I've been fishing for 35 yrs and still learn tips from you and your dad. Thanks. Back in the day, fisherman kept tips to themselves.. as if you were stealing their honey hole.
100% depends on the day, one day the fish are on the bite and the next day nothing even in identical conditions. I prefer to use circle hooks in a rugged rocky areas as the normal "J" hook tends to get stuck in the coral
Hey Skipper. I live and fish here in Northern midwest, where its gettin really cold in Illinois. We dont have like the best places to fish. For that, we go oto Wisconsin. But I learned today a VERY important, fundamental of fishing. Match hook size with the fish you want to catch. A great highlight from your video. A fish with small mouth will need small hook. Now i understand why i use a small hook and i only get panfish, bluegill or sunfish and hoping to catch trophy bass. Ive been fishing crazy using like a3/0 or 4/0 on a drop shot - but even tsmaller fish just swim away. Thank you Skipper for this awesome learning. Edgar
Perfect love all the info, and picture of different fish . Love that skyway , try the north side , go all the way to the last stop , got some nice grouper and big fish there , don’t forget fort de Soto, or pass-a- grille jetty
In NJ and I think other Northeastern states if you are bait fishing for stripers you have to use circle hooks per the regulations so if it's the spring or fall runs you're pretty much stuck with the circle regardless of the species you are targeting unless its a really small hook.
Hey man me and my friend started fishing at the bay we are really new to this type of fishing, we went to a bay WITHH some normal 6 foot medium heavy foot rod with a lot of fresh fish and night crawlers and little did we know we hade a lot to learn to when it comes to hooks to what rod your using and how your tieing your rig. Your videos are a lot of help man been trying to play close attention what you tie on your line, weights ur using and etc
Hey sir Skipper nice to see you again with Bushi, watch his video the other day, sad though bc the kids were not with him. But it's ok. Erin have a blessed day
The next time you fish that pier use a trolley rig it keeps your bait in the perfect place for kings, mackerel, and tarpon. There's a lot less of a chance of losing fish, like when you bottom fish.
watching this video before going to work this morning..I love your videos because I have learned so much. Last night I made my first ever hi-low rig that I am going to use. don't know if i did it right but I am ready to use it for the first time tonight. thanks for the tip..now to get more hooks..yay
Bro i fish galveston to and the whole thing is a lie your always gonna need steel leader for sharks and smacks it doesn't matter bc they are gonna go for the whole bait and that's a fact
Thanks for the content skipper and the wifey. You have tought me so much , your techniques work here in NJ also. Keep up the great Job.. I wish i could afford your bait box maybe one day.. God Bless and tight lines
You can free-line pinfish from that pier and catch grouper off the rocks 50 to 75 yards out from the pier.. That's one of my favorite places to fish.. Mangroves snapper, Spanish/King mackerel, Jackes... Anything and everything swims through there...
fished from santa monica pier using sabiki feather rig, you throw it out as far as you can and reel it in as fast as you can and hook the fast mackerels or senioritas
I binge watch all your videos for a month before vacation every year. Fishing in ocean city after Labor Day. What am I going to be catching that time of year?
Hey Skipper, thanks for all the great videos on fishing. I joined a few months ago n love the places and advice you share . But most of all that you share it with your family. That’s a blessing of its own. I would like to see how you set up and fish Black fish in New Jersey. Also , maybe we’re we can get the fiddler crabs they say are the best for these fish. Seems no one sells them any more around here during the Fall season. Thanks and tell the crew I said hello, and great job. Stay Blessed , Adam
already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.
Those passing showers... I was on a pier on the Outer Banks of North Carolina when the rain came. And boy did it come! The spots were coming in two at a time. Everyone was getting drenched. There was a shelter in the middle of the pier but no one wanted to leave the bite. We kept looking at the shelter and at each other laughing the whole time...and kept fishing.
15:07 I think it’s a dotted snapper the ones in the Red Sea have different colors I might be wrong but the one thing I’m sure of is they are really tasty when fried 😂
In some states where striped bass range, you have to use inline circle hooks now if you're targeting bass. J Hooks and O'Shaughnessy are illegal for stripers in NY and CT. Offset hooks are also illegal for stripers in both states.
Hey Skipper. I’ve learned a lot from you. Here’s one for you! I’m a DENTIST and I see fishermen every season with broken teeth from biting line. AVOID THIS HABIT excess line. AVOID THIS HABIT
15:03 in malaysia we call that fish Jenahak which is Malaysia's type of snapper. People in Malaysia love that fish and it is a great game fish cause it can grow massive up to 5 kilos.
Good morning happy fishing Sunday 🎣 i enjoy your fishing videos thank you very much for this tip video what number size hook is good for the pier is a number 1 or 2 Long shanks hook good i like using 1/2oz - 1oz Jig head Hook for swim baits i also use a small size hook im not sure what size it is i just use them for my drop shots i also use metal Jig like spoons and tady jigs from 3/4oz all the why up to 1-1/2oz
I have been following your videos for sooo long. You always said, always use circle hooks. Now you mentioned bout choice of hooks that is best for different situation.
I am in PE, - We can make our own salted baits too!... By experimenting! The west coast fishermen dry and salt the pilchards or sardines! Red bait can be dried and salted, probably others too! Freshwater fishermen dry and salt kapenta, - small sardine species up north! I will try doing it sometime. Better than trying to import their bait and the situation involved for sure!... 🎣_ 🐟 - 🐟 _🎣
@Willem Nel- Michael Everton is spot on. Most of the people I've come across who use salted baits make their own. I haven't watched a ton of the videos on this channel, but I'm almost positive I've seen him making his as well. If you were to make a habit of doing it consistently, making use of by-catch and extras, it should be self-sustaining (or at least very close to it). The process is pretty simple as long as you're sticking to relatively small bait fish. Bigger stuff can be used, you just want to make sure that it is thoroughly dried/cured before handling, though. Also, as Michael Everton pointed out, I would think importing something like this might be a little tricky.
@Hey Skipper We live in the same area! I live close to Skyway Bridge! Your vids inspired me to buy a fishing pole & im buying tackle this week! Teach me how to catch big fish!! Lol
Awe man I wish that you guys had this video up just before last Christmas to new years when I was down there and Apollo beach mostly getting skunked because I had way to big of setups for the fish that were out an stealing all our bait. Now I'll know better for next time though!!!
That Lane Snapper is also Filipino ultralite anglers like to fish for here in the Philippines. So good for sour soups or broth with vegetables. It's meat is tasty if it's fat.
I believe you have to use Circle hooks on certain bait. Have to re read Texas saltwater law again. Might be in the lane or red part.. Looks like a Lane Red she got there
I’m looking at using a 10 medium heavy rod from bass pro along with a 5000 Penn reel. With 20# braid . What color of braid for Destin florida? Also what weight of leader and color and length of floracarbon?
Been a fan form a long time love your method and detailed videos would love if u made a detail video for grouper only where to find what kind of rigs should use .
Great video except for one thing, you speak about the bait & the hook but you didn't tell us what kind of leader you were using, a high low rig or a bottom rig? Love your video's & all the information you give us. I'm a life long fisherman and i'm still learning from you, lol. Keep up the good work!!
I'm new in fishing. Right now i don't even know nothing. But my neighbor took me to a trip fishing we got 30 porgys each. And now i can't stop thinking about fishing. I love fried fish. But fish them is my New hobby. Never fished in my 42 years old. But. I love it. My friend told me. Not every day you get them... "THAT IS WHY IS CALL (FISHING) NOT CATCHING" But remember a bad day fishing is bether that a bad day working.
I've been fishing for 35 yrs and still learn tips from you and your dad. Thanks. Back in the day, fisherman kept tips to themselves.. as if you were stealing their honey hole.

That's a lovely Lane Snapper ... 8" and up in FL
Perfect love all the info, and picture of different fish .
Love that skyway , try the north side , go all the way to the last stop , got some nice grouper and big fish there , don’t forget fort de Soto, or pass-a- grille jetty
In NJ and I think other Northeastern states if you are bait fishing for stripers you have to use circle hooks per the regulations so if it's the spring or fall runs you're pretty much stuck with the circle regardless of the species you are targeting unless its a really small hook.
Facts. Only circle hooks with live bait or cut bait.
Hey man me and my friend started fishing at the bay we are really new to this type of fishing, we went to a bay WITHH some normal 6 foot medium heavy foot rod with a lot of fresh fish and night crawlers and little did we know we hade a lot to learn to when it comes to hooks to what rod your using and how your tieing your rig.

I enjoy your hook talks. I’m trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks!
I’d suggest normally using circle hooks in general, sets itself and almost always in lip or in corners of mouth
watching this video before going to work this morning..I love your videos because I have learned so much. Last night I made my first ever hi-low rig that I am going to use. don't know if i did it right but I am ready to use it for the first time tonight. thanks for the tip..now to get more hooks..yay
How did your first high low rig work?
I fish a lot in Galveston, and your tips are informative I had no idea the uses for different hooks. Thanks skipper
Bro i fish galveston to and the whole thing is a lie your always gonna need steel leader for sharks and smacks it doesn't matter bc they are gonna go for the whole bait and that's a fact
@@Unitsjr yeah i always do steel leaders too. there are a lot of those little sand sharks by the causeway
Thanks for the content skipper and the wifey. You have tought me so much , your techniques work here in NJ also. Keep up the great Job.. I wish i could afford your bait box maybe one day.. God Bless and tight lines
Thanks for the informative videos. My wife and I are heading to Avon ( outer banks ) NC the last week of September. Hoping for tight lines.
Hit up the Oregon inlet, go right under the bridge is amazing!
Thank you. I'll check it out
So informative as always, great ending on this one 👍💯
Thanks :) that makes us happy to hear
G'Day Mate. I just started fishing last year here in NSW, Australia. Your videos are very informative. Keep 'em coming! Thank you
What kind of line are you using braided or mono and how many pounds and what’s best for pier fishing
You can free-line pinfish from that pier and catch grouper off the rocks 50 to 75 yards out from the pier.. That's one of my favorite places to fish.. Mangroves snapper, Spanish/King mackerel, Jackes... Anything and everything swims through there...
Thanks for the info. I'm learning to take my son out fishing 🎣
Good information here! And Erin caught a real pretty fish! Thanks guys! Always good to see your adventures!
Thanks for the info glad to see Aaron fishing also
fished from santa monica pier using sabiki feather rig, you throw it out as far as you can and reel it in as fast as you can and hook the fast mackerels or senioritas
Great video! When were you at the skyway? Was there in early august and red tide still had things messed up…
I binge watch all your videos for a month before vacation every year. Fishing in ocean city after Labor Day. What am I going to be catching that time of year?
Thanks skipper for the hook lesson. Learned alot as always
Good video. I fished the same spot last week and had luck. The fish:Lane Snapper and Key West Grunts
Hey Skipper, thanks for all the great videos on fishing. I joined a few months ago n love the places and advice you share . But most of all that you share it with your family. That’s a blessing of its own.
I would like to see how you set up and fish Black fish in New Jersey. Also , maybe we’re we can get the fiddler crabs they say are the best for these fish. Seems no one sells them any more around here during the Fall season.
Thanks and tell the crew I said hello, and great job.
Stay Blessed , Adam
Fish at 19:00 are called white grunt, or key west snappers if on the fishing party boats. They taste pretty good.
Thank 4 sharing your informative video...GOD BLESS.
I would like some information about your Beach card on the back of the truck
already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp.

Hey skipper do you keep a record of all the catch’s and bait’s and hooks you use
Bro thank you so much for your content you have no idea how helpful its been .... Im 2 month into fishing and all your videos have been helpful
This was very informative!! Love your videos. I'm in South Fl. What pier is this ??
I’d love to see some south east Florida fishing
Those passing showers... I was on a pier on the Outer Banks of North Carolina when the rain came. And boy did it come! The spots were coming in two at a time. Everyone was getting drenched. There was a shelter in the middle of the pier but no one wanted to leave the bite. We kept looking at the shelter and at each other laughing the whole time...and kept fishing.
15:07 I think it’s a dotted snapper the ones in the Red Sea have different colors I might be wrong but the one thing I’m sure of is they are really tasty when fried 😂
Was that a lane snapper? The one with the black dot.
Nice video great content! I just moved to Florida Where is that at your fishing?
Those long shanks are my favorite hook!
Have numerous sizes....some times I'll use a high low with different size on either hi or low
@Hey Skipper I'm looking for a hat similar to what you had on ..what kind of hat is that ? Any links ?
In some states where striped bass range, you have to use inline circle hooks now if you're targeting bass. J Hooks and O'Shaughnessy are illegal for stripers in NY and CT. Offset hooks are also illegal for stripers in both states.
how on earth would they enforce this? just curious I live in NJ. not that they have to worry about me catching anything lol
Great nice informative video! Love all your fishing videos! Love from Singapore 😊
Hey Skipper. I’ve learned a lot from you. Here’s one for you! I’m a DENTIST and I see fishermen every season with broken teeth from biting line.
AVOID THIS HABIT
excess line.
AVOID THIS HABIT
Indeed, adding a pair of nail clippers or something similar to your tackle box is always a good idea, not like they take up that much space
15:03 in malaysia we call that fish Jenahak which is Malaysia's type of snapper. People in Malaysia love that fish and it is a great game fish cause it can grow massive up to 5 kilos.
Hey watching from monterey ca. Love your video gave a great edea of fishing thank you

Merry Chrismas from Brasil, love yr videos. Keep going.
Where did you get those hats? Great video.
Hey Skipper on the long shank hook for the Spanish Mackerel what type of knot are you using to tie with on that setup
I have been following your videos for sooo long. You always said, always use circle hooks. Now you mentioned bout choice of hooks that is best for different situation.
If your in tampa, have time to teach a beginner some lessons that is willing to pay?
What type of hook is best to use when fishing around kent island i keep losing my bait like they hit it amd pull when i try to grab the rod
Nice, I learn something new today, good talk mate!
Great Stuff ! Keep’em coming !
That fish with the spot is called a Lane Snapper
Great video, which size is your first hook of the video, about a #5/0?
Wow wish to have fishing reel and rod like yours i do really love fishing to keepsafe tnx for sharing
Hey skip , I'm from south Africa 🇿🇦 how do i get your salty baits ?
I am in PE, -
We can make our own salted baits too!...
By experimenting!
The west coast fishermen dry and salt the pilchards or sardines!
Red bait can be dried and salted, probably others too!
Freshwater fishermen dry and salt kapenta, - small sardine species up north!
I will try doing it sometime.
Better than trying to import their bait and the situation involved for sure!...

Just wondering how long did you fish that day and what time?
Great presentation! Thank you!
Hey Skipper. Do you know good surf fishing spots in SoCal?
Nice tips
Where can we get the baitholder hooks? Thanks.
That Lane Snapper is also Filipino ultralite anglers like to fish for here in the Philippines. So good for sour soups or broth with vegetables. It's meat is tasty if it's fat.
I believe you have to use Circle hooks on certain bait. Have to re read Texas saltwater law again. Might be in the lane or red part.. Looks like a Lane Red she got there
The first fish you asked, I think it is either a Lane Snapper. or Blackspot Snapper.
it was a lane i looked it up
it has to be at least 8" to keep 10 bag limit
I think it might actually be a mutton snapper with that black spot.
That fish your girl caught with the spot on the back was a Lane Snapper
I’m looking at using a 10 medium heavy rod from bass pro along with a 5000 Penn reel. With 20# braid . What color of braid for Destin florida? Also what weight of leader and color and length of floracarbon?
I would not care so much about the color of the braid but the weight of the flourocarbon leader. The color of braid doesn’t matter as much
@@HeySkipper What weight on the leader and length?
Steve
Great fishing video and tips
Do many people run lures off the pier? I reckon soft plastics or crank baits would kill it in the wash
The fish with the red mouth are red lip fish. Your video was very helpful thank you.
Excellent work !
What rod reel and line are you using?
What rod and reel combo is he using for the grouper?
Nice hook use overview
Is that a fingermark snapper or a black spot snapper.
Thanks! Very useful information. 👍
Been a fan form a long time love your method and detailed videos would love if u made a detail video for grouper only where to find what kind of rigs should use .
can you teach us how to catch big game fish on surf and what rig ,bait ,hook etc is best for it
That video will be coming up in s couple weeks! Thanks for watching!
Never a lot going on at skyway for such a beautiful place
Hey Skipper what size of hook was that?
Aye bro you at the skyway how long ago was this I fish there a lot there
Love all your videos bro very helpful
Thanks for helping others
God bless
Great video except for one thing, you speak about the bait & the hook but you didn't tell us what kind of leader you were using, a high low rig or a bottom rig? Love your video's & all the information you give us. I'm a life long fisherman and i'm still learning from you, lol. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the feedback, Richard! We will have to cover this in more detail in the future
Hope Bushi will get more Subs, he is a great father to his kids.
I'm new in fishing. Right now i don't even know nothing. But my neighbor took me to a trip fishing we got 30 porgys each. And now i can't stop thinking about fishing. I love fried fish. But fish them is my New hobby. Never fished in my 42 years old. But. I love it. My friend told me. Not every day you get them...
"THAT IS WHY IS CALL (FISHING) NOT CATCHING" But remember a bad day fishing is bether that a bad day working.
Hey Skipper, where can I buy the pants you are wearing?
