World's first SURF FISHING RIG CAMERA captures STUNNING NEVER before seen FOOTAGE! GoFish Cam CODE: WELCOME WWW.GOFISHCAM.COM Salty's Pompano RIG: search/top?q...
That creature you asked about is a Ragged Sea Hare. It is a shell less mollusk not a nudibranch, also not a regular sea hare. Bursatella leachii is the latin name.
As dedicated Pompano fishermen/women the wife and I were thrilled to see this video. Lesson learned: Just because you have active bait in the water and pompano swimming by doesn't mean you're going to get a bite. Your rig is very clever...well done.
The sand volcano is typical of a mantis shrimp burrowing a hole. I watched this growing up in Hawaii. Their many legs can produce the volume of sand that is thrown up as they dig a home or clean out their burrow. Then again I've also seen this type of activity from underground springs but it's usually a constant stream then a short burst. Nice vid.
At 6:39 it might be a Hairy Sea Hare a type of sea slug. Love the UW video. Wish I had a camera like it last week when something picked up the green FishGum I was using and took off. Almost spooled me. Broke off at the hook with 30# mono.
Cool stuff! The creature look like a sea slug to me....great footage on the fish, amazing the Blues as many as there were not one took the bait. Thanks for sharing
This underwater footage really does answer the life long question, how in the world do fish take your bait all the time without being hooked. Literally the bait was in the pompano and permits mouth and then they spit out the bait and the hook. I am sure a lot of the time the hook is spit out without the bait on it. Just amazing footage that answers questions from us anglers. Please continue to post more of these underwater videos.
I'm blaming the curve in the hook. It's too curved IMO. I've had contests fishing for things that lived in the kelp beds and the simple Eagle Claw hooks outperformed the curved hooks ten to one. If I felt the bite nine out of ten times it was followed by a hookup. If it made it into a fish mouth it wasn't coming out until I took it out. On the California coast before the kelp collapse ruined everything. I hate sea urchins.
Brilliant. I’ve always wondered what was going on down there. I’ve also stopped using floats because it looks like they get hit as much as the bait, but I’m definitely going to try your solution. Thanks for the great video.
I wish I could apply what I learned from your fish cam. Being disabled now, I can't get to the surf to well anymore, and I have to live, vicariously, through all you other fisherpersons. I wish you well and I have subscribed and look forward to more content like this.
Not the same as being on the sand, but you can still fish the surf from a pier. I'm not sure about all piers, but most are handicapped accessible. I know at our pier (Surf City Pier in Surf City, NC) we go out of our way to help get you out on the planks and wetting a line!
That is a great perspective. The addition of the little float makes all the difference. Great water clarity helps too. That unknown creature seems to me to be some sort of nudibranch.
Brilliant footage thanks. I saw a product when I was in the UK fishing called Strike Magic, kind of a scent you put on the bait and it trails back (it was designed for flyfishing). Something similar might help lead the fish directly to the bait and not the float. Keep the footage coming.
Great video and a very underrated channel here. i see so much potential with the new camera rig. i’ve never seen anything like that before except in video games! this is a whole new level of fishing.
Thank you for your encouraging words. It took about 3 years to get the angles right. I have lost 5 of those cameras, but this video made it worth it. I will try to upload one a month.
Great! Very interesting. Thanks for going to the trouble. It’s interesting to see how easily fish blow out a baited hook. I like the idea of putting the float on the hook, maybe a longer shanked hook? 🤓🎣🇦🇺
RE floats, you could use some pop up beads (common in UK surf fishing) on the hooklength itself to get them closer to the hook. Might give you an interesting action too and would definitely lead to less potentially spooky hardware all tightly together across the rig. Amazing video! Tight lines
Great video, so cool to see a surf bite cam. If you ever get a chance make a video without the floats. Would love to see the difference, of how far off the bottom they sit..
Go fish cam and salty pompano should absolutely be sponsoring you sir, this is awesome! I have never fished in such beautiful waters, except 1 time on a "deep sea fishing charter boat" years ago, catching red snapper. I've always fished the white river for catfish and white perch. Very few sturgeon below an old (1911 or so built hydropower dam) called Williams dam in Williams Indiana. It's so rich with insanely huge catfish and lord only knows what else... this is everything I've ever wanted, to see what actually happens once your lines in the water. 💯.
Mind blowing stuff. Just checked online and the price for that camera isn't bad and especially you get to keep memories about your catch. And you know they are going to get smaller and maybe even real time video on your glasses. Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.
Gostei muito do vídeo. Dá pra ter uma noção melhor sobra a ação dos pampos sobre a pesca com pequenas boias. Além de se fundir o anzol com a boia, outra dica seria usar cores mais vibrantes como o amarelo- limão (chartreuse) e o laranja fosforescente. Parabéns!
An old timer that I fished with frequently after my dad passed away, told me that when Fish go to test a bait.. they will take a quick nibble at it first…and if they don’t like the feel.. they move on. He was a firm believer in homemade floats from flip-flops that were soft, versus some of the Styrofoam models that are out there now. I wasn’t going to question his knowledge, and we had pretty good luck with soft floats. I also experimented with soft float-hooks.
Thanks for sharing, loved the content. I strive to do underwater observation with my GoFish Cam as well, first and foremost to try and observe and learn and hopefully become better fishermen, and also because live hook-ups with the cam running are just awesome! There were many interesting aspects to this footage and I, personally, was rather surprised at the ability they had to avoid getting hooked, after having the hook fully in their mouths. Awesome footage, thanks again for taking the time and effort to do this. I've lost what could have been some awesome underwater footage because it happened after the 90-100 minute mark and the camera battery was done. Win some, lose some!
Very nice video! That creature might be a sea slug. I think the pomps go after the floats bc they think its a sand flea. They might be biting it to determine if its real and if they really want to take it as though they were kind of sampling it by tasting it. I think if you create fish gum bait that floats in the shape of a sand flea it might do well.
Awesome channel! New sub! Will try Pompano fishing 🎣 here in my Boynton Beach ⛱️ 😎 on Sunday. Previously I fished the Intracoastal Waterway here with excellent results on different species of fish
Always love your underwater footage. And just like your clickbaiter friends. Y'all put out the best content. Always look forward to your videos. And yeah, there is alot of strange creatures in the gulf! Lol. Looked like some kind of snail
Question, are you seeing the footage live? If so, perhaps giving the bait some action to see it it will trigger a strike. The GoPro Quik app allows camera footage to be seen on phone.
