Dude releases more keepers in a day than I catch in a month. I might need to go hunt some fiddler 🦀.

Notice nobody else around him he's fishing primo areas by himself with no pressure then comes on to RU-vid and makes it look Uber easy

@joegrande4848 Год назад

If you can't get any fiddler crab you can always get a soft plastic from savage gear that'll be realistic looking an get some proline attractant spray in creyfish frog an nightcrawler which is awesome to use. It helps attract fish.

@Pays2Win 3 года назад

Seems like fiddler crabs work pretty damn good.

Long, long ago, when my father would take my brother and me pier fishing in the Galveston area, sheepshead were considered trash fish. That was true of pretty much everything besides specks, reds, and flounder. We might keep the occasional large whiting, but we threw back a lot of good-eating fish. I didn’t find out sheepshead were good to eat until I was a grownup!

@tabishnazar3971 3 года назад

Now I go to Galveston pier few times a year but i cant catch sheepshead.

@danl.909 3 года назад

@@tabishnazar3971 They’re popular now, so may not be as common as they used to be. Also, Elias makes catching any fish look simple!

@davidsteer8142 3 года назад

I hear where you are coming from Dan. Here in Australia, I threw a whole lot of ‘rubbish ‘ fish over the side while in pursuit of more desirable species. 30 years later, I quietly curse myself for those ‘bad’ days of yesteryear when all we caught was ‘rubbish’ and came home empty handed when we had a good feed but poor knowledge. Today, I still love catching the classic edibles, but I don’t mind catching yesteryear’s ‘crap’.

When I was a kid, first time ever going to the ocean, my dad took me on a fishing trip. First day was on a smaller boat in the bay and the second and third days would be in the Gulf Stream on his friends big charter boat. Well the first morning at the docks I asked about all the tiny crabs handing around amd if fish would eat them. The guide said fish would eat them and if I caught one then he would let me use it for bait. My eyes lit up. I went to WORK. I found a net on a boat and asked to borrow it. I chased those crabs everywhere. 😂 I ended up catching a couple dozen and we had the best day catching those sheepshead fish.

I believe you can catch fish on bare hooks at this point. Always killing it. Love it man keep it up you’ll be at a million subs in no time!

@Jonathan.D 3 года назад

My dad was a captain and I grew up at a marina fishing for sheepshead. The best crabs to use are those little black ones that hang on the pilings. We would freeline a crab on a #2 gold hook. Those sheepshead just can't ignore a crab.

@stephengreenfeld6006 3 года назад

That was cool to see the puffer fish like that.

@thegamingfish547 3 года назад

Here in the Florida Panhandle we use Fiddlers all the time throwing them on a small hook and no sinker and letting them drift under the docks. Almost always produces red fish and sheepshead it’s a great time on light tackle. I prefer them over mud crabs

@yunengdahl3675 3 года назад

I am down at North Topsail island all this week and can’t get nothing much to bite. Shrimp on the bottom Croakers and pin fish. Had one good Speckled trout on the dock I lost cause I didn’t use the net on. Been real slow and can’t put any kind of pattern together. Not giving up and have my Kayaks with me. Tight lines Brother.

@robbiondo7922 2 года назад

Good stuff thanks. If Fiddlers aren't your favorite sheep bait, what is?

@moonsmilelucide 2 года назад

If you gonna throw the fish back would like to see it treated a bit better, like the one you leverage your pliers on its eye to get the hook out was a bit meh. Ah well maybe im just to sentimental, I would probably put some soft mat on the floor as well so they damage themselves less. But great footage you inspire me to go out and get a kano to fish myself, greetings from the Netherlands.

@dbettis6477 3 года назад

I miss living in Wilmington NC. 1 spot you can catch 5 different species not even moving to a new spot. Things are much different here in So Maryland fishing wise you have to bounce around and still maybe catch just 3 species

Hey Elias, I live in the area as well and wanted to know what you look for when you’re fishing docks for sheepshead and drum? Do you prefer docks closer to inlets? Awesome video by the way.

@EliasVFishing 3 года назад

The biggest and most structurally complex docks will always be the best.
