Fishing with One of the BEST Inshore Lures - MirrOlure MirrOdine
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2024
- In this video, I set a goal to catch fish by only using artificial lures. After starting the day throwing a D.O.A. C.A.L., I switched over to a MirrOlure MirrOdine; which some people believe is the best inshore saltwater fishing lure. I was fishing in shallow crystal clear water and was able to sight fish some snook. I then targeted speckled trout with the same MirrOdine and was able to catch two of the biggest trout I've caught all winter!

Do you think the MirrOdine is one of the best lures for inshore fishing?
should switch those treble to j hook
I want to try it on hybrids and strip bass. I believe it would do well.
Absolutely one of the best inshore lures there is. I have an entire box with different sizes and colors for different scenarios. Also LOVE the Paul Brown SoftDines
Yes im a big fan of the yozuri crystal 3d minnow also
That MirrOdine has landed me a vast diversity of saltwater fish and never left me skunked.
Dude NEVER underestimate the ol MirrOdine. That’s one of my old faithful lures I can always resort to if nothing else is working
Thank you for explaining how to properly handle trout. So many people don’t know to wet their hands first. We need more guys like you to educate anglers so we can have these beautiful fish always in the future.
Love your videos man!
Awesome name
Properly handling a trout would also include getting rid of the treble hooks and mashing the barbs down!
@23jake24 that is also very true. I've never fished a hard bait with single hooks before, but it's something I want to try. It's definitely better for the fish and makes unhooking/handling the fish much easier
@@23Jake24 I’m from New York State. We only use barbless hooks.
@@SeeYaDude Really doesn't change the hookup ratio and as you mentioned, much better for the fish AND us.
The mirrodine is hands down one of the most versatile lures in the water, even for freshwater fish.
CMR!!
Literally used the exact same lure today over near Cove Cay and tore up the trout with some ladyfish inbetween. Fantastic lure for this area.
I'm 57 n fish out of Palacios tx n I'm telling you that mirror dine is an unbeatable lure I have about 200-300 lures n that's hard lures n that lure the mirror dine has been consistently the best,,,
Tony, thank you SO much for reminding folks to moisten their hands before handling trout, especially if they're to be released. I see far too many otherwise excellent fishermen, including C&R professional guides who don't. I was taught early on to do so and even if the water's cold, I do it. It needs to be broadcast often in my opinion, especially by TH-cam channel owner/operators to set the example for their audience. Thank you and excellent video on the Mirrodine success.
Great video. Sure great to see that clean water and i hope the fish populations are all bouncing back stronger than ever. Thanks for your respect to the fisheries. You are a good example that all of us that love the water should follow
Big fan of the 27MR on a baitcaster, but sometimes they want the snack sized 17MR. Great Vid!
I always look forward to watching your videos. Thanks for putting so much effort into them.
GREAT trip! Good thing the other fish popped your line and made you switch.
Yea man for sure the ole MirrOdine is one of my favorite Topwater baits. It is tried and true and always seems to come through for at least a few fish every time I throw it. I've caught everything from Mangrove Snapper to juvie Tarpon on it!😎
MirrOdine is not a topwater bait. It's a suspending twitchbait
@@markm6465 No they have a Topwater model too. Its been around for years
i've always liked the PopaDog but now I want to try this one
Nice video 👍🎣 love the intro music, Keep up the good videos dude, I love seeing the local waters🤘 Gotta love the Tampa bay area
Very good lure and it seems to work particularly well here in MA/RI when there’s peanut bunker and other small bait around. However, a gator blue bent the snot out of the rear treble hook this past weekend. If you plan to fish Northeast waters for Blues or Stripers recommend you swap out the trebles for something a little more robust.
That MirrOdine & the Paul Brown Fattie Texas Chicken is the best arti for nice Spec's.
I was fishing around guys on the jetties that were using live shrimp & catching trash fish.
I threw that MirrOdine 3.5" & hooked up w/ 2 lady fish. Then switched to the Fatty & limited out in 10min on huge Spec's!
I had guys offering me $40 for that lure but it was all I had. That evening I bought all the Paul Browns I could find on Amazon & the Yo-Zuri 3.5" mullet.
Those are fire baits for Trout & Reds
Love your vids man
Been waiting for this all day!
Great video Brent, I have a bunch of MirrOdine lures that are beat up from Stout trout and Blues! Soon I will be down in Tampa to fish the DC.
Another great video! You absolutely kill it with the B roll and music every time. 👍 Seriously, great job on your editing. Went to click the link to the Mirrodine to pick up a few for my upcoming trips to FL and that Amazon link was sold out and unavailable. Hope you can update soon because I want to support you through your links. I'll hold off buying in the meantime. Keep it up!🎣
Thank you for pointing that out! I just updated the link so hopefully that should be all good now. Here's that link: amzn.to/2OzRnPK. And thank you for the support, I really appreciate it!
Great vid👍🏴
Another great video, keep em comin man!
Congrats on those 2 mules. The spots on the 1st 21 incher were particularly handsome. May you be favored with many more throughout the year. And yeah, I've always been partial to Mirr-O-lures. Back in the 70s I had a 3-treble clear with fire engine red back & sides that I was real partial to. Only saw that color once and like a doofus I didn't buy 3 or 4 (got it @ Sears of all places.) Caught damn near everything on it. Snook, redfish, bluefish, dolphin (mahi), kingfish, even nailed one of my two wahoo on it. You'd think I'd lost one of my kids the morning I was surf fishing, doing my retrieve & suddenly, nothing. Not bite, no strike, just dead mono. Cut off above the wire, shark/cuda - My Precious was gone & I never saw that color again.😭
But, yeah, whatever the color - great lures, for me, for almost half a century. Good stuff. 👍
My favorite lure. So fun to use for trout
My favorite! Just got the XL to try
great vid as always, love the mirrodine and the yozuri twitchbait too. Keep up the good work, how can i get a trout release sticker to go with my red and snook?
They will be available soon for people who sign up on the website (SeeYaDude.com) and I will be periodically giving some away on here and on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
Nice fishing buddy 👍👍👍...
very nice video and good catches Buddy :) Peace
These Lures works inshore , offshore for mahi and even fresh water. One of the best lures on the market!
Nice dudeee 🔥
SYD can u do a vid about what braid to leader knot you use and show us how it done
I use a uni to uni knot 99% of the time. I made a video awhile back called "TOP 5 Knots You Should Know: Beginner's Guide to Fishing" and the double uni was one of them. Here's a link to that vid if you wanna check that out: th-cam.com/video/OsBOnG9qp3c/w-d-xo.html
Each scar on that lure has a story to tell...
Mirrodines seem to get better with age and scars. Using a magic eraser to take the sheen off them makes them better as well.
Nice trouts 🤙🔥
Love mirrodines. Local Tampa Bay company that still make baits in the USA that catch all the time, what’s not to like?
Hey I've never run into a Snook in Louisiana would you compare the meat to Redfish or Speckle trout?
Better than both in my personal opinion with Redfish being second. They fight so well too, just an awesome fish
I'm gonna tell you more about snook as food than you want to know & will follow it up with some personal info as a testimonial. I'm just now 60 yrs old. Been saltwater fishing since I was 8 & introduced to snook fishing specifically when I was 12 or 13 and became almost immediately addicted to the species as both a recreation and food. The meat is like the cod or whatever they use @ Long John Silver only good. Very white. Very tight, not mushy. Not fishy & extremely consistent all the way through the fillet & all the way through the sizes. You can't keep them this big now, but the meat on huge 45 lb horse is as firm and white and "unfishy" as 7 - 8 lb fish. Redfish compares well. However, I've found that snook is firmer & waaay less fishy than redfish. Also redfish, again, to me, become less desirable the bigger they get. If this was back in the 70s & you could keep a 38" redfish, you may not wasn't to because you'd have to slather it in so much lemon, garlic, butter, and white wine to overcome the soft grey meat and fishy taste that it's not worth serving it as "fish." It's not like bluefish bad - but... let's just say there's a reason dude came up with the dish "blackened redfish." As for speckled trout it's no contest. No matter the size of the fish in question if you layed pieces of snook & trout fillets next to one another, I'd be dumbstruck if anyone chose the trout. Snook would be easily whiter and firmer and most likely (unless comically butchered the snook) with far less red veins or areas that tend to carry "fishy" taste.
Now here's the personal testimonial part.
I don't eat fish. Can't stand it. Never have.
My friends love me cuz if I keep anything, I give it away (filleted. Except when I go shrimping - I ain't cleaning your shrimp - you're getting 2 or 3 5gal buckets of "do-it-yourself" FRESH shrimp. So far, nobody's complained, lol) anyway - I give away any catch I keep because if it swam to my plate, it LITERALLY makes me nauseous to smell it cooking (& yes that includes lobster & crab. Don't want no damn ocean roaches.) Salmon - with all its fat - salmon is the worst. For real I've thrown up when my cousin cooked up some salmon my nephew caught in Lake Michigan.
But snook. I'll eat me some snook. Batter it up and fry it in fresh oil with the tartar sauce I make myself - I will eat THE HELL OUTTA SOME SNOOK. Side of fries & slaw - YUM!
Redfish is "ok" and some snapper I'll eat on the same terms as snook, but both of these are iffy and eaten in limited quantities.
But snook fried - & especially deep fried - battered snook is a buffet dish. Go to SW Florida on a vacay or short trip. Ft Myers or Marco Island area. Sanibel Island is The. Place. Right off the coast of Ft Myers. Catch yourself some snook. Eat yourself some snook. You tell me. 😀
Like I said, more than you wanted to know.
Sorry.
@@dank8865 WOW thanks for taking the time to reply. It sounds like Snook is your chicken of the sea LOL
@@kingfish4488 Without doubt. I really hope you get yourself a chance to land a good sized "linesider." The young ones fight like bass & tarpon with a lot of top water breaks & head shakes. But big older ones stay under & go straight for obstacles to break you off on. Smarter than Hell. Either way they're strong as an ox and a fish you'll always remember landing. Good luck!
@@kingfish4488 I made snook salad sandwiches like a tuna fish salad and it’s ever better.
Hey quick question for you. Why the Battle 3 instead of the Battle 3 DX? In my opinion a much better reel. Wife and I watch your videos and love every second of them. Thank you for all the tips and tricks!
He said he got it as a Christmas Gift I believe in a few videos back.
Aaron is correct, I did get it as a christmas gift. But, I also honestly didn't even know that the DX was an option. That does look like a high quality reel
@@SeeYaDude yeah. I mean cnc aluminum isn’t bad, but brass gearing for 20 bucks more is a no brained.
Do you offer charters? I'm flying in to Tampa in April and looking scratch off a few fishes on my bucket list. I watched a bunch of your videos. You definitely know what you're doing
I do not run charters unfortunately
Direct tie always or can you use a loop knot.
*Fun little bait great for ponds. This thing casts really well for its size, I was surprised. Good for when you need to downsize and gets smaller fish to commit*
I'm telling you thar mirror dine,,, you caught that on the fall with now movement,,, can't tell you how many specs I caught that way cause they fall perfectly horizontal,,, who ever designed was on the $ ,,, yea my pb is 22" n it was with a MD xl black n gold I probably have every color, peace like your vid
Do you work a this mirrordine similar to a gotcha plug from what I’m seeing?
Kinda. I like to pop it 2 or 3 times and then pause and let it sit for 2 seconds. They usually hit it on the pause
@@SeeYaDude got it thanks! 😎
I have used Mirrordines because everyone says they are awesome but I have yet to catch anything with them. Can you help me out here. I use a uni knot to connect main to leader and twitch them but no luck. Probably just me and where I fish but man it's so frustrating. I use the purple ones and the ones like you have on here. I did catch a huge Jack and a couple kings on the Catch 2000 minnow that I saw busting up bait along the shoreline and offshore. Just never the mirrordines. Thanks for any input.
It's a good one. The Catch-2000 is better.
I have one that is pearl white and have no clue where to even use it since i kayak a lot in the intercoastal
I'm sure you could catch some trout around grass flats with that lure!
@@SeeYaDude Right on man, plenty of that down here in Mississippi lol
Another great video! What’s your PB trout?
My PB trout is 26"
Sick!! Is it in one of your videos?
Unfortunately it's not, I caught it back in high school before I started filming. Live shrimp under a bobber while kayak fishing
@@SeeYaDude gotcha. Keep the videos coming bro! I look forward to those notifications
I just bought the green back mirrodine twitch bait
What are your thoughts on switching the treble hooks for a normal style hook? Do you think it affects the hook up ratio?
I've never used a hard bait with single hooks on it before so I can't speak on hook up ratio personally. But, I do know single hooks cause less damage to the fish, they're easier to unhook/handle, and I do know people that say fish stay pinned better with single hooks
@@SeeYaDude yes I sometimes find treble hooks to be a pain when unhooking especially "trash" fish like puffers. Thank you for y reply I appreciate the time
Were.’s the net
Bro you sound like Jon b
Hey are there any kayaks you reccomend
I love my Malibu Stealth-9 Kayak
What rod are you using there?
St. Croix Avid Inshore 7’ light action rod
“HUGE TROUT” but looks smaller than the 19’
10 bucks venmo for whoever can show me this spot on a chart 😁😁😁
Your not gonna get big with a shit ton of commercials
Doa sucks get some Vudu or savage gear shrimp
DOA’s are cheaper and more available here in Tampa. The Savage gear always melts on me even when I store them separately. The VUDU are legit. Love them. Worth the extra cash TBH.
