Trout LOVE ballyhoo. I used to fish the Port O'Connor jetties at night with ballyhoo a lot. At first we used a light, but then we started turning the light off, and found that we caught more, bigger fish in the dark. Hook them up under the mouth and out through the top of the beak and you can catch several trout on the same bait. You would think that you would miss a lot of hookups because the ballyhoo were so big, but that almost never happened. It's best to break the end of the beak off, so that it doesn't catch on the leader and cause the ballyhoo to spin. They absolutely have to pull straight.
I had a flounder boat, and in the summer the flats are full of ballyhoo that you can scoop up with a long-handled net. You have to slowly net them from the front. You have zero chance of scooping them from behind. Zero chance. The trout understand that, and they seem to always attack the ballyhoo from the head end. We had many nights where none of the many trout we caught were under 20 inches, and we had at least one fish over 25 inches most nights - often more than one of them.
Ballyhoo are oily, and redfish love them too. Some nights the redfish were so active that we couldn't get past them to catch any trout. We got in a habit of floundering early, then netting our ballyhoo and heading to the jetties for trout/redfish. And, yes, we caught "limit slams" more than a few times. I wouldn't keep that many fish today, but back then things were different.
Thanks for the information. I wonder which spots are to catch the ballyhoo very interesting!!
I worked with some guys in Freeport who wouldn’t even go home 2 or 3 nights a week. Got off work, straight to the jetties and fish all night. They caught ballyhoo out there in a castnet and almost always caught monster trout on them. Pretty much every night they went they would catch a 7+ pound trout. Then come in and catch an hour or three of sleep at their desk before work. Lol
@@MrOmar60 Ballyhoo are all over Texas bays during the warm months - Spring to Fall basically. It's hard to get them without a boat because they are VERY fast when they want to be. If you're at the jetties fishing with a light, they will come close to the boat and you can use a long-handled net or a cast net to catch them. But you asked which spots, and the answer is that just about any flats area has them. The best area is in about 2 1/2 - 4 feet of water, but they will be shallower and deeper, just in smaller numbers. A lot of people think they are little gar, but you learn to tell the difference pretty quickly. They look like little billfish. Usually you will see them in loose groups of maybe 4-6, and you can scoop several of them before the rest swim too far away.
If anyone reads this and doesn't have a flounder boat, we also used to get them out of a tunnel hull boat my friend owned. You can use the outboard, but that's pretty tough. We poled along with a flood-pattern light on the bow. It's a little hard to handle a pole and a net, so usually we would take turns. It's not hard at all to get a couple of dozen and go fishing while they're still fresh.
@@matthewtischler918 LOL. I love guys who love it that much. When I was in college I would go to class, go to work, go fishing all night... come back the next morning and clean fish, shower in the field house at school, and do it all over. I remember sitting down to watch a Cowboys game after three nights of that, and waking up on Monday not knowing where I was.
That’s awesome sounds like back then there was a lot of fish ! I’ve always heard awesome stories from port o Connor I definitely have to go one day
Congratulations to your pops. Thx for sharing the new info on the regulations. Great video.

@@JettyMan O lol I was like wth lol!! Balihoo that’s was a rare catch for sure ima try cast netting for them next time they’re trout candy when u cutt the long thing on there mouth…
hell yeah JettyMan !! another killer video at the jetties ! Awesome ..what rod and reel do you use ?
Twin power 5000 2015 model. Rod Okuma 9’6 cecillio light
thats crazy ive only seen ballywho in the florida keys and it is some great bait
That’s why I was so surprised. I thought it was a needle fish at first !
Good job. How deep did set the slip cork for? Size single hook and under the shrimps horn.
Around 9ft deep. Size 4 j hook.
Dude!!
I would see them about 10 years ago by the pier under the bridge coming up not the island called clems marina they would swim up to the light eating the minnows swarming the lights under the pier idk if the lights or pier is still there though
Great video! Are your slip corks weighted?
No
Jettyman, how do you decide to fish surf side or Quintana side jetty?
Weather time of year and any reports.
looks awesome buddy. whats the water temperature?
It’s sitting at around 73F
Great video try using a shallow water large rapala with a fairly fast retrieve
I will give it a shot soon !
Thanks. Can you recommend a color, please?
@@joshgordon2484 For me I like blue and white, green and white, its also good to have a bright color one
Whats the model of lure?
Awesome trout and what part of the Jetty's was the caught at going to Rockport in about two weeks and don't have a boat but what Jetty's do you recommend to go to and what kinda live bait to use, Thank you...
I fish the surfside jetty in Freeport
Live shrimp is the best bait to use !
wow one day I want to catch a sheepshead for the first time. I saw last vid you use mono for your main line and this time you use braid . Is there any differnt?
I was using mono this time too. I just had a shorter leader you can see it on the video. Mono is better for live bait and braid is better for spoons.
@@JettyMan that Yellow line is not braid?
Yes. Braid. On top of the braid is mono.
Jettyman, what weight of sinker above the swivel?
1/2 oz
Yo what mic do you use with the GoPro? Seems to handle the wind pretty well.
same question. I wonder if its the media mod?
Purple panda microphone.
Bro I think I seen you yesterday on the surf side jetty. Wasn’t 100% sure it was you though lol
Yeah was there !
Yeah I was there *
The only time I’ve caught sheepshead on the flats was on a spinner bait. It was weird
Wow lol that’s very weird !
@@JettyMan I thought it was a fluke the first time. The other times, I have no idea.
How many did you get ?
@@JettyMan I think I caught 4 or 5 that day. I was fishing shamrock cove on the south shoreline of cc bay.
What kind of spinner bait, please. Size, color, single blade,Colorado or willowleaf please?
where are you fishing @.
That 20 to 30 release is kind of dumb, if you ask me...
Definitely agree, good thing where close to Lousiana
just imagine someone with a dead pole and a live mullet....gut hook
Are u in south padre island jetties
No. Freeport Texas
Trout is 15-20” now to keep
That’s right 👍
Are you specifically jetty fishing in Galveston, Texas city area?
One sec, ima add you on my main account
Yes
Hey brother this is my other account, I’m a fishing brand owner, and wanted to know if I could give you some free gear, shirt hat, etc
Send me an email with your information 👍
Wait, what's the regulations on speckled trouts? I've fished in Galveston and never heard, or seen what regulations there are against keeping speckled trout.
3 a day in the slot size 15-20 and one over 30 inches that counts towards your daily limit
@@JettyMan Oh ok, for a second I thought it was you can't keep them at all. My family caught em a lot, and we kept a few.
What do you by mean 15-21 over 30?
New Texas regulations. 3 per person 15-20 one over 30 as part of your daily limit
How do you hook your shrimp?
Under the horn by the head
Your viewers might want a video tutorial!
I will include it next video I make 👍
When was this jettyman. Jettyman living large . Twin and stella?
What reel do you prefer out of these two? Dad is a good net man.
I prefer the Stella for live bait and the twin power for spoon/artificial. This was last Saturday. Thanks again for your comment Abraham!
I had to rewind a lil when I heard Stella!!
Muni Long 🤑
Thx for the vid
🤑🤑
Trouts are in salt water???
Where u at?
Where is that
Surfside pier in Surfside Tx. It’s just south of Galveston and close to the Brazos River Outlet
Use half a crab to catch 50 inch redfish
Where's this at? Fixing take my grandkids looking for decent spot
Surfside jetty Texas. Good spot just be careful because the rocks can be slippery and dangerous
Where every thing that comes into the bays, and leave the bay is JETTIES.. Port A is a great place to fish. So yes there excellent places to fish > Lot of good eating on that fish! Shame had to throw it back in! Same with REDFISH! I hated like hell had to throw them back in. Males? FEMALES YES! NP WITH THAT..
When was this?
Saturday afternoon
Where exactly is this jetty at ?
Surfside jetty Freeport Texas
why did u throw big trout ?
what are the rules for it ?
3 per person 15-20. Or 30+ any fish from 21-29 needs to be released
Lies
No lies
I promise you that trout didnt die lol
great video homie :p
It was hooked in the gills. But like I said I’ve caught bass that have been gill hooked before and they survive. Obviously I hope the trout lived on 👍
@@JettyMan ahhh i see well hopefully man was ok :p
Nice Catch & Release. ...go make lots of babies.
Freakin horrible tpw with that freakin new Reg. Bleeding big trout after y’all heehawed around finally letting it go it probably died. Gotta let ‘em go back instantly without getting them all over the rocks.
Yeah that’s pretty hard.
Let tpwd deal with the dumb ass decisions they’ve made
And why did you make that trout that big in the pic first it is so fake looking if you know anything about fishing come on get real
Color enhancements. TH-cam lowers the thumbnail resolution so I fix the colors to make it more appealing
