Are you having trouble catching fish? Using the correct fishing hooks is extremely important for fishing. It can make a huge difference in how many fish you catch! Beach fishing/ surf fishing can be challenging to learn at first, but after you learn a few basic principals, it gets much easier. Dont give up, it takes time to figure these things out.
Using smaller hooks will help you start catching more fish simply because smaller fish can fit the hooks in their mouths. Alot of times people tend to miss the fish because the hooks are literally too big to even fit into the fishes mouth.

These a good tips. But for those folks who don’t get to go every week I feel that you need to mention preparation before the trip. I can not tell you how much time I see my buddies waste setting up rods and tiring rigs and such while I’m catching fish. All because they never looked at their tackle since they got back from the last trip. Preparation is honestly one of my biggest tips to any new angler. Great to see you all out there!!

@brianyoung4868 8 месяцев назад

21:45. They cover preparation in a handful of other videos also

@peasantstimekeeper 29 дней назад

As a new angler, i cant stress this part enough! First time i went out, took me almost an hour to get everything strung up, tied, stakes in the ground, ect. 2nd and 3rd time ive been out, had everything i could possibly have ready, just had to tie rigs onto the mainline and start fishing! Less than 15 minutes of setup time. I live in an apartment so storage space for 4 rods/reels plus all the equipment and buckets isnt easy. I have to break down everything in-between trips so it doesnt take up too much space.

@iancaen2977 8 месяцев назад

I've used #2 circles for quite awhile...caught and landed everything up to 37" reds. My rod favorite is a 10' Lews crappie jig rod cut down to 9'...30 lb braid and 20 lb flouro single hook pomp rigs that I tie myself. This rig will catch 99% of what's out there. Tight lines all!

@user-dj4pq1sh6o 27 дней назад

I totally agree with you. I myself am a small-hook angler. I usually use a size #12 Kirby classic J hook and it has catched me a lot of fish. But when I go even smaller (#14 size) I catch a lot more fish and bigger as well. So yeah, beginners make the mistake of using big hooks and they might even think the size hooks I use are tiny, but that's what all these years of experience delivers. There's several fish out there with a tiny mouth such as the pompano, bluegill and tilapia to name a few. All you need is a small hook and a small piece of bait and you're all set.

@user-dm7pu7ph1x 8 месяцев назад

Hi im from south africa. West coast.the rig with the sliding sinker is al that i use. I only use 1 or 1.0 hooks. The goast shrimp that you startet to use is all that i use. If i dont get them i use blackmussel. That grouw on the rocks. We dont get the same fish here that you get there by you but fish is fish. We get blacktail all year. And summer we get stumpnose, cob, normal mackril and if you lucky yellotail. I like your videos and never mis ons. Enjoy the week.

@vjabonador1067 8 месяцев назад

Depending on legality on your state/country, you can also change from circle hooks to j-hooks / octopus beak hooks. It makes a world of difference in hookup rates.

@charlesdeleo4608 8 месяцев назад

I definitely have caught more fish with smaller hooks. I even caught a black drum on them using only crab scented fish bites and cut squid. It was 14 inches, which in NC is a keeper size. Needless to say, I dispatched it, cleaned it and cooked it. It was absolutely delicious, sautéed with olive oil, onions, garlic, butter, dill, tarragon and a splash of white wine.

@BryTunesMusic 6 месяцев назад

Nice, do you mind saying what size hook and how you like to cut the squid and fishbites? For a small hook is that just a small square or do you let the squid have a slight tail? Thanks

@ubreakitirepairit3569 8 месяцев назад

@davidmaerz2756 8 месяцев назад

The football sinker with the single hook is called the "fish finder" rig and it is what carp fishermen rely on . Glad it works for the beach as well, as well as any fresh water fish as walleye, carp of course, and perch inland.

@Andre-Nader 8 месяцев назад

Isn’t the main difference that the fish Finder normally uses a pyramid sinker to stay in place?

@sockgoblinamazingwtf6511 8 месяцев назад

In south africa we call it either a baber/catfish rig(freshwater) or a cracker/muscle cracker rig(saltwater) its my go to when at the ocean,i use it for grey grunters using size 4 and blacktail(pin fish) using size 8 and smaller hooks, if you use it around rocks, i use a torpedo weight,that 1 that looks like 2 bullet sinkers back to front

OpNoticed the same thing switching from #2’s to #6’s in the same Owner Mutu Lights. I get a lot more hook ups BUT big fish get caught way farther inside the mouth. Sometimes in the rounds or gullet. Bought the 6s to try for minnows on crappie. They work for everything including huge fish. Your shirt is bad ass! I want one!!!!!

Oh good test that day when you were fishing would’ve been half of your rods with your normal hooks that you use and then the smaller number to hooks you might’ve just hit a very good day when everything was biting but this was a very good tip to be aware of to downsize your equipment sometimes

Previously i use heavy set all the way because im not go for small fish. But i changed to light set this year. everything rated below 20lb. Rod reel line Accessories. And its really more fun more challenging and more fish.

A tip to use a lot less bait elastic is to finish with 2 or 3 Wraps around the hook shaft to finish it off. 6 or 7 Wraps around bait then 3 around shaft will keep it tight around the bait without tearing it but also really secure around and easy to snap the elastic. Nice vids

@martyadams3915 8 месяцев назад

Catching big fish or any fish for that matter especially in the surf its not so much the size of your terminal tackle as it is the quality of your drag and the experience of the fisherman using it. I have caught little whiteing on a number 1 circle hook and turnned around and caught 40 pound red drum on that same hook. The only fish that gives me hook troubles is sharks and sometimes big rays. The sharks will braraid the hook and it can break and the rays break hooks no matter the size i think i have broken and stretched more hooks on rays than anything else.

@shaugnmetapsi 8 месяцев назад

It's a fine balance between trying to catch everything versus knowing what fish you're targeting, and the hook size to use given the size of fish you want to catch. Too small and the problem of gut hooking arises. I'd rather lose a bit of bait and catch the size and type of fish I want than trying to get it all. Win some lose some.
