Welcome to my salt water fishing adventure channel dedicated to like minded fisherman all over the world. My name is Derrick Pope. I've been a fish angler ever since I was 11 yrs old and is very passionate about fishing. I love creating great stories that people can resonate with and up lifting. Being a passionate fisherman and professional videographer, allows me to marry both hobbies together for creating great fishing adventure footage and tutorials for your learning enjoyment . My goal is to inspire you to get out there and get hooked on fishing for reel. Life is too short! So get out there and enjoy all the blessings that mother nature has to offer. Hope you enjoy and thanks for checking out my channel.
UV blues & greens down deep. Although when bottom fishing down between 100-300 ft Ive had great success with gold/chrome buctails with a squid head on the hook (3/4 oz size for its stout hook made by Spro). Everything hits this - all rockfish & lings too.
Great video. Will be in Florida at the end of the month for some fishing. Coming from San Diego, CA. I love fishing that pier every time I'm there . Hopefully the fish cooperate.
Great video! I love catching mangrove snapper. I use cut mullet and have no problem limiting out every time. Mullet is better than shrimp imo bc shrimp come off the hook too easy. Mullet stays on for so much longer while the fish are nagging at it
Thank you again for a great instructional video. I'm about to move to the east coast and will be able to fish again for the first time in over 25 years. So much has changed and trying to relearn everything I used to know is daunting.
you do beautiful work! but as a retired commercial fisherman who made my own jigs and seawitches for years, the fish don't need that perfection. but i respect the heck out of your work.
Thank you for explaining the whole idea to us.I like that.Wish you the best with your fishing and wish you more.Whatever you call it the followers. Stay happy young man
I have fish the intracoastal in Fort Lauderdale for years. My go to bait for Mangrove snappers. Is silversides. Break them in half and use a small hook with a light knocker rig
Super helpful information and well explained with a calming voice with ways to use the information. As an educator of 20+ years this is the type of content I’m looking for. Seeing the big fish videos are great. But this, your jigs video and your knots videos were super helpful. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Absolutely! And great question. My favorite braid to leader knots are the Uni Knot and the FG Knot. I like the Uni because it’s quick to tie and is a good strong dependable knot. I like the FG knot because it doesn’t snag on the eyelets of the fishing rod when casting as the Uni knot sometime does. And It’s also a very strong dependable knot. You really can’t go wrong with either of these two knots. Tight lines my friend👍🎣🎣🎣
did you walk to caledisi island from honeymoon island beach? just trying to figure out how to get there. My family is going the end of may and would love to fish for pompano.
