You are right about not stressing over your first rod, any cheap rod will do for your first few times. I fish at a pier and sometimes the only people catching consistently all day are the little kids with their spiderman fishing set. Anything will work!
I just got back to fishing after 15 long years. This guide refreshed my memory as everything was explained thourougly. Thank you for sharing! Cheers from Japan. 🍻
The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight ruclips.net/user/postUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!
Thank you for this guide from a Tampa girl who wants to learn a new way to take advantage of all the water around us! I don't know anyone who's into fishing so this was an awesome resource!
Thanks so much, taking my first trip to Hilton Head Island to do pier and off shore fishing and this helped me cut down and what I needed to add to my gear. Explanation was some of the best I have seen yet!
Great advice! I've used all those lures and they work. The rod and reel combo was spot on for inshore. If you guys start with a cheap combo and then want to upgrade later, do it, and then that can become your bait catching rod. Great video
Coming down January to March and want to fish. Thanks for the info. Very helpful. My wife wants me to catch supper for us several times a week. LOL Thanks again.
As basic as this video needed to be, starting off with information about proper licensing to start with to me was a great way to start people in the right direction! And basic was not a negative observation, great video
THANK YOU FOR HELP , JUST GETTING STARTED , AND WITH THIS INFORMATION YOU GAVE I'AM READY JUST NEED NEW LINE ON REELS THANKS GORD FROM CALGARY ALBERTA CANADA 🇨🇦 😀
THIS IS AN AWSOME VIDEO,,,IM TRYING TO GET IN TO FISHING WITH MY YOUNG SON BUT HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO BUY TO START WITH...KEEP THEM VIDEOS COMING... THANKS
Freshwater fished DECADES ago. Moved to FL and starting to saltwater fish. Really enjoy your basics and intro video for learning. Lots of talk about knots and line tying. What about swivels? Ease of use was my old thinking. Is that a no-no for saltwater use? Any intro or reintro videos in my case are greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Can you or do you have a pole rigging video? I’ve got all the info. I just have no idea what I’m doing or what I need to rig properly or if I need to cut the line
Just found your channel. Trying to learn how to saltwater fish I've had hardly any luck catching anything worth keeping. New sub hoping to learn it's hard for me to go out to were they really are I'm disabled wheelchair bound so I'm pretty much restricted to piers and icw banks
Where we fish in Brazil, I’ve never seen anyone using a reel. They all just wind the nylon round a piece of card wrapped in selotape. They catch fish to sell. We wrapped ours round a flip-flop. Just had to walk home barefoot.
Nice info, one more lure recommendation from me, metal lures like jig / spoon, so it will be your best 5 lure. Best lure for bluefish, macks, bonito, queenfish other pelagic fish.
The rod and reel is very op. I was using a 1$ full plastic chinese reel and I used it for a year (40-50 trips). You will learn much in a year of just fishing
We in Portugal do need fishing license by law but i never bought one ,what we do is go to some hidden beaches and never had a problem with game wardens sometimes they pass by us in a boat and never had an issue im 23 and have been fishing since i was a little boy Anyways, See Ya Dude!🤘 mate!🤘
Just went fishing in Marco Island in saltwater(my dad’s first time fishing). My father caught a bonnethead shark on his last cast. We brought it in but figured we couldn’t keep it because it was pregnant. But he still got his picture!
Good info, can't believe I never thought of fishing reports. Hear them all the time on the radio for the local lakes. Any tips on getting more time on the water too lol!
fyi.. the link to the circle hooks points to the fluoro leader (the fluoro leader does too, so its right.) great video. amateur here. bought all of the lures here... much appreciated.
@@moorepr09 honestly dude i been here going on two years, im STILL learning and still feel like a newbie! Maybe we can link up and find some spots togther? I use the fishbrain app alot bc i know nothing 😩
Brent - I really really appreciate this. New to Tampa and new to fishing. I was wasting a ton of time online looking for a starter-lists then I found this. If you have a patreon page, lemme know - I'll buy you a beer.
I got lucky with my rod and reel combo. I work in sanitation so I managed to find a 9.5 foot rod that was barely used and got a reel from Dicks on clearance for $25 and a 40 lb braided line also in clearance so total investment was like $35
Thank you for this video I have done a small amount of freshwater fishing(not much, but some) and my family is moving to Florida near Pensacola and I have heard that saltwater fishing is less boring the freshwater fishing(That is a big reason why I almost never went freshwater fishing)
Hey! My husband and I have watched a ton of your videos. Unsure if we’re missing something, but we’ve gone out 4 weekends back to back and only have caught 1 mangrove snapper and 1 spiked burr fish. We’ve tried all the recommended lures and live shrimp. Any additional info on inshore only? Or maybe a video I’m missing. Ideal times, water depth, weights based on depths? We’re in the Clearwater area, tried Courtney Campbell causeway, Sand Key, Skyway pier. We’ve asked a few bait shops and used their recommendations but still seem to struggle. Appreciate all the info!!!
In the UK we only need a rod licence for fresh water fishing ie a coarse and trout and a salmon and and sea trout all sea fishing is mainly done with baits like black lug worm squid and prawns and crabs plus the best time for fishing is in winter if you want cod or Whiting you should watch on RUclips how we fish over here
Thanks for the video bro. I am excited to start fishing. Got my salt and freshwater license today and wanted to know what do I need to start. You basically touched everything. Can you make a video about what is allowed to cath and when? I watched some videos and it seemed like you need to catch the right size, the right fish 🐟 and everything. I don't really know the rules and don't want to get into troubles. Thanks

Just getting into fishing myself moved from Houston to Pensacola about 3 months ago now and I couldn’t thank you anymore brother! God bless
Enjoy
Good stuff. You're right about your starting part: fishing license is the most important.
Just ordered everything in this video, can’t wait for it to come🙏
This is the best advice I have ever heard. Simple and easy to understand. Will be watching the the rest of your other vids.

Thank you for starting list with fishing license! I feel like im doing all the right things but need to find the right spot! thanks for the tips!
Brent, thanks for taking the time to teach. I appreciate your patience and really breaking things down for us beginners. Don't change a thing man!

This is such an underrated channel
I just moved to the Clearwater area. This video would’ve saved me some time but I did put together a very similar list of gear. Good video.
I'm in clearwater to, whats been working for you?
As basic as this video needed to be, starting off with information about proper licensing to start with to me was a great way to start people in the right direction! And basic was not a negative observation, great video
Excellent video and thank you for adding where the items could be purchased in your description.
Thanks man, moved from Alaska to here so this is a whole new fishing style

THIS IS AN AWSOME VIDEO,,,IM TRYING TO GET IN TO FISHING WITH MY YOUNG SON BUT HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO BUY TO START WITH...KEEP THEM VIDEOS COMING...

Even for an experienced angler, there’s nothing wrong with a good budget combo! Great video!

This was really helpful for someone new to saltwater fishing. Thank you very much. I subscribed to your channel based on this video.
Can you or do you have a pole rigging video? I’ve got all the info. I just have no idea what I’m doing or what I need to rig properly or if I need to cut the line
Thanks for this. Just moved to Zephryhills and looking to do some saltwater fishing.
any recommendations for where to shore fish? don't own a boat.
Perfect. Just moved to Land o lakes and no experience with saltwater. Going to start with exactly what said.
Hit it all, succinct. Thank you. Hoping to leave sick California for a better fishing life .
Just found your channel. Trying to learn how to saltwater fish I've had hardly any luck catching anything worth keeping. New sub hoping to learn it's hard for me to go out to were they really are I'm disabled wheelchair bound so I'm pretty much restricted to piers and icw banks
big thanks for this I really got good info I also live in Tampa area and I want to learn how to fish really thank you,,,, you made it easy to follow
Let’s go I’m in broward county got similar set up to begin with
Perfect timing for me to see this video gearing up rite now its been awhile that I've been out thanks for the refresh course
Some good advice. One thing you might add is no matter what the price of your rig is take care of it, salt water isn’t good for any thing.
Where we fish in Brazil, I’ve never seen anyone using a reel. They all just wind the nylon round a piece of card wrapped in selotape. They catch fish to sell. We wrapped ours round a flip-flop. Just had to walk home barefoot.
im wondering what type of fish exist in brazil
@@Colosuss crabs
👀
@@judeperez7897 they must be poweful based off the ppl not wanting to get shipped to iz
I would like to see more of these type videos from you. I'm still new to saltwater fishing and love to refer back to these tutorials you did.
Great info I cant wait to start salt water fishing

Great video. Love the explanation of conservation at the beginning.
Thank you for video. Amazing work!

Nice info, one more lure recommendation from me, metal lures like jig / spoon, so it will be your best 5 lure. Best lure for bluefish, macks, bonito, queenfish other pelagic fish.
I would love to see a video on the different tackle boxes you use.
The rod and reel is very op. I was using a 1$ full plastic chinese reel and I used it for a year (40-50 trips). You will learn much in a year of just fishing
Hey. Thinking about getting back into fishing with my son. This is A great video and I will be using it to guide me.
I cannot believe the first video I click on to learn about this and your local to me 😂😂😂 I live in Lakeland
SaltLife Productions Same here... Largo though 🤣
Largo as well. I figure after living here three years I should probably find some time to fish.
i live in holiday lol crazy how many people so close together watched this
This channel got me into fishing. I’m from the palm harbor area.
i’m from north texas and had no idea before this video how to fish in saltwater
It’s crazy how many people hate on uglysticks. I’ve had a few for years and they’re still in great shape.
I just stated saltwater fishing 2 months ago and followed your guide. Caught some fishes and start getting some experience now. Very helpful.
THE Best beginner video. Thanks
It was great. I'm new to fishing and you were very informative.
We in Portugal do need fishing license by law but i never bought one ,what we do is go to some hidden beaches and never had a problem with game wardens sometimes they pass by us in a boat and never had an issue im 23 and have been fishing since i was a little boy
Anyways, See Ya Dude!🤘 mate!🤘
What a freeloafer
Thank you very much for this video, very informative for a beginner like me.
Just went fishing in Marco Island in saltwater(my dad’s first time fishing). My father caught a bonnethead shark on his last cast. We brought it in but figured we couldn’t keep it because it was pregnant. But he still got his picture!
Good info, can't believe I never thought of fishing reports. Hear them all the time on the radio for the local lakes.
Any tips on getting more time on the water too lol!
Thank you so much for the info! I love saltwater fishing though I can't do it often and this video REALLY helped clarify the basics
absoloutely a great video thank u so much for the info im in Sebastian and I am going to start this weekend, heading to bass pro now.
I'm trying to get back into fishing now that I'm out of school. The first thing I did after graduation was getting my fishing license.
Great video!
fyi.. the link to the circle hooks points to the fluoro leader (the fluoro leader does too, so its right.) great video. amateur here. bought all of the lures here... much appreciated.
Thank you for pointing that out, I just changed it so it should be right now
As soon as I heard Tampa bay…subscribed🔥
Bought everything here! Just moved to Tampa Florida and I’m from Ohio, So I know NOTHING about saltwater. Thanks a lot man!
Lexso I’m moving to Tampa later this month from Texas, have any beach or pier spots you’d recommend?
@@moorepr09 honestly dude i been here going on two years, im STILL learning and still feel like a newbie! Maybe we can link up and find some spots togther? I use the fishbrain app alot bc i know nothing 😩
Lexso I’m definitely down for that, shoot me an email at moorepr09@gmail. I got to Tampa two days ago, still need to buy gear and my license.
moorepr09 sent you an email
I’m going to orange beach next summer and I’m going surfishing i this was helpfull I live in Texas I used to the lake creek and pounds
Bro really enjoyed the video and the content is great. Saved it to remember the lures u mentioned.
thank you so much this helps a lot
Nice review , look to the Berkley Lightning Rod , i will sugest the 6.6 foot 1 piece, medium light , it is around 35 USD
At 40 years old, i thought i knew it all. Well not really but thanks for becoming the teacher. Well done dude! 👊

Recently move to FL. Want to,learn how to fish. This presentation was super helpful. Now where to I start... oh..got the FL Gold Sportsman License.
Great video! Learned alot! I just subscribed and looking forward to seeing more vids. Thanks!
Very good. I wish you covered scaling and gutting.
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
Brent - I really really appreciate this. New to Tampa and new to fishing. I was wasting a ton of time online looking for a starter-lists then I found this. If you have a patreon page, lemme know - I'll buy you a beer.
I don't have a patreon page, but I really appreciate that
Same situation, this was the most helpful thing I've found.
I got lucky with my rod and reel combo. I work in sanitation so I managed to find a 9.5 foot rod that was barely used and got a reel from Dicks on clearance for $25 and a 40 lb braided line also in clearance so total investment was like $35
Power pro is in my opinion my favorite line
Very informative thanks.
Thank you for this video I have done a small amount of freshwater fishing(not much, but some) and my family is moving to Florida near Pensacola and I have heard that saltwater fishing is less boring the freshwater fishing(That is a big reason why I almost never went freshwater fishing)
