Guys you can catch sandfleas without the rake. All you need to do is stand in the surf and dig you feet in as the waves come in, creating a "bowl". Then as the water goes out again just look inside your "bowl" and there will be sandfleas trying to borrow themselves back into the sea sand. We used to do this all the time as kids! The crab net would also work well - just put it in front of your feet and use your feet to stir up the sand as the water goes out, flushing the fleas into the net!
Caught a lot of Spanish & Bluefish off those jetties....and yes, there is typically some clown who drives their boat right through where you’re casting.
Once again the ocean proving how much we don’t know about it. I’ve been studying ichthyology for awhile and never even heard of a rabbit fish. Thank you Brant for teaching me something new today👍🏻
Ole Ron's been pampered all his life. You haven't lived , truly had the real flavor of a decent fish meal until you've experienced fish cooked whole. Get over a bone or two here or there. It's not embarrassing to extract one occasionally. The awesome flavor of that fish being cooked whole will eventually keep you from worrying about it. YUM YUM. lol
When I read the video title, "I Did NOT Want To Catch THIS at The Beach!" I almost fell out of my chair laughing. It is almost verbatim what my friend said to his Doctor when he got the results of the little fling he had we a girl he met at a party.
I've noticed that Fred be posing for the 🎥 camera ., and pretending he ain't noticing what Yall doing . I've never ever heard of a rabbit fish in my life...wow !
@@andersonmcbride29 I forgot if I had the initial idea or heard about it many years ago but when the fleas are running the strainer works. But of course a good rake is way better
Dude your fishing in my backyard. I fish that spot all the time and never seen a puffer like that. Great video I pulled a pomp/whiting and hard head out just up the beach from where you fished yesterday. Beach fishing is starting to heat up
Should have went to Church on Sunday and you would have not got skunked on the beach! My old preacher used to say: "The Lord don't bless those who fish on Sunday!" Wow, that Rabbit Fish was awesome, I get so jealous of you guys hanging out and doing what I would do whenever I could get out of work!!!!! Great Video, Ron could do a whole channel on just taking fish...he is soooo squeemish!
My son and I went surf fishing in Daytona Beach FL today. Fished from 1:30 pm to 7pm. Line up. 2 1/2 whiting got sharked. 1 two foot shark. 5 blue fish using the sharked whiting for bait. Water is still to cold for sandfleas and Pompano. We still had fun though. 🎣
Spanish mackerel are really underappreciated in my opinion. They're fun to catch, great to eat, plenty of them, and most states have large catch limits. Light tackle spanish mackerel are a blast!
That was cool . Ive never actually seen one of those. Awesome vid like always. And definitely gonna be picking up some of Bama's Bum Bites n support another great youtube angler.
I've cooked blue fish with salt and pepper seasoning and squeeze some fresh lemons on it.. Wrap it in aluminum foil and bake in the over or even on the grill for 7 to 10 minutes. Depending on the size fish. Delicious!
Love it! I know the struggles of fishing! But it’s fun hanging out with you guys! I wish could join in on all the adventures. Because that’s the kinda stuff I enjoy. Some times it works great. Other times not so much but it’s the adventure that matters.
Wow, good to see the Spanish are already active. We won't see them till late May here at Atlantic Beach NC, even then we have to Kayak out a little ways to get them. Love them butterfly filet on the Pit Boss pellet smoker using Hickory pellets. Yummie, Yummie... Tight lines my brothers.
Fun video fread is always there with you guys, always good for see a different fish that rabbit fish was amazing to see! The cooking bit was amusing Ron what whole fish!!
Rabbit fish are damn fine eating! When I was shrimping we caught them all the time. I never saw one that big, though, and I never heard of one way up on the beach like that. You slice down the back through the skin, stick yout thumb and forefinger in, and strip the skin and guts right off, then twist the head off and you have almost pure meat, like a big fishy chicken leg.
I’m heard that the Spanish taste best when you bleed them out immediately ... true or false Brant ? If so , how would you go about bleeding them out ? I heard there’s like something in their gill plate or something where you just snap that and it quickly bleeds them out . I could be wrong . Thanks in advance .
Brant since you got back to kayaking and beach fishing is back on, can you do kayak a line out far from the beach? I would love to see this...love your videos very educational and fun! Hope you can do this teach us the dos and don'ts of kayaking lines out
I had never heard of a rabbit fish until yesterday. My wife caught 5 of them off a small jetty at Keaton Beach, FL. Apparently they are a nuisance fish and destroy commercial traps with those teeth. Unfortunately, that's all we caught beside 1 pinfish and 1 remora. Weird day of fishing.
What is your rod/reel combo for the surf (that you caught the rabbit with) and what reel do you have on your Toadfish rod? I'm just getting into surf fishing and IT'S A BLAST!!
For pompano, you're fishing waaaay too far out. Put the sand fleas within 25 feet of shore (in less than 2 feet deep). I've hooked pompanos with their backs out of the water.
Really like your catch and cook videos, always learning new way to cook fish. But calling bs on Ron really spending 2k and you being that cool about it lol
$ 2,000. 00 all I saw was a " crab net " ? What was the other $ 1, 990.00 for ? Also this is the first Rabbit / Puffer Fish I've ever seen , wow ! Still a cool catch / cook video . Tom Daytona Beach, FL. 17, March 2021 .
Man these videos can’t get any better actually. Smiling the whole time watching it! When beach bum showed up that was awesome! Love the catch fillet and cook videos and especially fishing from the beach.
Wow! Thought this was a click bait post. That is an odd catch for sure. I'm reading about these, they may be invasive to FL. Nobody can say for sure. Deermeatfordinner guy did a catch and cook with one about that size. Says it is amazing. The meat to come off of it was huge.
Really enjoyed the video my friends they're always comical and they're very fun to watch I enjoyed watching you guys catch those fish also believe cameraman Ron was a little squeamish about that whole fish LOL I hope he's alright again really enjoyed it you guys take care your friend Billy Simmons
Castmasters tear up the spanish. The ones with the white feather do really well. Surprising we caught yellow tail, grouper and spanish and took them in to Schooners in Jupiter for lunch and everybody said the Spanish tasted the best which was really surprising.
I've watched several of your videos now and I've noticed your retrieval speed is really fast. Much faster than I'd use for any fresh water fish am I correct? Or are you using reels with a slower gear ratio?
Guys l live in Washington state now and I’m missin fishin in Fla. Just the way it goes. We do have some good fishing up here but the fishing reg book is 144 pages log. Who knew? (I had a lake house in Winter Park)

Why do you call them sand fleas lmaoooo they are Sand Crabs lol
@@Prest00n here in South Africa we actually call them sea lice…
@@Prest00n They're called either sand fleas, sand crabs, mole crabs, there are like 5 names for them lmaoooo

Well you learned there were rabbit fish, from this video, but you've not learned what they look like :)
It’s a puffer fish, they call it a rabbit fish, it a sooth puffer and that was actually a very big one
You guys are awesome, you bum and Ron make a really good team. I love doing catfish whole on the grill with lemon pepper , butter and garlic
Brant: ***Loosens drag***
Also Brant: Shocked that the puffer pulls drag
Haha

See's puffer fish... "aye can you sell him" 😅😅
I started saying to myself, “he’s releasing the fish he’s not fucking selling it”. 🤣
😂😂😂
Funny how Brant turned his clock forward 1 and a half hours. Most of us on the east coast just do 59 or 61 minutes forward. WOW....
When I read the video title, "I Did NOT Want To Catch THIS at The Beach!" I almost fell out of my chair laughing. It is almost verbatim what my friend said to his Doctor when he got the results of the little fling he had we a girl he met at a party.
When u go out as a fisherman but come home a crabber 😩
Cameraman Ron is getting the education of a lifetime...all he has to do is survive it.
@@CameramanRon Just be polite (and let them go first ;-)
Ron reminds me of my ex-wife, would send her out to get me a hamburger,and find out my debit card has been limited out.🤷🤷🤷
I've noticed that Fred be posing for the 🎥 camera ., and pretending he ain't noticing what Yall doing . I've never ever heard of a rabbit fish in my life...wow !
Beach fishing can be a lot of fun! Especially when you get a Big Red!
Nice catches! Supprised that C.M. Ron hasn't had whole fish before. Well that has expanded his horizons now so there is no limits now!
"This ain't Captain D's Ron" ....LOL
Hilarious!!!!
If you ever need a sand flea rake in a jiffy, get pasta strainers from the store
No lie, that’s probably the smartest thing I’ve seen all day
@@andersonmcbride29 I forgot if I had the initial idea or heard about it many years ago but when the fleas are running the strainer works. But of course a good rake is way better
@@SuperJox Thabks for the idea! I’m fore sure gonna do that bc I really don’t want to spend $40 on a actual rake
Early morning and at dusk on the incoming tide is the best times to fish. You were there at the right time.
Dude your fishing in my backyard. I fish that spot all the time and never seen a puffer like that. Great video I pulled a pomp/whiting and hard head out just up the beach from where you fished yesterday. Beach fishing is starting to heat up
I love to watch your videos!! Always an added blessing when Fred shows up!! The catch and cook was awesome!!! It looked delish!!!
A $2000 sand flea rake.
Yes, Amazing!
That was a cool catch never saw one of those rabbit fish before. Thanks for what you do!
Bro I can see the condo I stayed at and left on saturday, just missed ya, great vid
That was a giant pufferfish. Those surf rods look like wels catfish setups we use here in Germany

I had an uncle who used to say, "If you go fishing on Sunday you are likely to catch the devil!"
My son and I went surf fishing in Daytona Beach FL today. Fished from 1:30 pm to 7pm.
Line up. 2 1/2 whiting got sharked.
1 two foot shark.
5 blue fish using the sharked whiting for bait.
Water is still to cold for sandfleas and Pompano. We still had fun though. 🎣
Just moved to Florida. Used to catching trout in the northeast. Your videos are lifesavers for getting into it here. Thanks my guy!!

"Started seeing them bust ontop and that's when I started filming"

Even Fred didn't want any part of that puffer 😂
that’s a absolute MONSTER smooth puffer!
I sit and watch the se vidio s brings me back to my
To the facto i'm a retired bandita and longline fisherman of twenty five plus year. Maleš me miss the live and camaradiery of it.
You may wang to take a look at flagler beach and piper area
Love it! I know the struggles of fishing! But it’s fun hanging out with you guys! I wish could join in on all the adventures. Because that’s the kinda stuff I enjoy. Some times it works great. Other times not so much but it’s the adventure that matters.
That is the biggest puffer fish I have seen. That face only a mother could love.
Look up porcupine puffers. They get MASSIVE
And fahaka puffers
Wow, good to see the Spanish are already active. We won't see them till late May here at Atlantic Beach NC, even then we have to Kayak out a little ways to get them. Love them butterfly filet on the Pit Boss pellet smoker using Hickory pellets. Yummie, Yummie... Tight lines my brothers.
I really enjoyed your fishing adventures. I always learn something 😍
Thank you for the catch and cook. I am going to have to try that recipe.
Bro us Fred’s are always at the beach good to see CMR check off a bunch of first’s
I always thought getting there hours ahead was the best part. No people !
Fun video fread is always there with you guys, always good for see a different fish that rabbit fish was amazing to see!
The cooking bit was amusing Ron what whole fish!!
I really enjoy watching your videos it give me options of gear to use if i ever go fish in the southern states thank you for your videos
You should try a tarpon pond fishing video, I have a pond near me with a bunch of big ones just not sure Exactly what I’m doing 😂
yay brant I was hoping you would post today! Cant wait to Watch!
Rabbit fish are damn fine eating! When I was shrimping we caught them all the time. I never saw one that big, though, and I never heard of one way up on the beach like that.

100% user error with the bum bites. Anyone who’s not a complete Googan can catch fish with them.
Now you gotta film Ron eating a Fishbite just to prove what he said! LOL
Late today, went and got me some more googan baits to use here
Awesome Rabbit! I typically put my shrimp on then fishbites so the shrimp stays on longer
I’m heard that the Spanish taste best when you bleed them out immediately ... true or false Brant ? If so , how would you go about bleeding them out ? I heard there’s like something in their gill plate or something where you just snap that and it quickly bleeds them out . I could be wrong . Thanks in advance .
Hands down my favorite fishing channel, just the most wholesome vibes here. Keep on fishing!
I have camera man Ron bad juju to when I leave everything hits.
Brant since you got back to kayaking and beach fishing is back on, can you do kayak a line out far from the beach? I would love to see this...love your videos very educational and fun! Hope you can do this teach us the dos and don'ts of kayaking lines out
How TF did that thing pull drag?
You would be surprised how strong ocean fish can be
I think those guys are really intelligent, I'm glad you gave him a good release.
I’ll be in Destin next week hope fishing is on fire!!! Cool vid brother!!!
Love it that looks really good like the mediterranean-style way you fix that
Nice video, you guys are killing it.
🔥🇺🇸Brant, let’s do a collab! Come hog hunt and go offshore with me!🔥
That would be an epic collab
I had never heard of a rabbit fish until yesterday. My wife caught 5 of them off a small jetty at Keaton Beach, FL. Apparently they are a nuisance fish and destroy commercial traps with those teeth. Unfortunately, that's all we caught beside 1 pinfish and 1 remora. Weird day of fishing.
Whoa. Never saw the puffy thing before. Thanks!
That’s where I caught my mako at Mardis gras weekend last year
“We can blame it on the beach bum” 😂
Love Ron!
He's the best!!
Ron makes the channel!
What is your rod/reel combo for the surf (that you caught the rabbit with) and what reel do you have on your Toadfish rod? I'm just getting into surf fishing and IT'S A BLAST!!
For pompano, you're fishing waaaay too far out. Put the sand fleas within 25 feet of shore (in less than 2 feet deep). I've hooked pompanos with their backs out of the water.
Awesome brother! I’ll be there in couple wks! Hope I have better luck. They don’t call him Bum for nothing
Keep grinding brothar 🔥🔥🔥
Really like your catch and cook videos, always learning new way to cook fish. But calling bs on Ron really spending 2k and you being that cool about it lol
Lol of course it was a joke
Once again you are a mile down the beach from me on the jeti. I am so mad I missed you twice in a week!!😭😭😡😡
THE SPANISH ARE COMING, nice vid brant, love your vids
Ha The camera Man Ron Bad Juju. Lol
That was a crazy looking fish.
That Spanish looked very good.
Nice video man
What an awesome catch. I had no idea those rabbit fish got that big.
You shoulda gone to the Navarre pier this weekend. Everyone was catching their limit of big 15+ inch Spanish
$ 2,000. 00 all I saw was a " crab net " ? What was the other $ 1, 990.00 for ? Also this is the first Rabbit / Puffer Fish I've ever seen , wow ! Still a cool catch / cook video . Tom Daytona Beach, FL. 17, March 2021 .
The best channel. Keep on fishin on
Very cool catch, nice video do more / i never so a puffer fish that Big
Fred is becoming a Legend 😂
Great video Brant. Beach Bum taught you well!
I always fish with fish intestines, and it also bites well if you freeze it in salt
Another good one Brant! Keep them coming! 🎉🍕🍺🏖🌴🎉
Fred looked pissed that you didnt catch any fish on that first day!!! LOL
Watching your video here in South Africa love it, you guys call sea bait “ sand flees “ here in SA we call them “Sea lice” very good bait.
Man these videos can’t get any better actually. Smiling the whole time watching it! When beach bum showed up that was awesome! Love the catch fillet and cook videos and especially fishing from the beach.
We used to catch a ton of those puffers in the mangroves down in Naples, none of em were that big but about average.
I never seen one of those "rabbit" fish before! Pretty cool. $2,000 for a net?? Hopefully this was a joke!
Can you do a flounder fishing video? Would be awesome to see a catch and cook!
You mentioned water temp. In your opinion what is the temp range (min to max) that's ideal for beach fishing?
What type of gear are you using, or recommend a good spinning combo that can cast a mile?
Most fish at the surf us usually directly behind the breakers...no need to cast so far just accurate
water, water everywhere, but can't go out to fish. back in lockdown in my part of the sea. guess I am fishing with you today.
Wow! Thought this was a click bait post. That is an odd catch for sure. I'm reading about these, they may be invasive to FL. Nobody can say for sure. Deermeatfordinner guy did a catch and cook with one about that size. Says it is amazing. The meat to come off of it was huge.

I didn't know what a fish fillet was till after I was in my late teens 😂😂😂
Castmasters tear up the spanish. The ones with the white feather do really well. Surprising we caught yellow tail, grouper and spanish and took them in to Schooners in Jupiter for lunch and everybody said the Spanish tasted the best which was really surprising.
You need to try cooking and blue fish on the grill you will be amazed how it changes the taste of that fish
I've watched several of your videos now and I've noticed your retrieval speed is really fast. Much faster than I'd use for any fresh water fish am I correct? Or are you using reels with a slower gear ratio?
You three make a good team glad to see the bum stopped by for a bite to eat.🙏🇺🇸🥊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Cool vid! What a lot of boats! Must not be very many good spots there.
ron: 0_0 2000? thats fine.. HAHAHA
