In the summer time at the North jetty of Bolivar side pack a ho ho lot of mosquito repellent. Back in the 80s-90s my friends use to do overnight fishing close to the boat cut. It was hell going there and coming back. I don't know if they still have overnight fishing out there but you'll get all types of fish especially if you bring along a chum canister that helps. Only draw backs are the mosquitoes they are notorious bring a raincoat, hoodie, light gloves and anything to protect your face. If you have access to nigh vision goggles or infrared it helps allot back then we didn't have all the fancy equipment we utilize what we had rods, cooler, food, flashlight or kerosene lamp. Good luck out there and stay safe.
oh man, I've made the trip to about halfway to the cut, the fishing is insane, but that trip is super risky. Have you walked the South jetty? That's even riskier. To think i use to make those trips on foot, wow lol. That's for the tips, especially the spray.
I had better knees a long time ago but I've fished in heavy rain and high waves out in the South Jetties, it's extremely scary it's like you're constantly watching where the waves break and how quick you can dodge a wave impact and at the same time fish. There were times in heading back to shore me and my friends had to duck between the rocks for cover when lighting strikes on the jetties. The older fishermen were out there with their 10ft rods Fenwick's, Penn's and Garcia's these men weren't playing around when it came to equipment, I think their bones were made of steel. Every time I've seen a wave crash over them they would disappear for a couple of seconds then appear again from the rocks. I'm 6ft tall and when the first wave washed over me and put into the rocks, I didn't think twice God told me it's time to back in.
Wear Korkers, watch out for waves that can sweep you off and if you fall in on the inlet side and the current is strong don't panic! Wait until the current weakens and then swim out of it to the side. Your videos are great! Keep them coming
Yo man great video! These tips imo apply to jetties every where! Hands down the best tips and tricks for successful fishing are on this channel. Stay safe and tight lines bro.
My biggest catch is 40 and I caught it at midnight on the channel side with cut fresh mullet . Calm water , clear . Hit just before a coke front came in. Loved it
Good tips. I haven't gone fishing in a long time but prefer the jetty over the I.R. lagoon. Much clearer water, more bites, more variety and bigger fish.
I went back two years on the comments and the two things I'd add are: Check the weather and be prepared. The second and most important to me is PREPARE your ATTITUDE. Jetty fishing is one of the more hostile fishing environments you can go into. Ever watch Deadliest Catch? Yeah, THAT! You're gonna break off, you're gonna hang up, you're gonna come home with some bruises or abrasions and If you are short tempered like me, psyche your self up for some tough going. Fuel up, empty out and travel light. And, don't drag along someone you know will hate it. They'll ruin it for everyone.
I love your videos! You remind me of me when I was younger! I fished the surf, piers, and jetties almost all my life until I started fly fishing. I still fish the jetties though, but with a fly! In 2001 I caught 3 ling on the Surfside Jetty in one day. The biggest one was a 70 lber. You may have seen the pic floating around the web as people have told me they have seen it. I caught another mid sized ling a few years later. On the day I caught the 3, I was a little more than half way down. No one at the end turned a click. As I was leaving, these guys walked up from the end and took my spot. I also gave them my left over bait (fresh shad). One of those guys caught one about 50 lbs after I left! I think I happened to be on a bar they were on. The Florida guys told me they will often see them on the bars. I have also caught several kings there as well. Anyway! Keep up the good videos!
Ah, you're Andrew Jones! Yea, you caught a couple that day! I read about it on Texas shark fishing forum. I have been trying to figure that out for a long time. I have looked at sst maps, chlorophyll charts, swells, gulf current, and I still can't figure it out lol! I have been trying to form some sort of set pattern to see when ling come in that close, but since they're super rare, I can't exacrly.figure out the conditions when someone catches one. It is definitely an extremely grey area for land based anglers. One day lol. Apparently the time is now.
I sure don't have it down either but with the ones I caught, I have seen a pattern.. That is you have to be in the right spot. As I said before, someone took my spot as I left on the day of the 3 and they caught a 50 lber. On the day I caught the last one, I saw someone catch one and I took his spot after he left and caught one. That one was closer to the end. Also, Spring time and good water is in the mix as well. Wow! Texas Shark Fishing! I just spoke with BeachBum about a week ago and he lives in Oklahoma. Look me up on Facebook and friend request me!
FIND A LOCAL TO HELP... I'm from West Virginia and fished some jetties around St Augustine FL. This jetty was three miles long I think. The rocks were MASSIVE. Everything was sharp. I went out as far as I could, about a half mile....I WAS ALONE! NO KNOWLEDGE, parked the truck on the beach away from the water as far as I could and gave it hell. Sketchy, but VERY COOL! EXTREME DANGER! I came in when I saw police lights, it was all good.
October packery channel ..... everyone killin it today with the Spanish macs. I was catching surfside almost to the end with 3’-4’ diver 4” with three trebles
It will and I just got another Tip on your channel too. I got my Waders for my birthday and I was stuck on the boots. I will get some Felt boots with an option for spikes. I have prosthetic hips and I depend on traction. You said if it's GREEN don't touch it Period. I THANK YOU FOR THAT. LMAO!!!
Ponce Inlet Jetty all the time here near Daytona. Don't forget that most species go straight into the rocks when they hit. I find using 50lb braid with a long 40lb mono leader best. You have to keep them out of the rocks very fast.
I stumbled on your site a few days ago and have watched all you videos, I could find. I have had a boat all my life but, sold my boat. Have been having a sinking spell. Approaching 70 so have now decided to pick up surf fishing. Love the video w the crabs from Fiesta. Simple, what size circle hook & brand for those BAD BOYS? Also see you like the spider weight over the pyramid? Why? Please advise leader weight & length? Picked all you top 5 BAITS yesterday, most of which I already have. Got a friend in Costa Rica on the beach so going there in a few weeks to fish the surf. Taking Shimano TIRALEJO 9'6" Surf rod w Shimano High Speed 5500 ULTEGRA CI4+ reel setup. Looking to catch rooster & snook plus cubera snapper. Have been BINGING on your UTUBE & refreshing all my gear getting setup. Need a crash course on surf fishing! Excited w your passion for surf fishing & bringing your followers up to speed to fish on a HIGH LEVEL! Thanks
You should show how to actually fish the jetty and techniques for rigs and retrieval methods that's the most important part IMO. Especially how to retrieve lures
I was fishing the Jetties in Little River NC (by boat) for first time this past week. I swear I had 5 large fish break my knots right at my hook. I was using 20 lb fluorocarbon. Could have been blue fish but it was very frustrating. Good tips man. I gotta rethink my entire approach. This video helps
@@BeachBomberFishing good stuff man. Ty for sharing. I am still learning for sure. Gonna gear back up and go back down in August. Do you ever use metal leaders or titanium?
What is your technique for putting big fish back into the water at the jetty? I have been wondering this because it looks really difficult and dangerous to properly release a big fish. I would assume a person would have to get close to the water, thus on the slippery rocks, to get a big fish back in the water. Let me know.
I live near Galveston bro, I have to try the jetties sometime! The weather has been pretty crappy here lately though, unfortunately. Glad I found this channel! Subscribed!
alligator308 lmao, I fished the SPI jetty one day and the weight caught up with me. I had to walk the jetty back in almost pitch darkness. It was terrible Good tip!
It will I think I may need a better reel though. I've catch some eating size Reds and Speaks but nothing trophy size yet. Thanks for the reply Bro. Tight lines👍👊🤛🤜
Beach Bomber Fishing been good i was off 5 days last week's but wind was to high to do anything boat is ready to go i have 5 days off next week only work wed n thurs or next week will be cool to set something up.
That wind been brutal man. We see need to fish soon man. Gonna have to do It soon cus we gonna be moving into a house next month. I need the space, baby boy needs more room.
By far, absolutely, bar non the best and safest footwear on wet rock is felt bottom wader shoes. This of course does not mean wear waders out there. But the felt bottom shoes will give your feet grip on rock unlike anything else.
Full waders are a terrible idea though. You slip into the water and the waders get water in them, you are going to the bottom. You cannot escape them in time. Just wear the shoes and some wader socks under them
Green rocks are very dangerous: I was fishing in the Spi jetty and I was using a 2500 size reel with 10lb braid on it and my reel was screaming and my brother wanted to help land the fish I was hooked on a sheepshead and my brother went close to the green rocks to grab the line and pull he fish in but he slipped and he fell a bit but people helped my brother to get up while I was bringing him up I landed that fish and it measured 17 1/2 inches and i don’t know how much it weighted but my scale isn’t accurate but it was 6lb it is my biggest sheepshead ever caught but it almost got my brother Injured
Thanks for the tips. Im actually headed out to the jetties at Surf Side early Saturday morning and its funny you mentioned wearing golf shoes on the rocks for better footing. I was thinking just today about wearing an older pair of golf shoes because i know how slippery the rocks get. but i thought that people would look at me and say "look at this goober with the golf shoes" lol. But hey if it works right. I do have a question, I've been fishing for years and love it but im the first to admit that i am not good at it. Now i just purchased a inexpensive spinning reel an Abu Garcia Silver max SP40 and loaded it with only 10lb mono, should i use stronger line? What line weight do you recommend? should i go with braided? and should i always go with the reel manufactures line recommendations? Sorry thats more than one question lol. Thanks alot.
Dude thanks for the video. I'm heading down in September for my first jetty fishing experience (off the actual jetty) and I'm so excited to fish it. I'm going to get a couple of those spoons in the video for my heavy action 7.5 uglystik bass rod to throw and probably use my two cheap surf rods with double leaders and shrimp or something. Any recommendations on cheap tackle that just works? I see people using gulp but I have no idea. Any help greatly appreciated from uploader or commenters. 🎣🎣🐟🐟
Could you do a video on all your terminal tackle rigging. Complete finished setups. Applications using artificials, live bait. Including, hooks weights, beads & leaders. Thanks
Down in the Florida Keys they piers that are jetty’s. Am I to treat it like it’s a pier ? This may be a stupid question but I’ve fished private piers before but we’re staying at a different place since hurricane Irma destroyed my timeshare in islamorada. My initial idea was that there may be grouper living under jetty. Any thoughts? Thanks 🎣
Damn the ones yall fish off look all nice and flat...ones near me are just huge piles of uneven rocks with gaps you could just fall through if you miss your hop and there tall to so you gotta climb down a bit to get a nice spot to fish from when the tides lower but also means a nasty fall if ya mistep...ive got a pretty good head scar from falling as a kid at one
Witch jetty would your recommend that's near galveston? I was thinking about hitting up the Freeport jetties. The jetties at Galveston seem sketchy lol
Would 30lb braid work for bait soaking rods? I saw you mention 50lb with atleast 300yd capacity. Edit: Would a surf rod work on the jetties? Like a 12ft? It should I keep the 12ft for the surf and a 9-10ft for the jetties?
Wearing a pair of socks over your shoes can provide some traction on the wet rocks. It's similar to using a rag to open a jar with a stuck lid or wearing felt bottom wading shoes. Just remember if you try it to put socks OVER your shoes!!! DON"T go out on the jetties to fish with just a pair of socks on!!!
Do you need a different rod for lures and bait? Like if I get a Daiwa Coastal SP Surf rod is there any disadvantages to using it for bait as well as lures?
You think a penn pursuit 4000 the 2 and a okuma longitude 9 foot would a elite combo for the jetty for a beginner you think that can handle kings and reds?
thanks for the response, I got a question about transporting your 11' and 12' rods to the beach in a car, I see you're in a car sometimes, do you just carefully break it apart with line through the eye holes and your set up already done? or do you have to restring and tie everyhing once you get there... Im kinda new to fishing
Awesome video, Beach. I took some notes, I really want to do more jetty fishing this year. Do you think the Daiwa BG 4000 will be a good sized reel for throwing lures at the jetties?
Beach Bomber Fishing Those are some beautiful places to fish. Pensacola area is about as blue water as it gets. 👍🏼 Love these videos man. They have kept me sane in this winter time.
What are your tips? Please, comment below to share with fellow anglers!

Beach Bomber Fishing only 5k subs fuck bro!
Remember me when you blow up!
Beach Bomber Fishing I use a 8 ft gaff, it comes in handy a ton
Number one Hack, bring extra tackle, you WILL lose some!
yea, learned that one the hard way a long time ago lol
Not some ALOT
A+++ video on jetty fishing and thanks for making safety a priority in the video.
Safety on the jetties is a must! those Xtratuff's are work amazing on wet rocks and on boats!
Bro, you should come on of these days.
When you goin again?
Wear Korkers, watch out for waves that can sweep you off and if you fall in on the inlet side and the current is strong don't panic! Wait until the current weakens and then swim out of it to the side. Your videos are great! Keep them coming
One of the best tips is do not bring anything valuable to the jetties , especially your moms air pods , you’ll loose anything in a split second 😴
Xtreme Fishing great tip. I bet she was pisssssseed. I almost lost my phone awhile back.
lost my costa sunglasses today
Yo man great video! These tips imo apply to jetties every where! Hands down the best tips and tricks for successful fishing are on this channel. Stay safe and tight lines bro.
Obi1shinobi That means a lot! I try to compile the best tips!
the biggest fish i have caught at the jetty is nothing
Biggest I caught is a stingray that got away from me
I can't believe you only have 6k subs man, by far best fishing TH-camr
it's cus my videos are trash. Thanks man! I appreciate the words bro!
My biggest catch is 40 and I caught it at midnight on the channel side with cut fresh mullet . Calm water , clear . Hit just before a coke front came in. Loved it
You should've mentioned something about getting caught up on the damn rocks lol
I’ll be trying these tips in Cartagena, Colombia👍🏽👍🏽
Any luck? What species of fish do you catch down there?
Good tips. I haven't gone fishing in a long time but prefer the jetty over the I.R. lagoon. Much clearer water, more bites, more variety and bigger fish.
Finally something to help me on surf side jetty
this week looking really good out there man
OG -Jeff was just there for my first time fishing with my own rod and I got skunked 😞
I love my ballistic 3000. Actually my favorite reel I have spooled with J Braid on a custom rod that baby is smooth as butter
ballistic is a hell of a reel, it handles big fish, and smooth like you said.

Amazing video bro . I’m a fisherman and never been on a jetty . I’m going to Newport’s jetty this weekend and you helped me tons ✊🏻🌅
Thanks alot I think I am ready. We have a few Jetties in the Chesapeake Bay so I will hit them this season. Great video again.
Thanks! Hope this video helps you land a big one!
It will and I just got another Tip on your channel too. I got my Waders for my birthday and I was stuck on the boots. I will get some Felt boots with an option for spikes. I have prosthetic hips and I depend on traction. You said if it's GREEN don't touch it Period. I THANK YOU FOR THAT. LMAO!!!
Hey bro Thanks For All You're Tips, You are really helping me to be a better fisherman. "Keep Up The Good Work"

Been waiting since 8am yesterday bro 😂😂 , worth the wait tho

I love the intro
Thank you!
Love your channel! The guys and I are heading to Port A this weekend for weekend fishing trip. Using some of your ideas
nice man, let me know what you catch.
First time going out fishing, hope I catch something or anything!
You should, that place holds a ton of fish.
You should show how to actually fish the jetty and techniques for rigs and retrieval methods that's the most important part IMO. Especially how to retrieve lures
@@Kettakelly hmmmm, that's a great suggestion.
Great video 👍one thing don’t forget to take a couple SS steel leaders for Spanish and kings unless you want to loose a lot of spoons 🎣Fish On🐟
Agreed, Thanks for the tip man!
And one more thing don’t use silver swivels SM’s love them and you will loose all of your sh-t!
Will fluorocarbon leader work? Got 40lb and 80lb
I was fishing the Jetties in Little River NC (by boat) for first time this past week. I swear I had 5 large fish break my knots right at my hook. I was using 20 lb fluorocarbon. Could have been blue fish but it was very frustrating. Good tips man. I gotta rethink my entire approach. This video helps
Bluefish and Spanish mackerel will easily bust 20lb fluoro. I typically use 50lb when I know there will be toothy fish.
@@BeachBomberFishing good stuff man. Ty for sharing. I am still learning for sure. Gonna gear back up and go back down in August. Do you ever use metal leaders or titanium?

Was there yesterday at 6am. Fish weren't hungry. Definitely going back soon.
Awesome stuff, thanks for the tips!
My pb was a 40.5” bullred in the Port A jetty during the run.
nice man!! Congrats on the pb!
I'm heading out tomorrow man. Thanks for the tip. I'm running with 15 to 20 pound test line I hope I can hang with the big dogs.
Bring head lamp for night jettty fishing at night and bring back pack w water ,dont get dehydrated
alligator308 lmao, I fished the SPI jetty one day and the weight caught up with me. I had to walk the jetty back in almost pitch darkness. It was terrible
Good tip!
It will I think I may need a better reel though. I've catch some eating size Reds and Speaks but nothing trophy size yet. Thanks for the reply Bro. Tight lines👍👊🤛🤜
no prob man. Let me know if you need help choosing a new reel.
Just went out there yesterday! Caught a shark on a croaker i caught and a biggg flounder an mangrove snapper the rest were croaker and small trout
Another good video man!!!
Thanks man!!
Number 6 clean your equipment afterwards. Lol
Orlando Villarreal brooo, where you been lol? That's a good one, dang I should've put that in.
Beach Bomber Fishing been good i was off 5 days last week's but wind was to high to do anything boat is ready to go i have 5 days off next week only work wed n thurs or next week will be cool to set something up.
That wind been brutal man. We see need to fish soon man. Gonna have to do It soon cus we gonna be moving into a house next month. I need the space, baby boy needs more room.
#7 don't let any philipinos see you catch a fish. They will swarm on your spot.
By far, absolutely, bar non the best and safest footwear on wet rock is felt bottom wader shoes. This of course does not mean wear waders out there. But the felt bottom shoes will give your feet grip on rock unlike anything else.
Yes, felt is amazing out there! That's probably why I've seen people with waders out there lol. Great tip!
Full waders are a terrible idea though. You slip into the water and the waders get water in them, you are going to the bottom. You cannot escape them in time. Just wear the shoes and some wader socks under them
Hello Justin,
Any recommendations on wader boots? Thanks for the tip for sure.
IIRC mine came from Cabala's but any will do. Just make sure to wash them out with freshwater when you get home.
I have no idea why people wear them out there.
Awesome video !
Thanks man!
That's just the what i needed
I need to find some jetty's that wide. Great video though, thanks for the tips.
These jetties are one of the 'safer' jetties, packery jetties being the safest ones.
Love the intro earned a sub
Thanks!! Glad you like it
Thanks for the tips! These are great tips. No wonder you got my sub!!! ;)
I love your vids
thanks!!
Thanks for the info bro 👍🏻👍🏻
Green rocks are very dangerous: I was fishing in the Spi jetty and I was using a 2500 size reel with 10lb braid on it and my reel was screaming and my brother wanted to help land the fish I was hooked on a sheepshead and my brother went close to the green rocks to grab the line and pull he fish in but he slipped and he fell a bit but people helped my brother to get up while I was bringing him up I landed that fish and it measured 17 1/2 inches and i don’t know how much it weighted but my scale isn’t accurate but it was 6lb it is my biggest sheepshead ever caught but it almost got my brother Injured
Good stuff dude!
Thanks man!!
Outstanding video. By the way where is the entrance to the jetties?
Thanks for the awesome videos hope to see you soon at GFP
one of these days man
Great great vid
I done busted my ass like three times Freeport and Galveston I rather fish a pier a lot safer
cut bait jetties are punishing man, glad you didn't have a major accident at the jetties.
Awesome video! 3:54 what weight of the spoon and model is that?
U see how the fish closed its lip on the lure when you put your rod down for that ending it was like acting the scene out w you lol
Great video man. I love jetty fishing. You never know what you’ll get out there.
Exactly man
Dope video/editing brother

This may be a stupid question but I’ve fished private piers before but we’re staying at a different place since hurricane Irma destroyed my timeshare in islamorada. My initial idea was that there may be grouper living under jetty. Any thoughts? Thanks 🎣
Excelente video .
I'm going jetty fishing for the first time in south padre island any tips for bait or lures?
Beautiful SPI😍
Great pics
fav place to fish
Crispy AF don’t piss off the jetty’s 😂😂
😂😂😂 I should've stated not to take a shit off the jetties.
I've been trying to get into jetty fishing, I put my BG 4000 on a Penn Prevail 9foot rod, you think that'll hold up?
I think that's perfect! I land bull reds on a 7ft surf rod and a daiwa ballistic 4k reel. You good man
Damn the ones yall fish off look all nice and flat...ones near me are just huge piles of uneven rocks with gaps you could just fall through if you miss your hop and there tall to so you gotta climb down a bit to get a nice spot to fish from when the tides lower but also means a nasty fall if ya mistep...ive got a pretty good head scar from falling as a kid at one
Do you ever attach FishBites to your spoons for smell?
TexanDog I do not, I think it would mess up the action.
Do you think the fish will see a wire leader. I wanted to use that to rig up my 3oz spoons
eh, maybe, probably in clear water. I still use fluoro tho.
Needed this one
hope it helps bro
Witch jetty would your recommend that's near galveston? I was thinking about hitting up the Freeport jetties. The jetties at Galveston seem sketchy lol
lol Galveston jetties are sketchy af. Don't do it lol. The freeport jetties are pretty good.
Would 30lb braid work for bait soaking rods? I saw you mention 50lb with atleast 300yd capacity.
Edit:
Would a surf rod work on the jetties? Like a 12ft? It should I keep the 12ft for the surf and a 9-10ft for the jetties?
you can, but it is much more prone to line damage from the sand.
Beach Bomber Fishing gotcha! What about rod length?
I would set use up to 9ft for the jetties, but if you are chunking big heavy baits, you would have to go with something up to 12 ft.
Beach Bomber Fishing why do you want something longer for heavier baits? Just curious
get more distance, and because most heavy bait surf rods are 10ft or longer, unless you get a custom built rod.
What weight spoon are you using? Thanks in advance.
Weight ranges from 1oz to 3oz. I use 1oz from the surf, 2 and 3 oz at the jetties when the wind is heavy, or when i need to fish gje very bottom.
@@BeachBomberFishing Thank you so very much. Your videos are very helpful. Peace.
Wearing a pair of socks over your shoes can provide some traction on the wet rocks. It's similar to using a rag to open a jar with a stuck lid or wearing felt bottom wading shoes. Just remember if you try it to put socks OVER your shoes!!! DON"T go out on the jetties to fish with just a pair of socks on!!!
omfg dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
go to the jetties with only socks
lol I've actually seen it done on trout streams!!!
😂 I bet those guys have some mean toenail fungus 😂

thanks!!
Beside lures, what type of bait do you recommend when jetty fishing, thanks for the video!
live mullet, sand trout, or crabs.
What if u live in brownsville and u have 2 beach sides 1 is south padre island and the other boca chica beach
Subbed
thanks!!
Do you need a different rod for lures and bait? Like if I get a Daiwa Coastal SP Surf rod is there any disadvantages to using it for bait as well as lures?
Yes there are differences, the weight the rod can handle. Bait rods are much more stronger than lure rods.
You think a penn pursuit 4000 the 2 and a okuma longitude 9 foot would a elite combo for the jetty for a beginner you think that can handle kings and reds?
it should handle for sure. The pursuits tend to break down after a year of hard use.
Where did you get that kastmaster spoon with the tail? And what was the weight of that spoon?
3oz bucktail from field and stream. Tackle direct and bass pro have them in stock as well
thanks for the response, I got a question about transporting your 11' and 12' rods to the beach in a car, I see you're in a car sometimes, do you just carefully break it apart with line through the eye holes and your set up already done? or do you have to restring and tie everyhing once you get there... Im kinda new to fishing
I completely break them down and retie every trip.
Don't wear cowboy boots at the jetties, a lesson learned the hard way.
Lmao what happened?
Awesome video, Beach. I took some notes, I really want to do more jetty fishing this year. Do you think the Daiwa BG 4000 will be a good sized reel for throwing lures at the jetties?
Should be good, if you want more capacity, spool it with power pro maxcuattro
Thanks for the pro tip, I appreciate it.
i’m fishing the port aransas jetty tomorrow, ever caught anything there? if so, any tips?
I've caught bull reds, jacks, kings, Spanish, ect there. They love rappala xraps and mirrolures.
Ever fish with ThreserFishing ? You guys would kill it together. He’s in Corpus Christi.
Never have, but I will make some vids in corpus later on this year. I'm def going to pensacola as well.
Beach Bomber Fishing Those are some beautiful places to fish. Pensacola area is about as blue water as it gets. 👍🏼 Love these videos man. They have kept me sane in this winter time.
No doubt about it. Jetty fishing can be extremely dangerous.
I've almost slipped off the jetty multiple times lol.
Have you ever worn cowboy boot to fish the jetties
What do you mean by the beach side of the jetty?
What type lbs line do you use on your baitcaster
Head Shot on my bigger baitcaster I use 20lbs, on my smaller ones I use 10lbs.
