Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your page over the last two years! Between my health issues and the pandemic I’ve not been able to get on the beach much but seeing you and your family fishing has been extremely entertaining. Keep it up! I look forward to your new posts every week. THANKS!
I’ve surf fished NC beaches my entire life. This is an ingenious rig. I’d use fluorocarbon for the snell leader. I’ve salted my shrimp for 55 years. I got my first Sputnik’s at Hatteras many years ago. They often come in handy in rough NC surf. Great video. I always enjoy your common sense approach to fishing as well as your sense of humor!
I’ve been making my own leader rigs for a long time now. I like this design as you can space your hook links further apart. Even make multiple hook links. I also sometimes use a swivel on the hook to leader connection and don’t see any extra tangling. Great video !
Man thank you so much. I have learn so much from your videos. Your a special person. To share you experience and knowledge. Give a man a fish he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he can eat for life.
Two hook flapper connected to a break-out grip lead. It's been the standard here in the UK for beach & pier fishing for 50yrs. You had a terrific session. Nice one Skipper. 😀👍🍀🐟
13:15 probably the most important element is location...beach structure structure structure. Just left south of Hatteras, OINC. Week one lotta puppy d. Next week mostly flounder which u can’t keep, a few drum or two on cpl days day, pampano whiting. , Love your videos, and your tutorials are my fix as I’m back to the Midwest. Thanks.
I see you've added the pendulum swing of the weight as you cast! Fantastic! That is vital to getting the longest cast, while incorporating the left handed "pull/snap"! If your going to continue fishing here,, remember the weakfish that you caught, is the grey trout. The speckled sea trout, is also a weakfish, and both are in the drum family!
great video. i think the most appreciated thing you said for me was that we didn’t catch anything for 2 days and sometimes the fish just want other bait on a given day. makes a lot of sense with my recent trip to OBX and local fishing trips in MD! going fishing tomorrow AM near the mouth of the Patapsco 🤞🏽
Very cool, thanks for the video. It's not a "new rig" though. It's essentially a hi lo rig, but instead of using dropper loops, you are attaching a separate line with a hook. Anytime I go out on a party boat from Brooklyn, they always tie the rig this way (they do it very fast though, so I never learned it). This is the standard setup for porgies, blues, and anything else that's swimming around the party boat. As for the sputnik sinker, I will definitely have to get some for this coming season. We fish some rocky bottoms sometimes and I hate losing sinkers (both because of the environmental aspect and the fact that I run out).
Ur vlogs are very magic touching ...i just watched one video ...then i addicted to watch all other videos ...really nice vlogs brother....best wishes ....
I still have a picture of a pompano I caught in Destin Fl of a bite in its side. Being somewhat new to fishing, I had to look up what bit it... pretty cool.
Ive been using this rig for river fishing since i was 7, and every time we go fishing we catch either walleye or goldeye or sucker fish or mooneye. Because the first hook sits near the bottom, the second sits near the middle so any suckers and any walleye or something else will bite. Greeting from calgary
Look into using crimps, beads, and swivels to tie that rig. It's built bottom lead clip, crimp, bead, swivel, bead, crimp. then repeat the crimp, bead, swivel, bead, crimp as many times as you want on the main rig body. This allows the hook length to move 360° around the rig body with no tangles and gives you the quick change on hooks.
This is just my opinion ; there is not a good or bad bait,it all depends on where you are ? and what kind of fish that are you trying to catch? Also the climate has a huge factor too. I love fishing I hope you all the best .
Nice that's where I live, makes it so easy, I have a locked lid on my truck, so always packed and ready to go, just change out ice and drinks. For longer casts give the BC1 breakaway cannon a whirl, great when throwing heavy weight and braided line.
Glad to purchase your product and support the local American. Keep doin what ya doin!! Maybe I'll run into ya on the coast for the blue & drum run! Following the reports, people are starting to hook into some big Citation drum!!
My hubby and i both follow ur channel. We r new subscribers prob since this early october and ur tips have been very helpful to us new beginners. God bless u both and more power to ur channel and website.
I learned this as the Morticians Rig.. from the Fishin Mortician. The way I learned was knots should be figure 8, since overhand knots tend to cut in on themselves. I attach the circle hooks with a rapala loop knot, it tends to let the circle hook rotate faster versus direct tying or snelling for me. Thanks for these videos from a fellow Marylander and Cal Poly grad!
What pound 💪 line have you got spooled up on the rod? Also, is it Mono? Braided? I love the rig setup, simple enough everyone can reach for its potential.
I aways like to try different rigs when I go fishing weather if it's lake fishing or sea fishing thanks for sharing your video's I'm sure to be trying that rig this weekend, and nice fishes
I've been really just enjoying using fishbites when surf fishing, its super durable and catches fish. I just come with every flavor and try them all out.
Hey Skipper, my name is Kim. I live in NYC. I just started pier fishing for blackfish. I liked it so much that I want to buy a fishing rod and reel set up of my own. So I hear many talk about the ugly stick's strength and durability. I need a rod that's lightweight, so it's not so heavy when I'm casting but strong so it can hold some strong braided line 40 pounds or better because blackfish are pretty strong and they like cutting you off by running you into structure. In addition, I would like the rod to have a sensitive tip so I can feel the bites. What do you recommend?
I was in NC last week and fished for a full week after whiting. It was rough and slow. Sand fleas were everywhere but i think it was to warm. Good luck!
Yeah man awesome catches my man! I like that rig, i just made one and it's real quick and easy to do, but I'm not going with the snap swivel for the weight...I prefer a loop knot for better presentation. I'm going to give it a shot next time I go. Those pompanos are very finicky as far as line thickness especially in clear water. Great way to swap out sizes than the T knot method!
The hi-lo rig is a definite go to. But you are right the new method of tying along with the other variables (leader size, ease of corrections, etc) is a gamechanger. Personally I am not convinced that flouro/line diameter etc matters as much at OBX in the fall due to surf condition and color. But it cant hurt. As my grandpa used to say.... it only matters when it matters. Going to Buxton area in 11 days. But who is counting. This is def being given a try.
So it’s like a improved hi low rig. Very awesome!! Will definitely do this. Also I’m trying my own salted bait. Do I keep the bait in the salt the whole time when not in use?
The surf is mild where you fish. Here in NJ, the surf is pretty tough and many fishermen wear Wadders to get closer. When I wear wadders. If you are ever in NJ look me up we can throw some line.
I was watching this and I saw him tie the two simple knots and I thought to my self "Is he tying a helicopter rig". Sure enough he did, a simpler version mind you. But I have been using this rig for carp fishing in weedy areas for a few years. Nice to see a re-imagining of it to use in saltwater.
I’m at North Carolina right now we leave in 2 days but we can’t go fishing anymore cause of the storm but over the week I caught 3 red drum 22-29 inches!
Dang I just missed the storm! I’ve fished the rain but sometimes the wind is toooo much 😵 congrats on your drum 👍🏼 sounds like you’ve already had a great trip
I sent 2 people new to fishing this past week to your videos and website. I said it is the best place to learn to tie knots and rigs. And told them by cheap line to learn with (not using fluorocarbon leader line he had in his hand)
13:51 you havent caught fish in 2 days?! Thank goodness, I thought you catch something every time you are out...I thought I've been doing something wrong with my rigs, bait etc...at least I know even the best can go without fish on an outing..

One of the biggest reason I watch you besides the information, is you’re not a jerk or a know it all. You’re doing a good job keep it up!

Headed 4 BIP middle of March ! It's the place 2B 4 fun & Fishing ! Glad U found NC !
Great video and thanks for the new rig knowledge! Chip @the sinker guy is awesome. Best Sputnik’s I own. Y’all are a great team and a blast to watch
Two hook flapper connected to a break-out grip lead. It's been the standard here in the UK for beach & pier fishing for 50yrs. You had a terrific session. Nice one Skipper. 😀👍🍀🐟
I was just going to say the same thing.
You are learning to be a better fisherman. That trick you learned goes back further than my 63 years. Good luck and tight lines friend.
13:15 probably the most important element is location...beach structure structure structure.

Man! That new rig is a game changer. Can’t wait to try it! Way to spread the knowledge guys!!
I too learn every time I go out and have been doing it for over 50 years. I'm going to try this rig for pier fishing.

If your going to continue fishing here,, remember the weakfish that you caught, is the grey trout. The speckled sea trout, is also a weakfish, and both are in the drum family!
The weakfish, Cynoscion regalis and Cynoscion nebulosus, the spotted seatrout are 2 different fish they look different as well.
Its been really fun watching you grow in your skill and knowlege of fishing
Thanks! It’s been a fun journey
Do you have any Rod full set?? To selling? ?
I liked the video just bc you mentioned the Sinker Guy. So awesome watching you guys both skyrocket!
Learned that rig from the same guy, it really is so easy to tie and have a bunch of back ups, it’s all I use now
Amazing video, you're so professional....and your truck is fantastic!
Seafu master with the hard slings 😁👍🏽 learn alot from you! We are all learning for sure.
I learn so much from you and others I watch with rigs and bait and I've used a lot of it
I'm going snapper fishing from the shore tomorrow. I'm gonna try that rig! Greetings from Puerto Rico. 👍
Good luck!

Hey Skipper, can u make a video on how to do beach fishing. How to choose the spot. The right time and abt waves.
I go down every year and do the same thing with my truck. Hardly anyone on the beach. So peaceful and chill.
What time of year?
@@oatmeal63 June or July usually
I still have a picture of a pompano I caught in Destin Fl of a bite in its side. Being somewhat new to fishing, I had to look up what bit it... pretty cool.
Definitely going to give this rig a try! Thank you!
Great video guys thanks again god bless you and your family

Interesting set-up. I've always used the high low rig but not like this. Will start using it the next time I go out.
Very nice video mate as always keep it up
Hey Skipper. I always make knots wet before I tighten them to prevent heat. Greetings from the Netherlands.
You and your fiancee are the best at surf fishing bravo ☺

I love fishing I hope you all the best .
A thought on knot cinching; a bit of spit on the knot can allow the knot to be cinched tighter, and smoother, without friction generating heat...
Nice that's where I live, makes it so easy, I have a locked lid on my truck, so always packed and ready to go, just change out ice and drinks. For longer casts give the BC1 breakaway cannon a whirl, great when throwing heavy weight and braided line.
Hey Skipper. What's the big thing on the back of the truck? Thanks for the videos. Hello to Erin.
Glad to purchase your product and support the local American. Keep doin what ya doin!!
Maybe I'll run into ya on the coast for the blue & drum run!

So happy to help:) I’m glad you found us.
awesome session off the beach hope to see you land a giant redfish in the future!
Wow, one of the coolest rigs I’ve ever seen!
I really love your knowledge in fishing.may I ask when is the best and worst time to fish?
Hey Skipper, thanks mate for the ideas. from Australia :)
I’m really liking this rig ! Love the video and I’m going try this rig this weekend !
Thnx for the video guys
I like this rig! Thanks for sharing. You guys are awesome! Hoping to take my wife to the Georgia coast to surf fish soon! Stay safe!
Good luck!
the highlow rig and fish finder rig will always be my goto for baiting the beach

Thanks for these videos from a fellow Marylander and Cal Poly grad!
The sinker guy also learned that rig from the fishing mortician
Maybe the idea of the over hand is to purposely weaken the line so if it does break, it’s in a good spot.
@@gibbyrockerhunter smart!
What pound 💪 line have you got spooled up on the rod? Also, is it Mono? Braided?
I love the rig setup, simple enough everyone can reach for its potential.
Fish flips - Skipper "now that its dead". LOL
nice video. it doesnt matter how many style hook, rig, size, strong or whatever. the important answer is either fish bite or not bite. 😍🤩
Uhuiii fisherman out there.....wishing you have a good day
I aways like to try different rigs when I go fishing weather if it's lake fishing or sea fishing thanks for sharing your video's I'm sure to be trying that rig this weekend, and nice fishes

I live and fish the Massachusetts coastline. It gets rocky around here and this style rig is Sometimes essential
Nice video sir.Thanks again.I love every second of this video!
Im always watching your video every week,fishing is also my hobby hear in kuwait
Oh my gosh, that’s a really cool
Rig.
You should do a catch clean cook for the fried fish sandwich you guys always mention that would make a great video! Love the content keep it coming!
I was in NC last week and fished for a full week after whiting. It was rough and slow. Sand fleas were everywhere but i think it was to warm. Good luck!
That’s how it goes sometimes! At least you enjoyed the beach
Yeah man awesome catches my man! I like that rig, i just made one and it's real quick and easy to do, but I'm not going with the snap swivel for the weight...I prefer a loop knot for better presentation.

Wow something we've been using for over 30yrs.2 hook or 3 hook flapper.have a look at UK sea fishing rigs.👍

That Mortician Rig is truely a winner as it allows me to throw out a 6oz Sinker without a shock leader providing my main line is up to the task

Dommage je ne comprends pas l anglais mais rien de regarder vos montages ça m a appris des choses que je ne connaissais pas. Continuez comme ça. Bravo
Life changing! 👍🏼😊
Hey Brendon dose the stopper knots weaken the main line? Or dose the heavier line help with that 🍻🍻👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Good tutorial friend.. killer beach fishing rig
Hella yea dude love the video
Just answered all my questions from your last video. Thanks
Its new knowledge for me, thanks a lot, love it man
Grandiose man , j'ai bien aimé votre vidéo , un contenu très instructif et très bien expliqué
Je vous suis de l’Algérie
Haha took my break at the right time today and you should do a camping catch cool video on this beach .
Haha thanks for tuning in! We just got back from camping on the beach so there will be some camp catch cool videos coming up! Hope you enjoy 😁😁
@@HeySkipper Now to wait a week bitter sweet 😂 tight lines 🐟
Hey skipper can you use the same setup for fresh water rivers/streams/ lakes? Or is it specific to salt water fish
This type of rig has caught the most fish in my experience can't wait to try it out
NICE INFOMATION THANKS CATCH MORE

Thank goodness, I thought you catch something every time you are out...I thought I've been doing something wrong with my rigs, bait etc...at least I know even the best can go without fish on an outing..
Definitely going to try this , this Saturday off the pier
Most part it did fish just wasn't biting
Croakers are tasty even at that size. But they also make great bait for monsters!
what is the your recommendation on telescopic rods skipper ?
Thoroughly enjoyed your video all the best
Have a look at one,two and three hook flapper.gets used all of the time in the uk
Any rumor's/thought's !- when water be warm nuff 4 2021 NC Fishing 4 spots,crockers etc ! TY
I’m 62 and I’m learning from you. I’ve been fishing since I was a little guy
I like those sputnik sinkers. I bought 10 of them in different weights because of your videos
Weakfish are also called yellow-mouthed trout or summer trout.Great video!
