Thanks for taking time to explain the tackle you’re using for the day. Helps us beginner anglers.
Thanks for watching J.R.
Glad I came across your channel. I’m land locked now and haven’t salt water fished in years. This video reminded me when my dad and I would go fishing in 78 and 79 around St Luis pass at the bridge on the Surfside side catching specs. Thanks , enjoyed watching. Did subscribe.
Darrell Willburn Thanks For the comment Darrell
Thanks for the video. Great way to end the week. It will keep me dreaming all weekend and inspiration for the next week.
Life goes on. God has blessed you and your sharing videos, blesses us all.
Jeff Oltman Hey thank you Jeff.
RedfishRoss, I knew you were gonna catch a red! That was awesome, kickass, cast and catch! Been waiting for a new vid and got it. Thank you for the update, keep em coming and tight lines never stop!
Joe Anthony Thanks Joe !
Red fish are my must catch fish I don’t know why but first video I saw catching them I was hooked pun intended
Has not happened yet I’m from a North west Ga so missed the run this year but I’m planning on keeping track on them and the Pompano
Thanks for sharing
Subscribed because you are extremely good at making videos and you handle fish properly. Not squeezing the trout and rubbing off their slime coats. Getting fish back in the water super quick and properly. I’d kill to have your boat and equipment. Great work Ross! Tight lines!
GrapeFacedJMike710 Hey thanks a lot Mike , glad you like the channel.
so informative thanks for all the advice and keep the videos coming God Bless You with so many more years looking forwards to more of your videos
mike196532 Thanks a lot Mike.
Awesome slow mo of the fish throwing the bait. Great video!
Hey Thanks A Lot Fish Hawk !
I love the camera angle. It makes it easier to learn how in my opinion.
Thanks for watching Nathaniel.
I've never seen a trout jump like a bass; but she was fighting for her life. Still fun to watch! thanks for sharing Tim
skunked again Thanks for watching Tim.
great video... just wanted to thank you. my son and I had an awesome fishing trip at south padre island, tx. because of your videos and information, we caught trout all week. i have never caught that many trout. i do appreciate you sharing your wealth of information. videos... my son is hooked for life now.. FISH ON...>--------/
alex gil Hey thanks a lot Alex ! Love to hear that your son is now a fisherman.
That trout was a beast. I’ve lost several large trout as well in that area. I lost a behemoth just north of that right across the Reynolds plant. Right across the plant in the cove. I no longer have a boat so I’ve decided to get a yak. I can still access some great spots with it. Also allows me to fish out here where I live in Houston. I grew up fishing in Mustang and Port Aransas area. I no longer fish like I used to so I watch your videos to get my fix. Lol. Tight lines Brother.
I wish I had a boat. I work right next to where you are fishing. And I’ve always told my friends “now that’s where the fish are at!!” Lol. Good catch my friend
Thanks Adam.
Oh man! That trout at the end had some moves!! Looked like he's done that a time or two!
Reel_life_Roland Yea he definitely won the fight lol.
Xms
Looks like the Reds & Trout approve of the new popping cork! Oh... don't feel bad.... my mind wanders a lot too. Nice trout at the end!! Thanks for sharing.
Old Lady Angler Thanks for watching !
Hello Mr. RedfishRoss I would like to say thank you for your both fishing videos im a big fan keep up the good work and love the awesome work on catching fish.
Texas Reaper Thank you !
Nice fish bought me the pews rod and pisafun reel can’t wait to use it
David Baker Nice Combo.
Awesome video! Just subbed, look forward to seeing more! Greetings from Louisiana.
Thanks Bro.
13:31 is the reason we all keep fishing. Love your videos amigo.
marioq379 Hey thanks Bro.
Hey Ross, looks like the Torrent is doing pretty good. I'm gonna try mine for the first time Sunday. Tight Lines have a Great weekend
Brock F Hey thanks Brock , good luck Sunday.
The slow motion footage was cool. That trout was not giving up! I'll be down there Sunday and Monday fishing just south of CC bay. Can't wait!
Marc H. Go get them Marc !
Well we didn't catch a lot. But I did get my PB trout this morning on a TTF killer flats minnow xl in the East Beast color. 22 inches. Not a huge trout but not bad. The wind was 20-30mph. We were drifting pretty fast even with a sock.
Marc H. Hey congrats on the PB , 22 inches is a good trout. The wind is bad this week !
Had a friend stopped by the other and he saw that same exact setup on one of my rods and asked me what it was and I said it's a "RFR rig". He goes "RFR gig"? I said Red Fish Ross... get with the program dude! I sure like to give it a good go but the winds down here in the Tampa area are brutal right now but sooner or later I'm going to get on the water. Thanks for your great videos .
Flats Fishing Very cool about the RFR rig lol. Man I hear you about the wind ! I can’t get on the water here also because of it.
Excellent video. I've been fishing popping corks, Cajun Thunder-types and maulers for 40 years and still picked up a good tip or two from ya'. Like the multi-twitch pause multi-twitch pause that works. I need to vary my cadence and include yours. Also, I know your anguish at losing that really large trout, have had it happen too often on their jumps, and I remember those as much if not more than large fish landed. And so often, it seems they'll shadow a cork-twitched lure all the way to the boat and often hitting as I lift it out to make the next cast. It ends up surprising both of us, with them often the winner and me saying what you did.
Hey thanks for the comment John.
You Sir do a Great Video! None of that crazy studio music in the back ground. Just the sounds of the trip! Thanks for sharing and doing such a good video
Mark Corbin Hey thanks Mark , yes sir I’m not into a bunch of B Roll and stuff. I just want folks to feel like they are on a fishing trip.
Well your video is one of the best Ive seen! Love things just being natural. Never killed a Deer or Caught a Fish with Hard Rock playing in the Back Ground! LOL Once again Great work!
Yourself and @thresherfishing have a lot of great info. Love the videos.
Awesome video keep it up. Never tried the popping cork set up but I'm starting to think I need to now.
sean moore Hey thanks Sean , yes it’s a fish catching rig.
Those gator trout are a whole different animal. They always go nuts right at the boat/kayak/shoreline and make you hold your breath hoping they don't come off.
JW Yakangler Very true Bro !
those bomber corks are what I use too Ross. they work great and last too.
Jake McNutt Hey Jake , yea they are good.
Your video is a breath of fresh air... not a lot of opening music, brief explanation of the tackle and then, get to fishing...
Ed Sanford Thanks Ed , glad you liked it.
Bought the Piscifun Torrent also Seems like a good reel Happy so far I knew you'd give a good honest review and when you were fine with it, I figured for $40 I couldn't go wrong
scott wilson Hey Scott , time will tell how it holds up , but I think it's a lot of reel for 40 $. Thanks for watching.
What size jig heads do you usually use under popping corks? Some people say that 1/4 oz heads can be too heavy and cause too fast of a drop after a couple of pops and that 1/8 oz or maybe even 1/16 oz are better. They say it effects the action of the soft plastic or at least the drop rate. It may effect the action of certain soft plastics but I don't know if it will matter with gulp shrimp considering their action is nonexistent. Thanks.
Bob Gill Hey Bob , yes I agree about the 1/4 oz dropping to fast , I use 1/8 oz for everything. Gulps are not as buoyant as soft plastics so you could probably even use a 1/16 oz with them. In my opinion rate of fall is critical for drawing more strikes. Tight Lines !
That was a nice trout I used to lose some years ago when I used to fish in the coast and someone told me that when you get close to a boat or the bank always keep your rods facing down and do not let the fish come out of the water if he comes out of the water he will shake his head and get that hook right out and it looks like that's what happened there, good luck keep on fishing...
Wow, when you get excited about the size of a fish it must be a really good sized fish. It's too bad he shook off the hook. Thanks for bringing us along.
Phillip Hale Hey thanks Phillip , yes big Trout get me fired up lol. It was a really big one for that area.
nice fish. tight lines brotha. i think i watched this video a few years back when i was just getting into trout fishing and im hooked now
Connor Sigmund Thanks Connor.
Thanks for taking us fishing with you!
Ben Pena Thanks for watching Ben.
I tried the new Highwater corks and feel in love with them
Not sure if you remember me telling you to try out those corks but those corks are the best hold up great
Dustin Chotto Hey Dustin , yes I remembered, that's why I tried one thanks.
When your talking about fishing grass lines. Do you mean the shore line or where the grass underwater meats a sandy bottom?
sting ray Yes where the grass meets the sand under water.
Where you fishing in Portland. I was looking for a spot around there. Thanks
Gabe
Yes very close to Portland.
Nice fish. Appreciate the Catch and Release!
DavidE Thanks David.
Horse’sd em............Saw it right off! Haha. Great video, first time viewer. Great job sir!
Bryan Outdoors Hey thanks Bryan.
Nice Jerimiah Johnson reference. Love that movie!
Really enjoy your videos. Hope you are in good health and safe from the storm. I don't live near there, so I wanted to ask why there are so many fish consistently at that spot? What are the features that make it so attractive to the fish? That way I can find similar features near my neck of the woods? Thanks.
ariel martinez Hey thanks Ariel , this is a good summer time spot because of the good grass and sand bottom and more importantly it's very close to very deep water.
don't matter if the water is messed up. you'll still catch em, Ross lol. Thx for sharing
Yodaddi Jim Hey thanks for watching Jim.
great video, glad to see your other boat
Dean Nation Hey thanks for watching Dean.
Great educated videos, how many turns of the reel in between the 3 to 4 twitching of your rod tip?
Hector Coria Thanks Hector , this is a high speed reel so 2 turns.
Love how you never see your lure or cork hit the water lol. Long cast lol.
Bayou Buck makes a bunch a great popping corks.
Stephen Kolman Thanks for the info Stephen.
Sir, you’re an amazing angler! I really enjoyed this video! I also hit the SUB button! Yeahhh!
Chon Rubio Hey thanks a lot Chon , glad you liked the channel.
Great vid Mr. Ross, I need to learn how to throw a popping cork on my shimano baitcaster!!
christian jh Go get them Bro !
Keep up the good work mr.ross . Will you ever do a video fishing the rockport area .👍🏼
David Serna Hey thanks David , I fish around the Rockport flats a lot in the fall , winter , and spring. Many of my flats videos are filmed there. Here's one ruclips.net/video/Buq6CupY7KQ/видео.html
That is a nice boat. What kind is it?
David Kalb Jr. Thanks David it’s a14.5 Shoalwater Cat.
Nice fish. Actually Speckled Trout is my favorite fish to catch and eat.
What kind of trolling motor/size/ specs are you using? Seems like it was on "on spot location"?
It’s a 12 volt 55# thrust Minnkota , does not have spot lock.
Love the way you dead stick those trout!!!
Derail 69 Thanks Bro.
+RedfishRoss is that a loop knot tied to the jig head?
great video also!!
Derrick Gordon Hey Derrick , yes I always use a loop knot when I’m using a leader because it gives the lure more freedom of movement.
+RedfishRoss thanks for your reply! My last question is, do you get better action from the cork with braid on the reel vs mono? Right now I have mono on the reel with mono leader, due to the area I fish here in Jacksonville with a lot of structure inshore.
Derrick Gordon I prefer mono with these big corks because they catch a lot of air when you cast them and braid backlashes easily.
Thanks and I appreciate your help so much! Happy Holidays to you and your family!!
Derrick Gordon You also Bro , Happy Holidays.
Question for any takers: how long of a leader should you have below the popping cork? Thanks
Here is a video I did that should answer your question and more , thanks for watching. ruclips.net/video/c7uyi015VQs/видео.html
@@redfishross thank you so much for this! I have been asking this question on a bunch of these videos and nobody ever wanted to answer it. Thank you sir!
@@dwaynef5410 welcome Friend.
How do you like the lews tp1? I'm thinking about getting one. Thanks
Strippin' Drag fishing TV I really like it , especially the grips they use , you can fish it all day and still comfortable in your hand.
Does it hold in Saltwater long term?
love the release on that first trout
Wesley Carl Thanks.
Awesome vid! Hey, what brand name of boat are you on? What engine do you have on the back? Thanks
Traceelliot 13 Hey Trace here’s a video I did on it ruclips.net/video/uGwTlHeAW2s/видео.html
@@redfishross Thanks for that, I really appreciate that. And always know that I'm saying a prayer for you that God will heal you. God's love is healing.
This song has always helped me through some of my hardest times. God has healed me from serious health issues.
ruclips.net/video/7eqGHlg8JBQ/видео.html
So I just bought a Poppin cork the other day to use here in coastal NC. How do you know how deep to fish it? Do you want the bait right at the bottom or a certain distance from the bottom? Great fishing there!
banjomaniac I always try and hit the middle so if water is 4 foot deep I use a 2 foot leader.
My dad and I love your channel! He is the one who told me about you and I haven't missed a video yet haha. I caught my biggest trout on this lure without the cork last year, it's good to see you killing fish on it! Never comment but just wanted you to know
ThePILFside Hey Bro , thanks for the great comment !
A few of those trout would be happy in my cast iron fry pan
Kewoeeke
I LOVE THE WAY of fishing
I bet that speck is a legend there in his waters 😄
Titan5 Point6 Yes I think it owned that stretch of water lol.
You should try the FP3 popping cork. It is the best cork i have ever bought. It is made by a local guide down here in South Padre Island. The guy's name is Freddy Petty. I am not sure if you can buy them on line but they are badass.
Nate K Hey thanks for the info Nate.
RedfishRoss i couldnt find the corks online and freddy isnt selling them online but if you can get your hands on 1 ya wont regret it. Its like a Cajun thunder that has a thicker wire that wont bend with a plastic cap on tje bottom.
Nate K Ok thanks I will check it out.
How do you cast that popping cork on a baitcaster so easily? No backlashes or anything!
Duc Tran The trick is to not throw it too hard , use an easy lob type cast.
@@redfishross Like a sideways cast? I can't tell from the video. Great content by the way!
Duc Tran Not sideways , just a normal cast but slower and easier.
When going for Reds how do you determine to throw Topwater or bottom?
Ross Best There’s a lot of factors involved , but weather is a big one , cloudy days and a falling barometer with some wind are the best for top water. Water temperature is another , when the water gets cold it’s harder to catch them on top.
I don’t comment much, but I really enjoyed the video. Heading to Edisto SC this summer for some of the same and I’d like another casting rod/reel. Would you recommend the torrent in that price range or would you go with something else? Also, how did the popping cork hold up?
Onetime75 Hey thanks , glad you liked the video. I had a corrosion issue with the pinion gear bearing but if you keep it oiled up good it’s a solid reel at that price. The corks are awesome , really durable.
Good vid Ross looking thru your old content went ahead and subscribed looking for new content buul reds and flounder are here 😃🐟
That by port a?aransas bay?i see them oil rigs by port a in background 🤔
Lee Izaak Yes.
RedfishRoss damn I just got me pop cork today going to try it out!looks like a redfish hack lol thanks buddy. Great video
Lee Izaak Thanks Lee , you will like that cork.
RedfishRoss caught 3 reds and 2 trout today in a short time off this rig!👆🏼this man speaks facts!!👍
Lee Izaak Glad to hear it worked for you !
How are you able to throw a popping cork with a baitcaster?. Two baitcasters i have do nothing but backlash.
Chloe millers Fabulous cheeks The most important thing is to have your bait caster tuned right and secondly with a cork you want to make more of a lob cast. If you try and throw it hard you run into problems.
I noticed you let fish swim pass the Bow and land them behind you? Does this help landing them?
Yes it does , because the bow is higher than the sides. Thanks for watching Joseph.
@@redfishross Thank You for your videos! You are a wonderful fisherman!
Cool man you'll get her next time
I just don't get lure fishing. But you slaying em
Mr. Ross what's your take on the Lews TP-1 after using it for a while.
Flats Fishing I like it , it’s super light weight but still has good backbone.
TY👌
Just baught me some of those lol. Have you ever tried the vudu shrimp under your cork? Pretty fish catcher there. They tough to.
James Backyard Fisherman Have not tried that one , tried the DOA shrimp but hooks are too small.
RedfishRoss they have two sizes a snall and a jumbo. You know once at place called Blind pass. I caught 22 snook 8 redfish all bulls in 1 night. Never changed lures. Just smeared a dab of pro cure sent it back out lol.
Is that Portland or Port A?
Hey Ross, are you using mono line or fluoro? Thanks
Buddens Beard It's a line they don't make anymore it was a cofilament called Sensor.
Hey Ross I fish in Rockport/Aransas area and recommend you try the Purple Reign color down south super model it's been working really good for me
Brenden van duzer Hey thanks for the tip Brenden.
How in the heck are you able to cast a cork? I tried to hook one on to my baitcaster and my M/H rod and I got nothing but bird's nests. I usually just stick to fishing corks on my spinning reel. Any tips?
dlaich1 Because the corks catch a lot of wind you have to use more braking than with a normal lures. It’s just a matter of tuning your bait caster to the size and shape of the cork you’re using.
Did you change the leader throughout the day ?? I sometimes lose fish because I forget to check if it's bitten from the previous bite , and sometimes when I hook a good one, the line pops 😭😭
Marcos Reyna Hey Marcos , I use fluorocarbon because it's very tuff , but I do check for nicks and if I feel any I change the leader.
Ross do you add any kind of scent to your lure? Great video!
Outfield Coach Drills Thanks Coach , I did not in this video , but lately I have been experimenting with some Procure Shrimp scent , can’t say it helps but it certainly doesn’t hurt.
Good video. What lure were you using
Chris Vinesett Hey Chris , it was a Plum Chartreuse Down South Super Model.
Hey man, love the videos. Keep em coming. I just want to know what kind of boat that is and if you'll ever do a tour video of it
ruclips.net/video/uGwTlHeAW2sJ/видео.htmlames Harrell Hey thanks James, the boat is a 14.5 Shoalwater Cat. Here's the video on it
RedfishRoss thanks I just recently found your channel. I live in mobile, al so inshore fishing is my love but I can never find anyone vlogging it like you do. Thanks.
Not sure if this helps you, it helped me. When any fish jumps at the surface, just as they break the water, point your rod down. I was always told to just stick it in the water. Be it trout, bass, tarpon, or ladyfish. Since I learned that trick as a teen I've never lost a fish to a breaching head shake.
What kind of cameras are you using? Go-pro of some kind?
description says hero 3 +
Boneshaker Yes Hero 3+ Black and Hero 5 + Black.
Hey RedfishRoss, just saw your channel man.. subscribed.. real quick though, what settings are you using for the Hero 5 Black? Thats the same exact camera Ive got, but the videos tend to be grainy on mine.
I love your video RedfishRoss. I'm trying to help my son catch his first Redfish. He has caught plenty of trout but has yet to catch a redfish in Hilton Head. What tides do you like to fish. Maybe we will try that soft plastic instead of DOA and Voodu shrimp
Greg Young Hey Greg , great to hear you are getting your son into fishing. Our tides here in Texas are so minimal I don’t pay any attention to them. I think your son will have better luck with a paddle tail soft plastic than with the shrimp style bait. Tight Lines !
I use Voodo Shrimp and DOA in Hilton Head....get redfish, flounder, trout and sheephead
How long is your leader is it florcarbon or Mono?
Salem Blair Hey Salem , my leader is 20# Fluorocarbon and the length depends on the depth of water I’m fish. If I’m fishing in 4 foot of water I use a 2 foot leader. I always try to hit the mid range of the depth.
RedfishRoss. Iv never been able to hook up with a pop cork and a lure thats amazing and i used to live next to Port Aranssas always wanted to try that color but ppl buy them out quick
Salem Blair That’s True !
Hey redfishross, im fairly new at using a baitcaster and ive been struggling with throwing a popping cork on my baitcaster for trout. I can cast just about everything with it, except whenever I use a cork, it causes a backlash. can you provide me with any tips to avoid it? I use braid btw, not sure if that makes a difference. Thanks!
Daniel A Hey Daniel , Popping Corks and Braid is a tuff combo to cast if you are fairly new to bait casters. Mono or Fluorocarbon makes it easier to handle. Corks catch a lot of air so it’s easier to get back lashes. The trick to casting corks no matter which line you use is to not throw them too hard. A lob type cast will give you plenty of distance and cut way down on over runs.
thanks for the reply. I'll test that out tomorrow and maybe tighten the tension knob a little more than normal!
what time of day was this? rising or falling tide?
DubFishin Hey Dub , I fished from 9 am till noon , our tides here are so small I don’t even look at that.
Where is this? Brownsville, Tx
RGV Fire Medical Response This is Corpus Christi.
how shallow are you fishing in this video?
Strippin' Drag fishing TV It ranges from 3 to 6 feet.
could you make a video on removing different kinds of hooks or what to do when the hook is deep especially on the smaller fish.
Just cut the line to get the fish a chance. Trying to remove a gutted hook will most likely kill them.
Wow love this video
David Baker Thanks , glad you liked the video.
Great job brother
it looks like chorpus christy .... i was just there, fishing was amazing
eric day Yes it is , thanks for watching.
I knew I recognized my river/backbay
Is that popper tied directly to the main line?
D C Hey D C , no it’s connected with a # 3 snap.
Another great video 👍 makin me home sick,to bad about that last big girl. It kinda lets the air out of you when that happens,you'll get er done next time 🎣🐟🐟
James Scarberry Hey no problem, I would have turned her loose anyway.
love your videos! do you use a power pole or just reposition with the trolling motor often? thanks and tight lines!
Malcolm Lochiel Hey Malcom , I just use the trolling motor.
So, dumb question, but does Texas not let you keep trout? Were they all undersized? Just noticed they all went back.
MrJuansWorld In Texas you can keep 5 a day over 15 inches. I practice catch and release 99 % of the time , if I get hungry for fish I will keep one or two to be eaten the same day. Yes these were all legal size.
im an operator at chemours. I see people fishing back here all the time but never have the chance to stop and see if they are catching anything. Guess this is my answer. Nice vid. Do you fish round here often and ever from shore?
faithislife86 I fish it a lot in the summer because I can usually get away from the crowds there. I have never fished it from land though. Thanks for watching.
Just wanted to tell you I like the fact that you released those beautiful trouts. I like to do the same though I sometimes keep my limit but keep fishing after just because their great fighters. P.s. just found those Bomber corks at Walmart. Finally found them at a good price.✌🏻
CA CARDS Hey thanks Bro , glad you found those corks at a good price.
Thanks will be subbing your channel. I even saw way back when your wife caught that monster trout. I’ll be at a nice fishing lodge on Thanksgiving and the day after. Can’t wait to put those corks to use. Hope you have a great & safe Thanksgiving. GOD BLESS! And keep them fishing vids coming.✌🏻
CA CARDS Hey thanks for the sub , you will be there at a great time to fish those corks.
