It all depends, if it’s a spur of the moment I always keep my fishing gear on me so I’ll catch my own. But if I’m planning to be out there I’ll buy my bait and just chill out there till it’s time to go
Yep he missed out there big time! Good sized little ones! I’ve caught 30+ inch snook on those little mojarras 💪🏾 I usually use artificial though it’s a lot more convenient
The whiting he caught was perfect live or for that size great cut bait for the surf this time of year! Been catching giants on whiting with my spinfisher 5500
I’m from the keys now living in Delaware they have different names for things but here it’s not a baitfish it’s actually a prized fish and they love fishing with sand fleas 21:37
I'm just getting into fishing (primarily pier fishing) and your videos really have given me confidence to just go out there and have fun! I used to get so intimidated going out and looking at everyone with their fancy setups and equipment but it turns out a lot of the guys out there are always so helpful and have such good vibes, like your videos! Keep on doing what you do :)
I just found you a few weeks ago and I must say, watching you on always cheers up my mood! I'm actually going fishing over the weekend on vacation and I'm gonna use some of your tips! Thank you man! Keep up these AMAZING vids! :)
A little tip when looking for sand fleas is feel for soft spots in the sand right by the water, the sand will be slightly easier to dig through, then use a net to scoop them up while digging
In the beginning when you threw back those two silver fish: Those were mojarras, or sand perch. Amazing snook bait, I caught my PB on a live one about the same size as the one you caught. Everything devours them but most people use the bigger ones for big snook. The ones I caught I used for big trout. It pained me to see you throw them back but now you know for next time you can use them as bait. That and you should try using an egg sinker with a carolina rig and cast at the beach or near the pier with live bait. Or you can try a popping cork too/float. I hope this paragraph helps but I just wanted to let you know for next time. Tight lines
Yeah bro same. I totally agree they do make awesome bait for snook and tarpon. I usually catch a few mixed in with pin fish when cast netting around docks. And they taste pretty good too if you catch the bigger ones.
So sweet! You're one of the only big youtubers (that I have seen) which have fished so close to where I live lol. Funny how I just had dinner where you caught the mantis shrimp just last weekend! I went solo offshore over the weekend for the 1st time ever, and "hot" is an understatement. I had to come back in, less than 2 hours of fishing later, because I was worried about heat stroke. Hope to see you around the pier sometime
Bro that is a REALLY nice Penn rig. I really wish I still lived in Florida because I miss saltwater fishing SO much. I was dumb and moved to Pittsburgh.
I miss salt water fishing since I moved frome longisland new york to p.a I really enjoy your salt water videos make me miss home love to you and yours frome paul in p.a
I highly recommend a baitrunner spinning reel by penn. I used to never believe in it thinking it was always easier to tighten the drag myself. Fishing on long island I would always mess up with a big striper on the hook and either tighten the drag too tight and snap or too loose and lose the fish. Especially fishing with a sliding sinker rig with a circle hook, its been super easy just reeling down and having the drag already set to where I want it.
14:45 sand flea rake, rush the end of the wave and youll find em. A spot with a bunch will have birds and dead sand fleas everywhere on shore as well cheers 🍻
Time to come fishing on the Baja California Pacific coast, Big yellow tale, Dorado,bluefin,Rooster fish, Big Jack's, Surf fishing for Barred Surf perch, halibut and corbina, the list goes on and on, great food, great people, paradise
Hey love watching your videos and hope that you keep going at it . I would love to see a 24 hour vid or a budget vid bit I'm honestly happy with anything you post
Where in Florida are you? If you're close enough I'd suggest heading down to Jupiter inlet and trying your luck there. The water is clear on incoming tides and it's loaded with fish.
For the sand fleas, they create a little V shape in the water as the wave is retreating. Usually there will be a bunch of them in one spot and you'll see the little ripple V shape where the wave ocean as it's going back
Hey First State. Heading back old home for a visit next week. Any suggestions for fishing spots near Delaware beaches or a Indian River Inlet? Going to be “down the ocean hon.”
Dude you’re the best fishing RU-vidr ever! You’re so funny and make great content! Every time you post I am so happy! Keep up the good work man! Your future’s bright!!🤩😀
How about a video doing surf and/or pier fishing with bass gear. Out here in California a lot of guys use bass rods and baitcasters for inshore fishing.
I seen sea fleas in you camera shot. When the water receded watch for the holes in the sand with bubbles coming out and dig there right away or sometimes you can actually see them kicking sand out of that hole. That camera shot of you digging for them I could them digging right underneath you.
I live somewhere that there isn’t many spots but you inspired me to explore. I was going to give up fishing before I started watching you. And those last 4 years have been great ( and you got me to love creek fishing ) 🫡🎣
Mantis shrimp are known as Thumbsplitter shrimp in the aquarium industry because they will literally split your thumb. They've also been known to break the glass on glass aquariums. Very powerful little creature.
I hope you stick around a while longer, NE Florida's best fishing is about to happen. September - December will go off! You got my like for the mantis!
Bro in Florida any baby fish is bait … it always has been on my boat… I do let some go bc I’m not always looking for a live bait fish lol. But you totally should’ve used those little ones as bait like 1000%
