I didn't realize how important waders are to get away from rubber-neckers, little kids and googans...Thanks for the eye opening experience.
Last spring and fall were insane... All of April, then Sept-December it was wave after wave. Best fishing year of my life -- during a pandemic lol
That was AWESOME! Great tip on releasing birds and CONGRATS on the PB Albie! Looking forward to more.
Thanks, man!
PLEASE UPLOAD MORE!! It’s really nice to see someone that finally fishes in the same areas I do so I can get good tips. Thanks man!
PayneFish right on. Yes, I should be uploading regularly in a few weeks. I have 20 or so videos waiting to be edited. Thanks for the sub!
Very well done video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together and for sharing the tips. It's good living through other's youtube videos when I am stuck in the Raleigh area. Keep it up!
Thanks, man. Yes the fishing around the morehead area is fun.
@@Bobbystairfishing I make lures similar to the ones you show in the video, so if you see any you like on my hobby website (my youtube username .com) or have any special requests, let me know. I will hook you up as a thanks for taking the time putting together and sharing your videos. Please keep them coming!
Really good stuff. The point about throwing at fish busting on bait is a good one that most people don’t get. Those fish have already found food, its the ones still looking that are likely to strike a lure.
thanks for the tips nice work
great stuff my friend! I love OBX! I spent two summers in Duck working at the stone oven pizza.
Thanks, Bud!
Wonderful fisherman, I wish you fishing a lot and have a nice time
extraordinary fishing spot that has the potential to strike big fish, greetings from new visitors 😎💪
Great video on these amazing fish,fishing from the surf=wow.I wish there was a place in Southern CA. like this(quiet,mellow,few people).Thank you for these wonderful videos!
Thanks for the kind words, bro. Yes, outer banks of North Carolina is a special place.
Awesome and the tip on snaging a bird.....some Albies you got
Right on, thanks! Yeah snagging birds is always a nuisance.
Epic video man! These are actually good to eat believe it or not!
Thanks, dude! I know it, My friend kept one, marinated it for a bit and then grilled it. Said it was amazing.
Nice video! Haven't ever caught a bird before. That was epic.
Awesome video man, best intro I've seen in a long time!
Thanks, Brah! Awesome fu#king weekend getting those albies and the crew limiting out on trout. get it!
Really nice looking fish. I still have not caught one myself. Definitely on the list of species I would love to catch. Nice videos. Gave you a sub!
Bobby- great False Albacore video. Are you still fishing
Great video. Currently live in Central Florida thinking of relocating to Southern North Carolina. This makes me look closer at this area.
this is along sobx. The inshore fishery around the cape lookout area is phenomenal
@@Bobbystairfishing thanks. I'm eye balling anywhere from Wrightsville Beach up to Atlantic Beach. If you were going to pick one Beach town in that area where would you choose?
@@tommyo321 Id pick AB handsdown. you got capelookout and the outer banks right there.
@@Bobbystairfishing great thanks. Hope my wife likes it!
@@tommyo321 hah! good luck
Great video! If I could make one recommendation though. If you keep laying your reel in the sand you will ruin it. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks! I understand. I make sure to give them a good wash after.
Nice video. Do you ever fish at Topsail Beach North Carolina? I'm heading there Saturday for a week. Hope to catch something. I'm just starting to get into throwing spoons and jigs from the surf, it looks fun. I usually just chunk a bottom rig out with bait. Haha Nice video and I hope to see more in the near future.
How am I just seeing this? Great video and info brother!
Right on. Thanks for the kind words, bud.
Bobby S._Fishing are you gonna put out any new videos?
@@clintondewitt286 I am at the start of the new year. Just been busy with two kids and running a buisness hah.
Bobby S._Fishing heck yes! I can’t wait brother. Happy holidays
@@clintondewitt286 Thanks! Happy holidays and a Merry Christmas to you. I have completely edited a shark fishing tutorial, redfish vid, shad and striped bass on the Neuse vid, and a bunch others.. just waiting to bombard youtube when viewership goes up around the first week of March.
Very good video and editing! I really enjoyed the intro
Thanks, bud!
Do you have any tips on conditions like wind speed and direction etc these fish look like loads of fun to catch in NC but there are no other videos that I can find about surf fishing for them.
Of course. A north wind is best because it flattens out the surf and pushes the bait out of the creeks and sounds. calmer clearer water from 64-72 degrees are prime. best thing to do is walk the beach in the early hours during an incoming tide and you'll eventually run into blitzing fish.
@@Bobbystairfishing Thanks so much man hopefully I can find some next time I go i do have one more question are the fish oily because I'm also looking to target some sharks and was wondering if they were any good or to stick to the normal mullet and bluefish
Nvm actually I just found an article saying they are decent shark bait but again thanks for the tips though. will put them to good use.
@@tommy5372 they are good shark wait. Blues are always great too
I caught my first albie on a 3/4oz gold kastmaster spoon at Radio Island.
First one it’s bonito
Tank u for shere the location I sub
Thanks for the sub
Great video you have a new sub. Is that star rod the M or MH? Also How do you like the split grip?
Gulp_Man102 it's a med heavy. I really prefer the split grip!
Bobby S._Fishing Thx going to buy one for Bonito and Spanish. I had a jigging rod from Star and loved it great for Grouper and amberjack's with 65lb braid.
Gulp_Man102 Right on, this rod has been very impressive. Strong enough to for big reds and Albies but I also use it for finesse fishing largemouth because it's super sensitive. Good buy and I appreciate the sub thanks for the support!
you got any videos on redfish at fort macon
Is the rod medium heavy?
Is that the Star stellar lite fast taper? I'm literally ordering 1 tonight. And was a lil worried about how it will hold up to Albies. Now I dont gotta worry lol
its just fine! star rods are great
I'm just curious, about how far are you casting? I'd like to get one with a fly rod, but I'm not going to be able to cast as far as you. Do you ever catch them in the 30 yd range?
yes sir, absolutely. They'll come up in the wash. just have to picvk and choose your shots. stay mobile on the beach and chase them down.
@@Bobbystairfishing Is there a tide time that presents the best chance of seeing them. I was there Sunday and cast for 7 hours hoping to see some but didn't see anything. I did notice at at high tide is where I saw a lot of the bait fish near the shore. I am completely new to ocean fushing so I don't even know what the baitfish were. They were finger-size and up so I'm guessing finger mullets? Two weeks ago(first time coastal fishing), I was at the jetty and saw a baitball there the whole time. I was told they were glass minnows(tiny and maybe 2.5" long).
On Sunday an elderly fisherman told me my best chances would be left of the green buoy or drum towards the soud side. Watching your video, it finally dawned on me that you were fishing there. Is that where you think I should be to have the best chance? I don't mind casting there till I turn blue if that's what it takes. And don't mind chasing them. I also bring along a small binocular to help me scout. Can you shed some light as to location(best for fly rod), and retrieve speed. Does it have to be blazingly fast? I retrieve using a double hand retrieve but all day Sunday, I only saw lady fish chasig my flies. My cousin who surf fishes said my retrieve was too slow and that's why they didn't take my flies. I threw the book at them. Albie whores, surf candies, clousers, deceivers, eels, and a host of others. Not a single strike. Any advice to this noob on a quest to land an Albie on a fly rod from the surf.
The elderly gentleman told me that where you were fishing there is a deep drop in the channel and that would be good place for Albies. Can you shed some light on this. I will likely try again this weekend of I can. Again, as far as the tide goes, is there a window I need to shoot for? Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks!
@@vangmountain sure, i can give you more specific locations and tips. Might be easier to DM. Do you have instagram by chance?
@@Bobbystairfishing No I don't unfortunately. I only use gmail. If you'd rather you can email me at this account. It's a gmail account. Just email me at "vangmountain". I try to keep my social media footprint as small as possiblle. Thanks!
@@Bobbystairfishing And I wouldn't mind talking to you via phone if you'd rather that. Just whatever and thanks for your willingness to help a total noob!
Yo this is cool man, I just found your channel while I was surfing the tube for some nc surf fishing. Why’d you stop uploading though you got some skills dawg. I’m in Raleigh but I’m down there all the time, hit me up if u wanna collab dude. I just subbed btw 😉
Hey Dan, thanks for the kind words. I stopped uploading because i've been busy. I have a ton of videos edited I just haven't released any yet. Lets get on some fish. I'll find you on instagram and DM you my number
Just came across your video and was wondering if you know if they're running now or have already made their run?
they are running right now
I love this video!
How much is the Lb of your rod?
I use 15lb braid. Power pro slick 8
Hello Bobby!
Thanks for the most helpful video! How can I contact you offline with some simple location questions (when/where) etc.?
Hi, Mike. Thanks for the kind words. Sure you can Message me on Instagram.
Hi Bobby, I can't find your user name (I'm new to Instagram). Can you help me here please?
just type in Bobby Stair
make more videos
i have a bunch ready for the new year :)
What type of rod and reel are you using?
I use a 9ft tica tc2. my reel is a penn clash 4000
Do you know if they are bitting right now?
yes they are
+Bobby S._Fishing thanks for the response, so if I go to fort Macon area just follow the birds and cast out with spoons you used I should hook up?
That's one way to do it. I walk the beach with a 35 gram pink hogy jig and throw it at surfacing pods of fish. Nothing to it 🤙
great video man, nice catch with the bird lol. subscriber # 252 here. get me back when you get a chance, thanks and take care.
Thanks for the support. I'll return the favor and check out your channel.
When was this ?
This was filmed last October. But, the albies are in just as thick this year!
My wife and I were down at Atlantic Beach last weekend and saw the albies breaking all up and down the beach. Just outside of casting range though.
During high tide, they'll start to come closer. I've seen them up in the wash 5 feet from shore. At Radio Island fisherman get run into by these things while wade fishing for trout.
Where's the new content homie? You using Adobe? I know you're doing a ton of work or you already had those skills. Your intro has inspired me to make better stuff. Oh and if you ever wanna try for a giant trout just hit me up on my channel. Would be happy to collab and see how you do your thing.
Thanks, for the kind words! I have a bunch of new edits ready to go. Just haven't uploaded them yet. Yes, I use adobe premier and after effects. Hit my up on instagram or facebook and we can figure something out.
