I totally agree, in my opinion there is nothing better than pilchards. I fished Key west area about three times and nothing worked better than the pilchards. Thank you for the nice video.
Dave, I was just looking up info on pilchards when, OMG!, there you were answering so many of my questions. Folks, Dave knows tons about butterflies and moths too. Hope you're doing well, Carl Terwilliger
HAHA - CARL GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU BRO!!! I have actually been thinking about getting out to see you one of these days!!!!! Your phone number still the same??
@@watchyourlip3209 Yes. I am finally starting to catch Jack Cravalle and whiting after years of trying for anything. Salt water fly fishing is my preferred method, but now Donna wants me to bring something home to eat. So I surf cast with braided line and two hooks with sand flea fish bites. I'm am a night person, so it is exciting to hear that you go out then rather then at 5am.
Oh that’s awesome bro. Thanks so much for the kind words and for the sub!! It is much appreciated. Lmk if you ever have any fishing questions. I’d be happy to help
Awesome video!!! I just moved to south Florida and I was wondering what's a good beach to fish in Miami, any recommendations are very appreciated. Thanks!!
Cool! Welcome to SoFlo! To be honest with you I’m not familiar with much in the Miami Dade County area. I typically fish either Palm Beach or Broward County. But if you come up to pompano beach or Fort Lauderdale beach, especially during the summertime when the beach schools are available, any beach holds fish when there are bait present. Thanks so much for watching our channel.
Brother I’m on the east coast and it is soooo different over here. The few times I’ve been at the west coast and have seen bait it has been close to inlets
I am tired of spending money buying bait every single day . I waited 56 years to learn how to throw a cast net. Now I have to find bait from my boat in the middle of the night.Please, help me. Kery Biscayne area.
I love the heart! I’m not super familiar with that area down there but I can tell you that finding Pilchard schools takes a little getting used to. They tend to like channels with lots of current. A lot of times they will hang out in your bridges or over small reefs. You can also check beach areas in Biscayne bay. Many times the bay schools will hug the shorelines to escape predators. A good depth finder with fish finding capabilities will do you very well. When you are over a beach school, you will see a big black cloud on your fishfinder. That’s when you throw. Or you can go out at night and anchor and throw a chum bag out, anywhere in the bay, use a sabiki rig and you will be able to catch them left and right. It will take a little getting used to, but you’ll find them.
How ya doing with the bait situation? A for sure spot is next to the port between fisher island and the river. Bridges also hold tons of pilchards and threads. 🫡💪🏼

Amazing video man. Right to the point and very informative. As a new fisherman this was insanely helpful. Definitely a subscription for me. Thank you!

What’s a good a spot or beach to find them? If you don’t mind sharing? I’m in the southwest area
Brother I’m on the east coast and it is soooo different over here. The few times I’ve been at the west coast and have seen bait it has been close to inlets
Hey bro. I’m in the south east. It’s waaay different here. I’ve seen them near inlets on the SW coast before. Sorry I don’t have any good SW spots
@@watchyourlip3209 gotcha if it helps by southwest I meant like by key biscayne type. I’m going to try different spots. Should I chum?
I just found your account and I’ve been watching all your vids 😂 your vids are really good
Sweet man. Thanks!!! Glad you enjoy them
Awesome, love you guys and appreciate your service to the king
Thanks Howard!!!! Until the Whole World Hears!
Yellow tail snappers love them as well.
Oh yeah baby
We use this in new Zealand for snapper kahawai all sorts of fish
They are the best baits for sure
What mesh should I use, I’m using a 3/8 and the bait kept getting stuck in the net
I know bro. It’s tough. I’d go 1/4”
@@watchyourlip3209 isn’t 1/4 bigger than 3/8
@@frostizz2072 I hate fractions as well but no, quarter inch is smaller than 3/8
@@watchyourlip3209 oh your right, I though 1/4 was bigger cuz it sounded much larger than the number 3/8
@@watchyourlip3209 all those math classes for nothing lol
What do you think of using pilchards for intercoastal waters?
I love it!!! I do all the time
Enjoyed the program
Nice!!!!! Thanks for watching
hello...which beach was this? Thanks.
Hey bud. There is video footage here from three different beaches. Delray, Boca and Pompano.
Is it legal in the US to use live bait?
Oh Lord yes! I pray that never changes!!
For the most part yes but the US is a broad term. Look up the rules for the state you plan on cause freshwater is very different and more restrictive.
Wonderful video. Every and everything eats a live pilchard.
So true! Pilchards rock!
how do u find spots on the beach without people on it
It’s getting harder and harder

Any luck? I’m having the same problem trying to find bait in that same area.

Well today’s lesson is not to be a pilchard.
Yes! That would suck!
