Wow amazing to see you hook up with some fish there and I didn’t go today because I was hesitant if they were gonna have anything lol 😂, btw what time range were you out there at?
Does being enrolled in the marine fishing registry counts as a fishing permit in this area? I was watching this place and there’s a sign saying that you need a fishing permit to be there. Sorry I’m not that familiar with permits and licenses in NY.
hey, not too sure. I get permits through the DEC depending on the state. NY has a DEC website you can get permits from and is required to fish from this pier. They do check sometimes so its best not to risk it
The drag was not set correctly and sometimes I will do that to get a feel of how I need to adjust it without turning the dial. Turning the drag dial while fighting a fish can be a no no because drags can slip and you can lose the fish from lack of tension
Weather and tides, moon phase. I spend a ton of time prepping fishing trips dialing it all in beforehand. It doesn’t always work out, but pattern fishing is how my brain breaks it down and is very productive
Now that's a nice day had! Catching at a few diff spots. A few diff species! Thanks for taking us along with ya! I frequently use that rig also. The bucktail tipped w sand eel. What size bucktail was that Bob? 1oz or less?
Hey! Yeah I love spot hopping with the waders. Thank you for watching bud, this was a 1/2oz bucktail im pretty sure. Probably could’ve gotten away with 1/4
That happens, especially as the waters warming on the new and full moon. Current moves the seaweed around. Try the ocean side if its bad like that or the river
Hey Steve hope you are doing well. Some anglers in NYC get mad at me when I mention spots so it’s just easier to avoid it. I’ve been confronted in person about it and don’t want to get bullied anymore. Hope you understand
@@BobAquatic i cant believe someone confronted you in person about that. As far as I know you do a good job of not mentioning spots. I dont quite get these dudes that get so bent about spot burning. Public beaches are out there for everyone to enjoy. Keep doing your thing! I've got your back Bob! Hate F***ing Bullies!
