Small bait catches BIG FISH! Best bait for Beach fishing!

  • I am using free scavenged bait to catch some big fish while beach fishing in North Carolina. I used a special cast netting technique to catch some finger mullet. I’m hoping to target a big red drum (as I still haven’t caught the big one I’m looking for yet). Lot’s of fish bite like to snack on the finger mullet though, so let’s see what I get! What’s your favorite scavenged bait to use?
    This week, we are camping on the beach in North Carolina in the Outer Banks. This morning, the bait shop was all out of bait, so I had to get creative and catch my own (but sometimes this turns out to be the best thing to do as these are the kinds of fish the larger fish are snacking on). I’m hoping to finally catch that big bull red I’ve been trying to target. Let’s see what I can catch with this free bait!

    Wow just seeing this out of the box ruclips.net/user/postUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

I have caught yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi and wahoo when I lived in the Virgin Islands. Have you thought of going to St. Thomas USVI and take a boat out? There is a dolphin derby every year and a lot of mahi-mahi get caught. There’s also a marlin tournament. And a king fish tournament on Bastille day.

      Some time people are new to pier fishing too , so it would help if you see someone catching big fish , help them learn by teaching them .
      I fish freshwater , went to my first pier , caught a big lady fish, was going to use it for bait , had it in my wire basket and drop the line at 10 feet and it kill the fish on impact , but I learn NOT to do that next time

      @johnc6228 3 года назад +5

      @@reelfishing002 You are so right about teaching people how to do it right. Since I was really young my father and I would help net fish, offer bait that is working, recommend hook size etc.,where to go etc. Now I have so many poles, lures and terminal tackle I just plan on giving away stuff to that person who needs it. I also carry two piece rod upper halves if someone breaks a rod or I just give them a whole setup. You just drove all the way here and now you're going home? Here's a rod, buddy, you're staying. Bait shop closed or sold out or too far a drive? Take mine, I'll try some lures so I know better which lure to recommend. Last time I went pier fishing with a coworker and his family. He spent the whole time netting fish for people because I made a 25' handled net. He had a great time doing it. I hit on the right setup catching more fish than most so I was giving away similar tackle. I also make laminated fish ID and regulation printouts to give away and post for all to look at but of course everyone can check their phones. Fishing is a social bonding experience.
