I’ve been fishing close to 60 years and I always use rods according to the wind. Tiny rods are perfect for streams and ice, 5-7 ft rods are perfect for lakes, and 7-11 are perfect for surf fishing, including the Action, but anyone one of them can be used for any of the places mentioned. I go by the weather, all depends on the waves. It’s not whether you can catch a fish with a cheap rod and reel, just like any bicycle is good to ride, but there’s street/ road bikes, gravel bikes and mountain bikes for a reason. It’s all about making the experience, enjoyable. I no longer buy $1K setups. Now I just want to spend time fishing, and not catching anything at all doesn’t bother me a bit. But I still get good ratio reels and good amount of bearings. I don’t like cheep reels that wobble. Heck, the most fish I’ve ever caught and the most fun was as a kid in Mozambique when all I used was a bamboo stick and string tied to the tip.
Na verdade, uma experiência que o moço fez. Este é o negócio dele, nem será grande pescador. Também sou de Moçambique e gostava de ver o jovem às voltas com umas garoupas ou umas bicudas como as que pescava quando lá vivia. Ainda tenho canas que lá utilizava, sendo a melhor uma Fenwick PS120 emparelhada com um Mitchell 498...
You guys are the best. Love watching you fish!. My husband said I can't use my little rod on the beach. So, thanks for proving hem wrong. Nice going!!!🎣
I grew up in Brandon, Florida, but I will never forget my first trip to Key West. We stayed at the hotel at 0 Duval St and I fished ALL day that first day. I fished at the restaurant on the dock across from the hotel and I was catching HUGE crevalle jack, bluefish, red snapper, even some red grouper. There were HUGE tarpon swimming all in and around the boardwalk. It was alot of fun. I just wish I had brought a heavier rig with me because I only had a Quantum Snapshot reel with an Ugly Stik 6'6" medium rod with 15 lb mono. It was a real struggle getting some of those bigger fish in, but with a steel leader it wasn't too bad. I was using cut up ballyhoo. When I got back I tried using the same cut ballyhoo at the Tampa Shrimp Docks but all I caught was sailcats.
If you drop down to a 1oz weight you can probably cast a little further with those little rods. 2-1/2oz is way too big for those little whips. Maybe not THAT small, but when I go surf fishing I always have a small rod rigged with small hooks, to catch bait. Sometimes the little pole yields a nice surprise, like a flounder or something, or a trout or even a pompano. I keep the bait on the bait rig too small to interest the big reds and stuff. You probably don't want to hook up with a 30lb Redfish on one of those little rods, he will just drag your entire 80 yards of line with him to Cuba. Small tackle has filled many a cooler of whiting for me at the beach, too. Very tasty fish. You miss a lot of whiting and trout bites on big gear. I ALWAYS have a big rod with big bait, but I also almost always have a smaller rod with smaller bait, at the beach. If I am borrowing surrogate grandkids, I always stop at walmart for spincast rigs that size. They are cheap enough to just let the kids take them home with them. Meanwhile they can have a ball catching your bait for you. A 10 inch sand trout feels like Moby Dick to a 5 year old with a 3 foot fishing pole.
I love ultralight fishing! Been slaying 20-24” stripers on an ultralight BFS old 18 suppressor rod. Super light and strong! Best part I can throw smaller lures than anyone else and always get bites with smaller BFS presentations
Hey dude, I really appreciate you. You got me into fishing a lot. It’s going to be way more outside do more things. I’m not as lazy anymore. I really appreciate it.😊😊😊
Yeah, as a fisherman myself. That looks like an interesting idea. I personally would use say an 8 to 10 foot rod, with a 2 ounce weight, and 20 pound test. But I'm odd that way. When I fished the piers of Southern California. I used 40 pound test and steel leaders, most of the time. Its been a long time since I surf fished. I miss it. But now I live so far from an ocean. And my favorite lake is starting to freeze up. Any ways, tight lines and have fun.
Great fun. You guys are so lucky to have s many species fish living in your oceans. In Europe most of the seas are so heavily fished that fishing from the beach often send you home with nothing. Keep well and keep having fun.
Please make more fishing videos with aunty Kim I miss her she is one of the best fishing angler 👍🎣💛 I love ugly stick rods 🎣 what soft plastic and hard baits do you recommend for halibut fish
With my youngest (5 yo now) we use his "dock demon" at the beach and he loves it. Though I've learned to leave his in the shallower surf and not out further. Lots of cool catches closer like hermit crabs.
Amazing video, just love his enthusiasm and passion. Would be great to stand next to him and show him how to cast. Over the shoulder not sideways. 6 o’clock to 12 o’clock and follow through for more distance.
Also, my first saltwater fish that I caught after moving to Florida was a 2' long ladyfish that I caught on a topwater torpedo with a bullet weight tied to the front.
You need a small trailer with fat tires to pull behind your bike. I built a nice trailer to haul my fishing gear. Works great, and I made protective tubes from PVC pipe, to put the rods in. One day I will make it down your way to fish.
I love your " sure catch" rig holder spool!!! Could you please explain how it works and how you load it? .,...if you have already made a video of it could you please share or repost? Absolutely love your videos! They are informative and entertaining!
Awesome! If you found this helpful you gotta check out my website, I custom make a ton of gear to help you with your next fishing trip! www.heyskipperfishing.com 😁
Hello skipper this was some crazy video the only time I use those type of rods is when I go for trout freshwater rainbows brook trout brown trout I could never use those rods in saltwater

My favorite hobby is fishing, i really enjoy watching you and other fisher man. Catching fish are full of enjoyment and trill even big or small. Bro, can you give a one set of rod and reel, length 3m telescopic and reel 2000 series. Hope you read my message.
I knew you guys would eventually move to Florida given the fishing down there. The canal system in Miami area are incredible, lots of sneak head and peacock bass, they are incredibly aggressive and beautiful fish to look at, not to mention edible. Must people don't know that because it isn't fancy. Look it up. You're gonna have a blast there
Hi, is this in the Jax area or is this somewhere else? Can you give us any clues? Usually I can tell where you’re at but this time I’m stumped. It looks like a great spot to take our kids swimming.
I live near a river with all species of salmon and whitefish and trout, steelhead. I like catching but I like eating them too. How do you cook and serve your catch
I remember i had a normal rod and one tiny one and my buddy had a normal pole but it broke so i was using the small one and hooked a 25 inch red drum and landed it after a long fight because i had 4 lb test on it, i am very positive that these rods are unbreakable
