Not gonna lie the way you netted that fish and kept control of the fight I thought you had someone behind you netting it for you. Good video and nice work!
Great trip. Went out yesterday afternoon with some crabs and caught some tog but didn’t find my first sheep’s head yet but most of my time was around the rocks and got to the bridge close to dark.
@ we caught 14-14.5 pretty steady with one keeper in there. Didn’t have a lot of day light but got to get out when we can. Might resist the urge to go back to the rocks and try the bridge first.
What type of knot do you have tied to your jig. just started fishing with fluro and having a tough time finding the right knot that's easy. Nice Video!!
Man you had a magical day. I'm curious what day this was? I think I abandoned this spot too soon I started hitting structures closer to the inlets and have been hammering larger tog but haven't caught any sheep there . Last time out was this past Tuesday and I caught about 40 fish with a handful being over limit or very close to it.
@@realdealamsteel2047 I would have to look back at the GoPro data for what day this was to be honest with you, it was sometime during mid October. Interesting enough I hit this area three times in a row and had differing results each time. They are a funny fish, the latest I’ve had them in NJ was mid November but depends on water temp
@609Fishing I guess I need to hit those pilings a bit more. I don't like fishing them too much because of every reason you mentioned in the video but maybe that's been a mistake. I've also never went up to a 3/4oz jig there either so that should help with those small profile pilings and ripping currents. I have off a few days at the end of the week. Now I need to decide where I'm going .haha
How do you manage heavy currents in a kayak? Do you just go during slower tides? I've fished this spot from shore before, but I just purchased a sundolphin jon boat and want to try fishing the pilings of this bridge. Problem is the current really rips through here at certain parts of the day (specifically on the end of the incoming). I usually use a saltwater trolling motor to move around the back bays, but I don't think it's going to be enough. And a gas engine will probably spook the fish away.
@@BunkerBlog it just one of those things you get used to unfortunately. I am at the will of the tide most of the time. With two kids, I don’t have nearly the time I used to to get out fishing so I go when I can.
@ the worst conditions honestly are wind driven. Typically with the tide, you could find current breaks sufficient enough to hide behind. It’s the wind that becomes an issue.

@@gladiatorfishing3174 thank you, my netting isn’t always that smooth 😂

@@pirrgang tautog bite has been incredible recently, sheep are going to be more hit or miss as the water temp drops

Uni knot
I’d love to get out there on my kayak. I am 30 mins from that area, but have no idea where ramps are down there.
@@charlieb023 I typically use Google Earth to find areas to launch

@609Fishing You seem to be able to handle it well enough on pedal/paddle power alone. I might be OK with my 55lb motor then.

Looking to order the same jigging world rod for bridge fishing is it the jigging world nexus medium (JW-NEX701S-M) thanks in advance
@@derrickyoumans3095 you won’t regret it, it is my favorite rod for most inshore fishing
