Dude, I just wanted to say thank you. You’ve taught me so much about beach fishing and I’m out all the time now catching fish thanks to you!! All the best to you and your family.
I am an audio-visual learner. I used to live and fish the Chesapeake Bay and NEVER PAID FOR FOOD! Now, I live on the west coast. Wedged between a beach and bay. I'm learning how to work these tricky devils. Thank you for all your information and outstanding shooting!
Thanks , my family is going to the beach and Ive never surf fished, been watching your TH-cam videos. Hope we can catch some fish. Thanks for showing me how.
I could just watch you guys all day😁I know it sounds weird but a lot of times I watch just before bedtime the sound of the waves and just watching you guys fish is so peaceful it puts me to sleep❤️ I wish you guys had a reality show it would be just as good as the Chrisley’s😁
When I was a kid my dad and uncle used to make us kids catch sand fleas for them. We had no idea they were using them for bait. It was just fun for us to catch them.
@@HeySkipper, yes I get my son and niece to catch them while fishing radio island here in NC, catch alot of puffers and croakers, but I let them keep the big ones to play with. Also a bit of salted anything keeps the little buggers on the hook. Love the channel and keep on catching man. Life is good. Hope you guys are staying safe , much love from NC and DE.
I look forward to your weekly videos I learn something new each one. Hope to see Erin more in future videos it is good to see a woman into fishing like she is and it shows the young girls that they can do it too,and how fun it is. Thanks for all you do. And Tight Line's .
So in south Africa the first fish you caught we call a shad and its one of the best fish to eat And the second one is called a kob and they can grow really big
His second fish was a Drum, (as he said,) related to Cob in SA and Mulloway, -in Australia. USA, - Red & Black drums from shore. Freshwater Drum species in USA, some say not as nice as sw Drums. They all have large otoliths, - ear balancing stones! "sand fleas" are mole crabs! 🎣🐟🎣
awesome video! i personally prefer using baits that matches the enviornment like clams off the sandy beach is one. plus its so epic wen the target species and species gets hooked onto your hook so easily especially wen you use a specific bait which also helps to avoid unwanted species.
Lol, never heard about dead fish slapping technics to catch sand fleas, usually just doing hand digging technics 🤣 I will try it with dead fish next time. But I need to catch fish first to have dead fish. So, I will use digging technics first 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for videos. Wave sounds in your videos are really peaceful. I feel a breeze on my face and salty taste on my lips while watching your video. Can’t wait to get to OBX for summer break. 👍
@@HeySkipper barred surf perch and other perch varieties love the sand fleas, I fish with them on Morro Bay Strait beach , it’s the Central Valley of California, caught a few smelt , I’m guessing a striper bass might bite on em to. Your videos are great I really enjoy watching , you ever fish on California surf?
how i've always caught them is when a big wave recedes, it pulls the flees out of the sand, so as soon as the water is gone you see a bunch of holes where they burrowed, just pick up like a 2x2x4 inch hole near the wholes and you will find one. if you have a shovel just scoop up that bit of sand and throw it in a bucket, then do it with a bunch more holes and then sift it. they also make sand flee rakes which are pretty much just a crab trap with a stick on it and you pull it through the sand. these work well too.
Great video again! Just a few comments that might increase your bites and hookups. Firstly at about the 6:10 mark, I see your father using 5 hooks and all seem to have the same bait and bait/hook size. This is close to pointless in my opinion, unless that option is by far the best to get the fish you want at that time. When you use multiple leaders/hooks rigs, it is by far the best to use different baits and/or bait/hook sizes. That way you increase the chances for bites. You should have the largest hook/bait closest to the sinker and then have smaller baits/hooks the further away from the sinker you go. By having different kinds of bait and bait sizes, you give the fish more options and you increase your chances for offering the fish what it wants the most. Another thing I often see you do, is overcrowding your circle hooks with bait. You might not realize it and many don't, but you increase the bait stealing and reduce your hookups when you overcrowd a circle hook with bait. You should NEVER almost fill up a circle hook with bait as you often do with a J-hook. If you do that with a circle hook, you hamper the circle hook's ability to "hookup" the fish that bites. The less that is hanging onto the circle hook and filling it up, the better it hooks the fish. Don't be tempted to thread on 2 sand flies+ a piece of salted clam and maybe some more on a circle hook as I saw you did at about 4:00. I know you catch fish that way, but I am sure you would get more hookups by using less bait threaded on your circle hook. One trick I often use when I want to use bait that is loose and easily fall off, get stolen or is difficult to get attached to the circle hook without overcrowding the hook, is a netted elastic bait bag that I attach to the circle hook with a thread/line, in a similar way as a carp fishing hair rig. I specially use this bag if I want to use fresh mussels and/or clams as bait, or when I want to use multiple baits on the same hook to avoid overcrowding the circle hook. I often make these bags out of the elastic plastic bags onions often are packed in here. I am sure it will work great when you want to use sand fleas as bait as well. I also very often use this hair rig when I want to bait with fish heads or whole fish. I highly recommend that you try not to be overcrowding your circle hooks. I also highly recommend that you try using some sort of bait bags with a hair rig. And lastly I highly recommend you trying to use a hair rig when using larger baits like a fish head or a whole fish on a circle hook. I promise that you will increase your hookups a lot. And what can be better than that when you are fishing? Looking forward to your next video! :)
Great job love your post. Couple questions I’m looking at a 5000 size real using 20lb braid What color of braid would be best for Denton florida surf fishing? Also what weight of flora carbon and color for leader and how long? Thanks keep up the great job.
Hello thank you for this new video once again really pleasant to watch. Could you please show the sabiki technique how it is practiced at sea because I find it enjoyable to practice on board like your dad does. Very good weekend ☺👍

Thanks Ben! Have a kid one:)
When I was a kid my dad and uncle used to make us kids catch sand fleas for them. We had no idea they were using them for bait. It was just fun for us to catch them.
Have you tried them since?

Good advise your leaning some good things there , all ya need now is some big fish and your done .
love everythinf hey skipper does and its so useful to us
In California we have sand crabs. We use a net with the surf and move our feet to catch them in the net.
I look forward to your weekly videos I learn something new each one. Hope to see Erin more in future videos it is good to see a woman into fishing like she is and it shows the young girls that they can do it too,and how fun it is. Thanks for all you do. And Tight Line's .
Yes, you are right!...

Good advice thanks! Love your family and that's a nice camper pad on top of your truck,I've pondered building one.
Two thumbs up for the camera lady making these guys look good!
That's cool.....free baits......
Another awesome video...always like watching your saltwater videos
Very easy to watch, outstanding video, sound, content, commentary. You are pros. Thank you, God Bless you.
I found they work great for single hook hand fishing though but yeah for surf fishing you want a tuff bait. Great video
Lol watching you slap that fish made my entire month
Thank you
Come back the rockfish are biting on both sides MD and DE
I have a sand flea rake and it’s the best investment I’ve ever made. Highly recommend.
I have one, just didn’t bring it lol!
I enjoy watching I live in Texas, but alot of your techniques work on the Texas coast. Great job.
Awesome video, thanks to you. I am back in the saltwater but I still fish my freshwater
Great fishing video
Iscas de tatuira são muito boas para pesca de papa terra show de pescaria 🎣 parabéns!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the sand flea demo and the other baits.
Another really good video man, love the channel. Not sure I’m going to be slapping the beach with a dead fish anytime soon, but it was fun to watch!

We don't have those sand fleas here in the UK but looking at hem, I can't help but feel that a bait band is the way to hook them.
Great job love your post. Couple questions I’m looking at a 5000 size real using 20lb braid
What color of braid would be best for Denton florida surf fishing? Also what weight of flora carbon and color for leader and how long?
Thanks keep up the great job.
cant wait to watch
Let me know what you think
Hello thank you for this new video once again really pleasant to watch. Could you please show the sabiki technique how it is practiced at sea because I find it enjoyable to practice on board like your dad does. Very good weekend ☺👍
Hey Skipper.. don't you eat the rays? They're awesome tasting.
I guess almost anything will bite sand fleas. Congratulations on catching a lot of fish. God bless you and your family love y'all my friends
Where do you primarily fish out of?
Great bait for sure although it only attracts dog fishes and rays in jersey water.
I viewed one of the video that you had out there at Subastain inlet
