Same here about the vise. I need something to paint some of the popper heads I have.

You had the face right Joseph but I am good lol thanks always and a blessed day fishing to ya!

@@thomastuorto9929 Gonna do some more up this winter!

If it's spot burning its spot burning it does not matter if it's fluke or striped bass or bluefish.Bluefish are everywhere yes but it does not mean a special spot can't become overrun by people who are just because a person's real time information

No better way thank you always Thomas!

Ha! Well said I could not have said that better! Thanks always Fishingbuddy!!!

It was thrilling! But I said to myself I reckon no better way for a old rod to go and happy on the day, but a few more fish and no broken rod Id guess be better!!! thanks always Jim!

Great idea!

yea, the old broken rod! Fish like you had does hurt more less the landing. I thought it was kinda neat to get the moment on camera which made it all the more special. Thank you always Mike!

I once cracked the joint in a two piece lami made at Beckman's in my car door. Donart in Freeport made a sleeve from a piece of yellow lamiglass and wrapped it up. Voila. Still have it.

Thank you Mickey it was fun. The busted rod was exciting made a grand exit I guess. but man did they fight hard! wow, better then ever! Be rod shopping this weekend! Thanks always Mickey!

Hi Jerry, Good luck with a new rod. Take care, Mickey

Hi Jeff! The old car door! My reg rod I busted on a reg door in the winter. I guess it was hind sight lol. But you said it all right, no better way and man it would have been nice to get a few more before! Thanks always Jeff!

They could have not done a better job thanks Penn! Yes I noticed that nose! I bet another bluefish bit it off at some point my guess!!! they are extra wild this year!

My good God yes! Someone else noticed! Its like they been eating that extra bowl of Wheaties!!! But yes I did notice they are more then extra wild!!!! Thanks for bringing that up Brendan!

FABIAN!!! It was wild! the blues were wild! love that narrow skinny were they can do nothing but see in front! It does not get better! So good I ended it all with a busted rod! Love it!!! Thanks always Fabian!!! Hope all is well in SI

Yea they get nippy! Got some new ones coming all good it was fun! Thanks Jim!

Thanks Karim! One thing you can do for distance the first thing is use a smaller fly. These were pretty big poppers but I am only looking for a high bar of 70 feet. Only care about the 50-70 range. anything more you need a heavier rod or smaller flies. Stripping baskets can help as well. smaller flies I just look at a 60-80 range really dont care much more. something always is gonna cut your cast when you need it so just enjoy tossing the line and youll be hitting 90 feet in no time!!! but if distance is a primary concern, a heavier weight rod with smaller rated flies will get you distance.

learn how to haul properly

Hauling can certainly help feed some line out, but keep in mind Karim that the fly on the end with be your upper limit. To really notice what I am saying - take your fly off, then cast. You will automatically gain 20yds. The type of fly you use as well will change that number so see what different flies do and how the cast and there will be no surprises when you switch out your flies

Hi Tim! Hope you got em over and welcome to the busted rod club!!! thanks for sharing and no netter way for a rod to go!!!

@@FishYourWay This will go down in the "Fish that got away" lore.

I like the play with line hand but if you set your drag proper you know you will never exceed maximum pressure on you line but i like hand lining most the time its just more in touch with the fish good question

Love being your home away from home Paul! Thanks always and great talking to you earlier!

I think the chunks may be the best bet at night. Not sure bites change I would rotate through what I have in my bag till something found a pattern same as on the surf yellows and black of course whites

@@FishYourWay Thank you. I was able to see the big bunker up on top of the water which is why I was hoping some type of lorkhan duplicate something like that and get the bluefish to bite.

No need to. Ads unnecessary stress. Get em in and out. Feels great on the play. More control. Down to the backing, hell yea all systems and reel drag until 10yds flyline back in the reel. Its up to the fish really - and my leader. Lighter leader, less drag more line out, etc etc etc...

I like the play by hand more control if they get me to the reel I will play the reel with my palm no big deal, also mono leader so want to get em in before they may bite through the leader

This is why I work hard to find my own spots. There are millions of bluefish all over LI, go find another spot or continue to complain about spot burning your choice.

You can see the lineup from the road, it's not like this is a secret spot. I feel ur pain though

It’s no secret spot and it’s nothing special by any means either but the beauty of the place was that it was a nice quiet little sandbar that there would maybe be 5 or 6 guys at tops. After he posted the video there, now I see 15-20 guys (which I’ve never seen before) there or more a day - many of which have no idea what they are doing. I’ve been getting my lines crossed, getting crowded on either side when I hook a fish and just any other lineup etiquette rule you can name broken. We go there not because it’s a good spot, and Hell I’d even say the inlets and jetties are the better bet right now, but because it was not the same crowd of idiots you get at those places. But of course it’s been turning into that. His crowd doesn’t care about the fact it’s a quieter little spot. They just flock there when they see there are fish back there since nobody has posted a fish elsewhere. And when him or somebody does post something elsewhere they will flock to wherever that is. These kinds of fisherman just follow the herds

Oh please quit being a cry baby !

Could not be said enough and always happy to hear again and again! just one of those things we put in the back of the mind! Thanks for sharing Dennis!

Hi Scott, may look like so but its a bit more feet then the cam makes it look. I felt comfortable with my distance I was getting with a 3/4" foam headed popper. 60-70 feet, my stiff taper leader is 15ft long slightly shorter with 40-60ft line out. A lot of resistance in the air so I pondered I would not get much more with a basket and I was easily able to handle the line in the water. I felt the action was more important then distance and it seemed to work untill.... CRACK!!! Great sugestion I appreciate it heard it 2x today, I should have made mention in the video why I was doing what I was doing it would make more sense. I think I just mention I put out just enough line and should have explained more.

@@FishYourWay There is no right or wrong. Thats why its called fish your way. We share. Years ago I caught a 17 lb. blue off of the top of Meadowbrook bridge and another time same place a weakfish big enough to eat a whole bunker. I saw the whole thing transpire from when the fish came out of the shadow line. I really appreciate your channel and how you go about your business. Its helping me to get revved up again.

@@scottschlemmer4787 Wow! Now thats a weakfish!!! Yea, sometimes I do things off base i forget often to mention why I probably should make mention more often please do remind me anytime!!! Thank you Scott!

Yea they are awesome next time ok!

Give the RU-vid Googans one landmark and they’ll all flock there the next day. That being said, there are blues literally everywhere on the island, go somewhere else!

Quit your crying !

This is no secret spot bud.... You know that bridge has people all the time this time of year. Plenty of other good surf spots in the 2 mile radius

What state is this?

Quit fishing on the weekends

Man, I had no idea where this was but I was able to tell by looking at your profile and finding that this is on Long Island. Thank you for sharing!!

@@VictorF0326 That’s why you’ve been showing up there with all your googan buddies the past week I’m guessing.

I’m sure they all watched the exact video and said let’s go ruin this guy Brian’s day
