BIG FISH ate my LIVE SHRIMP! (Catch and Cook) Epic Beach Fishing 

What's your favorite fish you've caught so far this summer?? 🤔🎣 This might be my favorite day so far!

Ur spikes need to be way deeper. Like atleast 1/3 of the spike. No mallet needed. Look up beach umbrella setup. Same process. Love the surf fishing videos. Expand your baits beyond shrimp. Cut baits, mole crabs. Clams. Squid mix it up. Also I made sand spikes with a 4ft section of aluminum L shaped metal. Believe it was 2x2in. A few hose clamps and a 5-6in section of 2in pvc pipe. Slides right in and holds tight.

Much respect to ya for using selective harvest!

You gotta get a rubber mallet for your rod holders hammer them in a good way.

For your pompano fishing you should try adding floats for your hooks, they really help with the presentation of your bait

Would love to see more surf and jetty fishing, especially whenever you're back in the north east!

I surf fish a lot and some things that help a lot are things like picking up a short scrap piece of 2 by four or wood from a store that cuts them and a cheap rubber mallet. I use that all the time to hammer in my sand spikes because fish will yank your poles and spikes down easier than you'd think if you don't. Putting red or orange beads above your hooks are great for getting pompano attention as well as other fish as the red looks like clams or sand flea eggs! I can also see you had a trough by you by watching the wave action and the best spot for pomps is in that trough, especially right where the outer waves crash down and smooth back out OR right behind where they crest in the distance as that is where everything gets stirred up. They can also be inches to only a foot or so from the shore depending on the wave action! If you got a trough near shore I've caught pomps and whiting and even red and black drum 6 inches from the shore at the edge of the wash. They will patrol the wash edges for crabs, clams, baitfish, and sand fleas. There are a few videos online about how to read the beach to find structure and they are well worth watching! An empty looking beach can have a ton of structure without you knowing it and the waves and current can tell you a lot! Like the mentioned outer waves cresting further out from the shore then crashing down and smoothing out shows a second sandbar and a trough! Change my surf fishing for the better to learn reading the beach and my catch rates went up a ton! Edit: I almost forgot something else! If your shrimp pieces aren't getting bit, peel the shells off! For some reason peeled shrimp can make a huge difference! I can have shell on pieces not get hit but catch dozens of whiting on the peeled shrimp sometimes, its strange but it works.

love the beach fishing videos!

Whenever I surf fish little popcorn shrimp and put it on one single hook and throw it out there as far as you can and usually when you do that you'll catch some nice size bull whiting

if you fill your spool fully with line you can cast a lot further

For the ocean surf. You want to use cut bait like mullet Unless you're going for pompano. Then you can use chunk shrimp. Sand flea fish bites.

I feel your pain about forgetting things. Ive learned to have all my lures and tackle and poles sorted beforehand. I have so many lures, tackle and fishing line i could start my own basspro. Lol 😆 🤣

A rubber mallet is a great tool to help get the rod holders down in the sand. Lightly hit it and it will drive it down in the sand.

My husband was there early that morning. That access is his spot for fishing! He would love to meet up if you go back!

Well done. That's a good day of surf fishing!

Amazing vid, the saltwater vids never get old. I love surf fishing personally and I would love to see more 👍

i love you videos man. keep up the great work and thank you for entertaining us!

Nice catch sir! Surf fishing is so much fun

Love the surf fishing catch and cooks

Maybe try putting a cast cover over your boot so you don’t have to worry so much about the tide getting your boot soggy? We used one when my son broke his leg-he could sit on a float in the pool in his cast with one of those on 😜

Mannn that first speck would’ve ate gooooood buddy

Bass and catfish are my favorite I caught this summer

Specks are one of the easiest fish to clean and some of the best tasting also! IF those trout are biting on the bottom, then you would of really got them on a popping cork, if you could of got in the water.

"Chef", you threw the big one back, and cooked a piece of the smaller one. You also cookem the same way. Live a little😂! Did look good though.

I think it’s great that you let the bigger ones go because if that fish is a breeder, that gives you tons more that size potentially next year. Not that there’s anything wrong with keeping giants but sometimes it is better to just let them live on. Not just because of breeding but their meat can often be like way more fatty just because of how huge they’ve managed to get. Great video as always and hope your foot is doing better today

I'm all about the catch and cook videos.

Love These Videos!😊

Beautiful water color!!!

Love your videos keep up the great work

Yes sirrrr almost CERTAIN I got first anyway great vid as always love watching all the vids no matter where your fishing

Appreciate your vibe, dude!

Dude your friggin awesome, love your content! You should do more surf fishing when that foot is healed!

Love the surf fishing, but can you do some creek fishing

Rubber mallet to slam in those rod holders is a must man. You hook into a big ray or shark and those boys are goners

Use the sand spike like a shovel, shovel in deep then stick the sand spike in. Then cover over with sand

Happy 4th of July Weekend Mike !!!! Nice lookin trout bud and pompano !!!!

Nice trout catch. Regarding surf fishing, it’s always good to scout the breakers and look for troughs between them or even in the swales near the beach. You be surprised how many fish are in that wash. Especially the whiting. Regarding your rod holders. I usually drill a hole through the bottom horizontally and put a long sturdy bolt through it so I could push it down with my feet and work it in deeper. Beats hammering it in.

Slip weights, or knocker rig, and sand fleas, squid, cut fish, shrimp, crab pieces or small crabs, or live shiners of any sort will work. I use 40lb test with a steel leader, at least a 1/0 hook. When bridge fishing, I use 80lb test with a leader of steel, or 100lb mono. IMO squid is the best, because it is a tough bait that little fish can't steal easily.

Pompano: salt and lime and that’s all you need. My favorite salt water fish!

Great content. Good catch

I enjoy your videos lovely job God bless you amen

You should get a rubber mallet to hammer those rod holders in. It's all I've ever used and haven't once had a fish pull the roof or rod holder out of the sand

I’m so happy for you that you finally caught your first Florida pompano!

You should definitely do more sea fishing mate nice catch

For setting the sand spikes stick them in the sand (wet sand) and put you mouth over the open end. Suck air in and it will sink the spike 10x deeper than you though possible. It only works if there are no open holes in the spike because it creates a vacuum. Yes it looks funny but it works.

wooowwww great brother ,,,. greetings from Indonesian anglers

I would of kept that trout and ate it. With some home fries or fried red potatoes in oil yummy 😋 with lemon and pepper for the trout. Then a quality Guinness pint with it ❤😊

I like to space my surf rods out. Close, mid and far, depending on what I have. Then i just use chicken/high low rigs. I usually use fishbites then cut bait depending what I am going for. Then sit back and relax while I wait for the fish to come through. If you ever have the chance to fish destin I highly recommend it. Wonderful fishing, surf, pier and intercostal.

Boom boom bah pa bah lol

When i go beach fishing 🎣 i use a spoon on one rod n the other rod i use pompano rig wit shrimp 🎣👍

I love your videos

I've only went surf fishing four times and have always caught my limit on perch. I use a Carolina rig what's 2 oz egg weight sinker and a 3 ft leader line with Berkley sandworm size 4 hook. Just cast it out and slow real. It's never boring cuz you're not bait and waiting.

love the content man! keep up the great work❤

Because of how the line is tensioned on the larger rod, the line has a tendency to vibrate with the movement of the water. If the tide is strong enough it may be enough to throw fish off the bite. Try putting your bait on the other side of the weight if one rod is producing and the other is not.

U should fish Jacksonville beach pier

you should throw a flashy spoon very fun in the surf

You'll find out later in life that surf fishing is really fun I like to be mobile where I can chase the bait you get exercise and dinner seems to me like you're having pretty good luck so keep it up great videos

Well with the rods you have and the bites on the Carolina rig both rods would be Carolina Riggs with smaller one a lighter weight and long one heavy weight and cut mullet on big rod and live shrimp on the small rod And also bring a rubber mallet to beat your sand spikes in the ground

Stoked you let the big one go. You definitely picked the right size fish to eat.

I died when i seen that reel sitting in sand like that mike. Heart attack aside. Great trout!! (Is that a penn prevail II? Ur big rod)

What a gator that was! Haven't tried surf fishing cause I only have inshore set ups so I can't even imagine trying to cast with a 12ft rod 😂 I'd end up taking those parasailers out lol I enjoy the surf videos but any inlets or inshore salt stuff to mix in too would be cool

You should try new symrina beach florida south of Daytona shark bite capital of the world

Your running ledger rig is perfect for short distance cast and your two hook flapper rig is about the same but if you buy one where you can clip it down they can cast way further with out getting tangled but what your doing and how your doing it, is perfect like you said there is so many different ways to fish and everyone of them can catch fish

Congratulations

Not first but always here!!!!

in Delaware you can overcast the fish. most the fish are going to be just past the breakers or even in the wash.

I use the casting version of that penn prevail 2 rod. Really love the back bone in them

very nice, my friend

Bro at the beginning of the video I seen your foot and was like damn he’s got one square ass shoe on lol. Love the videos man I almost lost a rod last year in Delaware on 3R’s beach about a 40lb ray

I have fished off the beach many times around St Petersburg and Clearwater, Florida and I've caught some nice fish. I usually go to the piers and bridges and throw the castnet for greenbacks and mullet first, but I've used shrimp in the surf to catch big reds, snook, tarpon, ladyfish, spanish mackerel, snapper, and I've even caught blacktip shark off of mullet. I think you would've been much better off using live fish as bait instead of shrump, but you never know.

Vid 13 of asking to do a deep sea fishing vid. Nice catch

More surf fishing please! I’ll sub!

Put your sand spike in side to side. Front to back will have more of a chance of being pulled in!

For those big rod holders I need a mallet to hammer them down

I guess the only thing I've liked this year a lot is the walleye I caught in the spring I did catch a smallmouth last week but not very big

Hi I like your videos there nice have a nice day 😊

Love you videos man. What setup are you using?

w content fr😁

Hey I love your videos just one tip is that you can use sand fleas and you can catch a bunch of fish off the surf love your vids😊😊😊

How bout u try fishing in Tampa Bay or St Pete's Beach the gulf of Mexico since your in Florida just giving you some options.

I surf fishing myrtle beach at the State park and jetty at Huntington Beach State park.

You really should fill your reel up with line. You will be real sad if you hook a giant and run out of line. Just a suggestion from experience. Love your videos thank you

Spikes need to be a lot deeper, but great video!

Use cut shad or mullet on one rod and squid on the other one

Great video man keep up the awsome work hopefully one day my channel gets this much love and support

Would be nice if u did a papano mission 🎉

I happen to be at my uncles house in Delaware. Your video pops up in my notifications and he said you’re from around this area. With this said, I want to fish around here but can’t seem to find areas for it. Any spots you might want to suggest? I plan on Lums Pond early in the morning, but I’d love to check other spots too.

Next time keep the trout if it gets that sandy they usually die even as saltwater loll

❤️❤️

Havent watched the video yet but i want to see more surf fishing. Keep it up man - Fellow Delawarean

9:30 Until he finally catches his first fish

What part of Delaware you from bro? Just curious I ride through there often and was just wondering.

@FirstStateFishing yo i swear where you catch changes flavours of the fish....whether its diet or water temp or something i dont know but it does taste different.

Visit caliii !!!

Looks fun but do NOT drag your fish through the sand. Sand will remove the protective slim on the fish and also get in the gills and will kill the fish.

whats the setup? like type of line, reel and rod?

Just a thought y not put a bag on your boot leg so you can get it wet

Where do you check the regulations for keeping fish? Because i had searched it up for texas but the regulations were wrong

Man that spec wouldve been a sandwhich

👍
