the morning. The Macks have been hitting free-lined shrimp, small minnows, or plugs that mimic those small fish. We have also seen a smattering of undersize [...]]]> http://pier60fishing.com/2010/07/hot-summer-hot-fishing-at-pier-60/feed/ 0 http://pier60fishing.com/2010/06/warm-waters-bring-good-fishing-2010/ http://pier60fishing.com/2010/06/warm-waters-bring-good-fishing-2010/#comments Wed, 02 Jun 2010 03:06:12 +0000 Pier60Reporter http://pier60fishing.com/?p=563 Fishing is in full swing on Pier 60 in Clearwater.

Anglers were able to get out and enjoy the sunshine and catch quite a few fish. Silver Perch or Butterfish have been showing up in good numbers, and are caught either with small pieces of cut bait, or a multiple-hook rig with cut baits.

Water temperatures ranged from the low-60‘s to the mid-60’s during the month, with winds blowing somewhat more than usual. While these weather systems made it difficult to fish, some anglers were able to [...]]]> http://pier60fishing.com/2010/04/fishing-forecast-optimistic/feed/ 0 http://pier60fishing.com/2010/02/cold-weather-fishing-at-pier-60/ http://pier60fishing.com/2010/02/cold-weather-fishing-at-pier-60/#comments Sun, 14 Feb 2010 02:21:05 +0000 Pier60Reporter http://pier60fishing.com/?p=489 Fishing at Pier 60 in January has been cold. The first few days of the New Year were not bad for catching on Pier 60. Whiting, Flounder, Butterfish, Sheepshead and small Sharks were all active and hungry. The next two weeks were challenging and unproductive. Frigid arctic air cold-fronts repeatedly pushed through the area, sending both sea-life [...]]]> http://pier60fishing.com/2010/02/cold-weather-fishing-at-pier-60/feed/ 0 http://pier60fishing.com/2010/01/varied-fishing-and-weather/ http://pier60fishing.com/2010/01/varied-fishing-and-weather/#comments Thu, 14 Jan 2010 00:22:37 +0000 Pier60Reporter http://pier60fishing.com/?p=485 Fishing in December on Pier 60 was as varied as the weather. The first few cold fronts of the season pushed through bringing sea-fog, or winds and rain. In spite of the varied conditions, anglers enjoyed many days and nights of successful fishing.

Morning anglers consistently started off with Spanish Mackerel, hitting lures, live baits, and cut bait. On some days the larger fish are caught early, and fished deeper. King Mackerel are also making an appearance, with a few nice fish taken, and many other larger [...]]]> http://pier60fishing.com/2009/12/great-november-fishing-at-pier-60/feed/ 0 http://pier60fishing.com/2009/11/fishing-on-pier-60-was-hot/ http://pier60fishing.com/2009/11/fishing-on-pier-60-was-hot/#comments Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:33:32 +0000 Pier60Reporter http://pier60fishing.com/?p=424 The weather in October was sweltering, and the fishing on Pier 60 was HOT! Spanish Mackerel continue to be caught starting at first light, and throughout the day. The Mackerel feed best on live minnows caught on the Pier, but will also take a lure, live shrimp, or strip bait.
