I heard the older and bigger ones are a little more refined and prefer good Baked Clams! LOL I can't disagree with that! Nice catch! One is SO MUCH BETTER than none!

[@Bsprecksfishing]

Amen! Thanks for watching!

[@IslandAnglerRich]

🔥 good stuff

[@Bsprecksfishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@GlenSz]

grinding 👏 nice catch...clams vs bunker chunks in the spring if you're tossing bait?

[@Bsprecksfishing]

Early spring in the ocean surf, clam hands down, the rest of the year, bunker

I’m new when it comes to fishing the open ocean surf. What measures/precautions do you take when you drive onto the beach?

[@Bsprecksfishing]

I didn’t drive on the beach in this video

[@scottschlemmer4787]

I need to learn how to identify ocean spots like troughs better. It all looks the same to me.

[@scottschlemmer4787]

@@BaldyFade Thank you that was to the point.

See rich troxler reading the beach series.

[@Bsprecksfishing]

If you start at low tide you can see all the structure more clearly

[@Bsprecksfishing]

Then fish the cut

[@byRisqyy]

does it matter high tide or low tide when youre fishing for these big fish ? been struggling myself out here on the east end :/ im still new to this only have been porgy fishing and maybe jigging a couple times on boat but i like to be offshore when im alone

[@Bsprecksfishing]

Higher water is better, end of incoming or beginning of outgoing

[@Bsprecksfishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@Reeltime516]

Nice fish. I was out today as well. Caught a skunk, not a keeper so threw him back!

[@Bsprecksfishing]

Nice! It’s only going to get better

[@Bsprecksfishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@nanvolentine9110]

How's the water temperature?

[@Bsprecksfishing]

About 50

[@Bsprecksfishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@byRisqyy]

at this rate idec if the fish is small i just wanna experience this 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

[@Bsprecksfishing]

Haha, I’ve had so little time to fish this spring I feel the same way

[@Bsprecksfishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@Nextlevup]

Sand worms do it for me every spring.

[@Bsprecksfishing]

In the ocean surf?

[@Nextlevup]

@@Bsprecksfishing in the surf, bays. Today first of the season form me under the Verrazano bridge

[@Bsprecksfishing]

@@Nextlevup I do well with worms in the early spring in the Hudson or the northshore.. but never in the ocean surf as they don’t live there

[@Nextlevup]

@@Bsprecksfishing 🤷🏻‍♂️ still catching them.

[@hossprey]

I can attest to bloodworms in the ocean surf, worth every penny
