I wish I knew how long you guys are going to be there. As a boy I used to go to the railroad bridge just up the river from the jetty and spend my mornings gathering fiddler crabs to fish for huge sheepshead and black drum. Some of the most wonderful days of my young life. ( somewhere around 1972). Enjoy your time there together!
Hey Brad, "Clearwater Will" here! Now you're fishing my language! This time a year Snook are stacked up by the thousands on every jetty on the southern half of Florida on both coasts for the spawn! And they are mostly big females!Which is why the season is closed during the summer! We rarely keep any anyway, but catch and release is a blast! I've fished for jetty Snook in the Summer every year since I was about 10 (1974) and I'm always happy to share some things it took years to perfect, but some things just have to be learned the hard way. I know I did! *Sure, you can use lighter tackle and catch Snook and Tarpon, BUT when the bite REALLY turns on, you will have much less stress and catch a lot more fish with 20lb test & 40lb floro! *When a Snook picks up your bait, many times you won't feel anything, but you'll suddenly notice your slack is ripping to the left or right! Try to let him pull out the slack, instead of reeling it out. The reason is if you reel, many times the first thing you'll feel is a rock, whereas the Snook will swim your slack over that rock! * Jetty fishing is much harder from the jetty than from a boat, because they will pick up your bait and run right at you! Good luck getting hook in him when that happens! * Lastly, the absolute BEST way to Snook fish a jetty is with a boat, double anchored so one side is about 60' from the dry rocks. Fish an hour before, to an hour after the first tide change after midnight! Bring A LOT of large Pilchards or Grunts/Pigfish. My favorite tide change is, in to out. But it really doesn't matter. When the tide goes dead, so does the bite, but it usually picks back up with the tide. This time of year, Snook love to feed late at night! Sorry for the long post, but If I helped one person land their first Snook, it was worth it!!!
20lb Power Pro, 20lb flouro leader... minimum for Snook, or Tarpon off the Jetties, in my experience. Don't care if the 8" Snapper shy away. I'll downsize for Snapper, but rather just let the Grandkids catch them... I want bigguns! Great video Brother!
GO VOLS! Sorry about the lack of a snook or tarpon. My second ever cast at Sebastian Inlet (jetty pier), I hooked a giant snook, got him up to the jetty, broke off, everyone on the pier saw it and went OH! I think I was only using like 14lb mono leader, I was still learning what leader/main line/rod/reel combo is best, valuable lesson. I have been back there several times since, and no snook. Wasn't meant to be. Folks up here in BOC who used to live down there near Jupiter tell me that is a crazy productive inlet.
the lowest i use inshore for snook is 30lb. Even the small ones will fray through it sometimes. Matters where yah hook them. In the spillways in florida i use 50lb because of the rocky bottom in some of them and debris from people
Brandt, they make 6 ft ultralight rods. You don't need to fish with an ice fishing rod. Lol. The 6 ft ultra lights are sweet especially if you hook into a 20+ incher.
@@mrcbreakable3092 I've landed some on 30#, too, but I won't lose another one. Unless I'm wading and around juveniles, I like to use #40. That's a slooooow reel when you lose a snook to a frayed leader.
Why didn't you clowns Book a Charter with , Movin Weight Fishing ? ... Adam would have given you a Commercial Fishing Experience , catching Giants All day long ! ... He is right in Jupiter !
@@bjeweled21 Great we have the laws we have now tho. FWC wants the next world record snook caught in Florida water and their doing exactly what needs done to make it happen

Great video brother, looked like a lot of fun for sure!!
Solid Fishin’ hole!
wow very nice video💓💓💖💖💖💕💕💕
Awesome vid looks like a lot of fun see you at the sale
Bow to the king . I was taught when a tarpon jumps point your rod down to the water.
The weird little fish Brad caught is a hairy blenny. But ppl in fl also call them oyster cracker
That is exactly what it is. I caught one at Lillian boat ramp last week.

5:03 looks like black sea bass possably a hybrid with some other species
Love the content man... 💪💪💪
What kind of Rod & Reel were you using. Thanks, keep up the great job.
Ninja tackle dagger rod
Thanks

Welcome to my neck of the woods. Jupiter and Palm Beach County are beautiful. Did you check out near the end of the jetty?

The fish you caught was a hairy blenny.
Still have to bow to the king when they jump even if it’s just a 40 inch Tarpon
Another great video.
Thank you!
Come to okeechobee during the winter for speck aka crappie , little change of scenery
GO CRAZY MAN
I feel your pain brother
Hope to be able to fish with y'all one day. One subscriber at a time! Love the content!
Where are the GIANTS you spoke of??? LOL!
They come out at night ,)
Brandt, they make 6 ft ultralight rods. You don't need to fish with an ice fishing rod. Lol. The 6 ft ultra lights are sweet especially if you hook into a 20+ incher.
Just joking btw.
He!s got a Dock Demon. They are really fun to play with.
Definitely need to bump up 30 pound line
That little fish is a skipper.
What's your rod and reel setup?
That little grouper looking fish is a blennie
It's not a grouper; it's some sort of goby based on the shape of his mouth.
Where is that place located?
Looked like a young triple tail.
Jupiter Island is the richest zip code in the United States.
Change that line!
17# aint enough. I only go 40# at the jetties and beaches after breaking off 10+ snook over the years
I have been using 25lb flouro and 30lb mono for targeting snook with success.

Would you and or Brant be interested in joining me for 1.or.two.dayz of charter fishing in Mertyl Beach SC in the first week.of.may 24?
The little fish is a blenny.

What is it? Bait for snook. I can't believe you guys target snook without ice.
Cant keep them till September 1
