Wow just seeing this out of the box th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.
i've been watching all so many fishing youtube but this guy is real. not only fishing skills. camera works, diction the way he presents are also great.
Loved you and your Dad's video on the T- Drop knot for dropper rigs or high-low rigs, I have used it ever since. Keep up the good content and teaching new and old Fisherman a few things.
I always release bull reds here in Texas or anywhere i go. People get angry at me but im hoping some day we have schools of reds 10,000 strong like in Virginia.
I have never tried surf fishing, but after watching your videos it looks like so much fun. Thank you for hooking me up to a new type of fishing. Good luck to you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! It helped me with my first surf fishing time last weekend 😃. I catched 5 Crevalle Jacks in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico, at the pacific. One was a 2 pounder, not bad for a first timer uh! Can’t wait to return to the beach and use more of your tricks 😊.
Skipper you're a good man, you're lady is a baby doll I love watching her good job on filming you. Call her baby doll a few times on your show that way I know you read the comments. It's nice having your pops rolling with you when he can.
Thank you heyskipper for making these videos! It paid off alot because I just caught me a 19lbs redfish! My very first big fish as a beginner fisherman! Thank you again and keep posting badass videos to help others who wants to fish in the future!
Thank you for your time and videos extremely informative and helpful. I’m new to salt water fishing and these beach fishing tips give me a whole new world to explore it’s almost like being a kid again
Taking my fishing cap off before you Mr Fisherman 🎣🐟😍👍🏻👏🏻 I'm very well appreciative of your words of encouragement for taking care of the fish and for encouraging people to respect fishing regulations everywhere you fish. I'm a fisherwoman and love the sport of catch and release, but a Redfish and/or a Snookie, it's a treat for your taste buds 😋😍 A new subscriber here... Great fishing and my blessings from the Universe 🙌🏻🌈🎏🚣♀️🦈🐠🐟🎣🌞😎
Good stuff. Going to Buxton on Tuesday. Really like that new style of tying Hi-Lo rig. Definitely be in the water on Tuesday. Drum, Trout, Whiting, Puffers, Black Drum, Blues.... here we come!
Riggs.. was in Buxton last week and were catching red drum in the surf just north of the old lighthouse location using hand tied 20lb pink Ande mono hi-lo rigs. We caught more than anyone else using these light line rigs. Largest 27” red was caught on a nickel size sandflea, lol. All others using squid and mullet chunks. Smallest red was 23”. All caught in front of the first sandbar. Good luck to you!!
Thanks for your videos. I live in Tennessee and make my way to PC a few times a year and spend the week fishing. Your videos have made a big difference for me. Hope to meet you someday. Im actually heading down in the morning for a few weeks. God bless.
You guys are so fun to watch. I love that the camera lady cheers you on and knows some stuff about fishing too. She's a keeper! Your feet must have been freezing! Love the drum sound track that made my heart stop beating while you were reeling in that big redfish. Great jobs guys! I want to go fishing with you!
Some time people are new to pier fishing too , so it would help if you see someone catching big fish , help them learn by teaching them . I fish freshwater , went to my first pier , caught a big lady fish, was going to use it for bait , had it in my wire basket and drop the line at 10 feet and it kill the fish on impact , but I learn NOT to do that next time
@@reelfishing002 You are so right about teaching people how to do it right. Since I was really young my father and I would help net fish, offer bait that is working, recommend hook size etc.,where to go etc. Now I have so many poles, lures and terminal tackle I just plan on giving away stuff to that person who needs it. I also carry two piece rod upper halves if someone breaks a rod or I just give them a whole setup. You just drove all the way here and now you're going home? Here's a rod, buddy, you're staying. Bait shop closed or sold out or too far a drive? Take mine, I'll try some lures so I know better which lure to recommend. Last time I went pier fishing with a coworker and his family. He spent the whole time netting fish for people because I made a 25' handled net. He had a great time doing it. I hit on the right setup catching more fish than most so I was giving away similar tackle. I also make laminated fish ID and regulation printouts to give away and post for all to look at but of course everyone can check their phones. Fishing is a social bonding experience.
I’ve seen videos where people use different casting technique for these 15’ rods that just fly out there , but you need lots of room to do this circle swing , can’t wait to try it this weekend 😁 I’ve try shrimps that went 1-1.5 days (it started out frozen ) and by the time I’ve try to use it , it stink BAD , and just falls off way too easy
Great job. I’ve been watching you over the years and you have really come along way with your skills and your confidence. Cheers and positive vibes for Morrison Colorado.
@@HeySkipper You two have fished my old stomping grounds from Solomon’s island”I lived on the naval air station when I was a kid” to Jax beach FL. To Sebastian inlet. I have caught yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi and wahoo when I lived in the Virgin Islands. Have you thought of going to St. Thomas USVI and take a boat out? There is a dolphin derby every year and a lot of mahi-mahi get caught. There’s also a marlin tournament. And a king fish tournament on Bastille day.
@Hey Skipper I live around Wilmington NC, and out in the intercoastal at low tide you can usually walk out into the water 50-60ft. or more and cast out where the schools of finger mullet are. I have a small 4' net like you were throwing in the beginning of this video as well as a larger 7' net and if you hit one of those schools with that bigger net you can pull more of those mullet in one cast that you can possibly use in a day. Even the 4' net can get you stocked up in 2-3 good landing casts. Drop them in a 5gallon bucket of that water with a small bottle of frozen water and $5 bubble aerator,... you've got live bait all day. (even those long days) At low tide in a lot of these areas, the water comes up to about mid-stomach (I'm 5' 10.5" for reference). You can walk right out if you don't mind getting wet, and if you have high waders you can go pretty far without even that.
Also... If you have a YETI cooler, even one of the smaller ones, you can fill it up with only ice and leave it out of the sun (inside the car maybe...) and it will usually keep ice for most of the week at this time of year.
We want to see Erin catching some fish too! From baiting up, casting in,- all of the whole procedure! !🙂 🎣🐟🐠🐟🎣 🙂! As some others have mentioned too, cut the tail fin off as it can cause spin while casting, & in water current! 🙂
i love salted baits, they keep for a long time, really nice when you can't get out as often as you'd like xD got some minnie minnow and shrimp salted, waiting for my next day off Thursday xD
I used to toss the net for shrimp and mullet to get bait when I lived in Fl. Now up north so bought a new one to use at the Jersey shore. Got my PB Redfish on mullet; 44" long, but no scale with me.
congrats guys weather closing in hard and you caught some nice fish specially after 2 days I use the heavy setup 10'once lines big baits works every time well done mate see ya next time
Thanks for sharing , been following you for a long time , and your always well spoken and your tutorials are so so helpful . I try to surf fish here in Monterey County California.... And this is so encouraging to watch you surf fish...
Tip... steel leaders tip 2 when you use a whole mullet Cut just the tail off so it bleeds a little bit. And forget the pyramid weights use spider surf weights. You can use less weight with the same hold fold the legs down a little works great and good video my brother
I go back and watch as many of your videos before we go on our annual fishing trip i to topsail NC lol always good to do a refresher course lol and I try and teach as many as I can on proper handling of fish . Fresh water or salt !
I was born and raised in NC. My dad took me to the beach to fish, after first teaching me the basics with fishing in our pond and the local lake, from the time I was 7-8 yrs old. I have been to the OBX a handful of times in my life, I have been to Harkers Island many times, but over my life (45 yrs) I usually fish the Atlantic beach - Emerald Isle - Morehead - Beaufort areas. I am planning to hit up the OBX this fall, since I finally have a 4WD truck, and having a go at it. Could you do a video on your camping setup and the gear you have with you when you are camping on the beach? How do you manage to deal with ice (or lack of, in this case)? How do you kill the fish you plan to eat, like do you bop them on the head or do you use that method where you jam an ice pick in a specific spot? The tents, the sleeping gear, cooking gear, and what things you have to make it a bit easier to handle the elements? I have tried setting up a tent on the beach before, yet the constant onshore wind tore it up in about 3-4 hours. I know I am asking a lot of questions, but I have never been able to actually stay several days on the beach like you are doing in this video and it has been 20 years since the last time I was on the OBX. It seems hwy 12 is rarely passable without a 4WD. But I have that now, and me and my wife, daughter, and my dad enjoy the beach and fishing and so I want to do more of this. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Also, how would someone go about getting you and Erin's autographs without having the chance to meet y'all?
I found that in the OBX my best bait was the fresh finger mullet. If I left the bait in the water for more than five to ten minutes with out a bite it became crap food. I also poked wholes in the finger mullets just behind the gills and cut the tails off. Fish On!
Thank you for that message about catch and PROPER release. It's the best tool we have to preserve the fisheries for future generations.

See how great is mr skipper...very responsible citizen and an honest man...keep it up
The music selection was great with the 32 over slot redfish, it was like watching a movie, had me at the edge for real EXCITING
I love this dude!! When it comes to catching fish him and his family are the truth!!
I always release bull reds here in Texas or anywhere i go. People get angry at me but im hoping some day we have schools of reds 10,000 strong like in Virginia.
Your comments are so relevant and down to earth. I enjoy watching you.
The best video for learning how to bait a rig for beach fishing! I want to learn more!!!

Love your spreading of the ethical fishing ethos. Great to watch the Hey Skipper combo Erin adds a nice soft touch
Great instruction. Thanks. I will try your ideas at New Smyrna Beach, FL
