My kids always ask for the mac&cheese too lol I love fishing from the surf. Last year my 5 year old caught a whiting about 18” long and maybe 4lbs at Surfside beach, in like knee deep water. Caught him on a kids zebco 3ft rod with only fish bites. It was awesome.
Imo whiting and croakers are great eating when cooked properly, particularly for fish Tacos. I liked the straps fried in seasoned cornmeal. We lived on them during college!...great video!...buck
Be very careful in the surf. I walked along sand bars and through troughs and was getting great bits and a few fish I ended up getting lured into chest deep water and a wave knocked me off of a sandbar and I couldn’t get back to it. Threw my pole and swam without results, luckily I was with a few other people and they made a chain with the rods and pulled me back onto the bar. I was exhausted but wanted to get back to the beach so I tried to follow the winding bar and went into another deep pocket. Obviously I survived but I just want to warn people that the bite will lure you and the water will kill you.
@@DIAPERJOE As a kid the whole family would go out seining. We had a 100 foot net. My dad was always the tallest so they would put him on the deep end. This was in the 70’s. Several times he would step into a hole and they would have to pull him back onto the bar with the net. He just never let go. 😂. Only time I ever saw him let go and swim for it was when he said something big came around the end of the net and brushed against him. He said it had to be at least 10 foot long. It just kept going and going. 😂. Man they use to catch a lot of fish that way. Looking back I see why it’s illegal now.
When your Wade fishing and you go into a deeper pocket of water, I call it a trough then you go up on a sandbar and then another trough. Those deep areas are long that I call a trough just like a watering trough for horses. if you wade out there in the water watch where the water is breaking in waves, those are your sandbars. You will have to go through troughs to get to it and if you’re carrying bait, keep it out of the water and those troughs those deep waterways are prime places for sharks and other big fish.
Wade out a little too far into cloudy, rough surf to fish and tie the stringer of fish to belt loop, then run backwards and yell when the bullshark eats the fish off the stringer! I saw that a few years back on Padre Island.
If you want to catch whiting on dead shrimp, just put a ball of peeled shrimp on your hook. Cast close to the beach with the surf the way it is. You’ll clean them up in no time.
In Australia, fishermen standing knee deep or deeper have a plastic, bumbag with their bait around their waist and save themselves endless walking back to rebait.
I was out there on Wednesday at the surf. Was a tough day for me. Only a whiting hand hardhead. The weather got horrible very quickly and winds picked up to about 40mph, forcing me to leave.
If you use the whole shrimp, you make it easier for the fish to take the shrimp off the hook by tugging at it. You need to have just enough shrimp to cover the hook, so they take the hook. You could have easily caught fish with just 1/8th of the shrimp you bought.
That's FUN Fishing and less Mercury in those smaller fishes but just as Tasty as their Big Brothers, My Mother liked the smaller fish much more and asked for me to catch them for Her❤🙏 Love You Mom
Croaker and whiting are good eating if fresh. Biggest speckled trout I ever caught though, 29 inches, was on croaker. Take that small croaker, fillet it, and scale, so one side is shiny. Trout love it.
@@MDLRFishing It was in the 80’s, I was like 16 years old. Down in Louisiana, surf fishing. Threw out my line and walked a little ways down the beach to throw a cast net. I saw a big trout come out of the water, then saw my pole bent over. 😂. Ran over and reeled that big girl in. Ran all the way back home to Granny’s with that fish. People living around there didn’t believe me when I said I caught it in the surf. Granny had a picture of me holding it on her wall for years. Lost the photo when Hurricane Rita destroyed her home. It been all down hill since. 😂.
Whiting has a nice taste, We eat it a lot when I lived in Pleasantville, NJ. cheap fish to buy. Not too may surf fisherman around me, but mustard? your fish will taste like mustard. just flour & fry them boys up in oil
You blew Gordon Ramsey away bro ! Hells Kitchen dose not come close ! Hell Yeah and Cheers Bro TL ! Question dose them whiting have a shit load of bones ? I always throw them back but you showed me how its done Thanks !
I was looking in your description on what you was using and I’ve never heard of a mosquito hook and I didn’t see in description below. I was where you had the rod and real and the line.
Watching all these surf fishing videos I caught the itch. I’m from Washington St know of anything good to fish for here. I’ve done lots of salmon steelhead and trout but never tried surf.
If I could I would Like to post a picture on here of a whiting that I caught. I got one that was almost completely 3 lb. It was 2 3/8 lbs. I'm here in Texas and I said Galveston area Freeport San Luis pass and all around here. And they really are very good eating.
I like fishing the surf and I was just wondering why you use a 8’ rod? I have a6’6” rod and I’m assuming that’s good enough other then my surf rod I have.
@@MDLRFishing Interesting, I've never heard of it here in Michigan. Does it come pre mixed or do you have to make it yourself. If it's premixed, what is brand name and how much to you add to your beer? I'm dying to try it, thanks.
It's funny how different species of fish around the world share the same name. US whiting different to UK whiting definitely different to Australian whiting.
Wow His comment about Gordon Ramsay is a has been? Mustard and flavoured crumbed whiting? Yucko. In Australia we drink straight beer no mixes and whiting fried with salt and pepper. Tasty fish doesn’t need the wanna be Chef.

Swear the 2020’s Bob Ross of fishing 🎣, even with the previous military experience. Your videos always decompress me after work
i just got back into fishing after battling the back to civ life depression. you always cheer me up. Semper Fi

@@MDLRFishing got the poles ready for some snook for tomorrow! Been way to long since I got one

Mustard is used a lot for BBQ smoking. It’s a great binder to keep the seasoning on the meat, and you don’t taste it when it’s cooked.
These winds along the Texas coast needs to calm down.
Good luck
If you want to catch whiting on dead shrimp, just put a ball of peeled shrimp on your hook. Cast close to the beach with the surf the way it is. You’ll clean them up in no time.
Put the bag of dead shrimp in your pocket while wade fishing out there for some up close shark encounters. 🙂
I threw a hand full in my pocket out on san Louis pass, not even thinking till I was waist deep. Yeah I got the hell out of there
I fish with bait on my hip. Stomach deep
I hope you are out fishing today getting some content. Watching this from the truck of the bed at Exit 1C puppy drums are biting here.
In Australia, fishermen standing knee deep or deeper have a plastic, bumbag with their bait around their waist and save themselves endless walking back to rebait.
Definitely the way to do it 👍

Someone out there fishing in the U-HAUL Truck 😂😂😂

We used to put our dead shrimp in a mayo jar tie a string around it, and then to our waist. Let it float behind us for quick rebating.
Very smart 👍
Oooee,love catching and eating whiting. Like you said,they can get a lot bigger,but overall a good tasting fish.
I was gonna copy your set up till I realized what reel you had 🤣🤣
I was out there Wednesday. Started off strong with a blacktip, then it was hardhead city, then ended it with another blacktip.

Thank you for the advice. I’ll try this next time.
Like the change up. Mark next time you go can you thrown small lures to see if you can catch a whiting on one.
I’ll keep this in mind.
Wow. I was on Boliver watching the line come in. Been years since I was on beach for a front. Love it.
Looks amazing and then the sand had to ruin our eyes 👀 😂

Show us the stinging fish so that we know what to look out for. Is it in their fins,like a cat fish?
Yes, watch out for them.
Croaker and whiting are good eating if fresh. Biggest speckled trout I ever caught though, 29 inches, was on croaker. Take that small croaker, fillet it, and scale, so one side is shiny. Trout love it.
I can’t even imagine catching a trout that big. 🙌

Happy Father’s Day! Whiting looks great.
Great video. Can tell you love to catch em and eat em!!!
I love how you can just drive up to the beach. 😎
👍😎

It’s a little further down the description 👍
saya sangat menyukai cara pancingan pantai anda..banyak yang dapat saya belajar disini..
I grew up going to Smittys. Best bait for surf fishing for dinner.
Agreed 👍
👍👍👍👍👍great catch and cook video .
Living the dream.
Thank you 🙏
Watching all these surf fishing videos I caught the itch. I’m from Washington St know of anything good to fish for here. I’ve done lots of salmon steelhead and trout but never tried surf.
Probably end up catching a whale up there man, that’s my home State… I need to make it up there one of these days
Put that little whiting on for big reds ect... whole or cut!!!
You should make an adapter for those pvc rod holders to hold your bait.
I’ve been meaning to buy some new pvc to extend them.
That's a big one!
If I could I would Like to post a picture on here of a whiting that I caught. I got one that was almost completely 3 lb. It was 2 3/8 lbs. I'm here in Texas and I said Galveston area Freeport San Luis pass and all around here. And they really are very good eating.
Nice day to go fishing 🎣 👍
Love it!
Those whiting when they are small would be a good catfish bait especially when they are dead for a couple of days
Interesting 🤔
Thats what I use for bait. Fort Myers Shark fishing
I like fishing the surf and I was just wondering why you use a 8’ rod?
I have a6’6” rod and I’m assuming that’s good enough other then my surf rod I have.
I like pointing the rod tip to the sky so the surf isn’t always pounding my line.
What's up what's your daily commute to your fishing grounds
Never used mosquito hook just curious why you use that hook ?
No Michelada recipe?!! Haha 🎉🐟
Nice video. Do those whiting bite throughout the summer?
Yes they do 👍
NICE !...what you're calling 'whiting'...we called 'roundheads' on the Outer Banks...looks like same fish...
Great video!
You got ungreatful camera people shoot ! I want some of that fish looks 😋
in saltwater whitting are my favorite fish to catch and eat.
Sea trout and mangroves are better but they’re all good.
What was that you mixed in with the beer?
Michelada mix
Try using lures in the surf when the water is green
I've never seen green water on the Texas coast in all the times I've been there.
@@glorialotz3333 It happens you just have to be there at the right time. The wind has to be light for long enough.
@@glorialotz3333 July

It's funny how different species of fish around the world share the same name. US whiting different to UK whiting definitely different to Australian whiting.
I need to look them up 👍
Your visitor clearly does not know the protocol of fishing : keep away from the spot you are fishing
8 footrod in the surf, wtf gomer ?..😂
What location is this beach? NC?
Galveston TX
Nice video
Looks like Jamaica Beach
What was the species that would sting you?
Hard head catfish
buena comida!

Why do you use braid and the a leader. It's only whiting your fishing for. Too much over kill
Also don't brown the butter and you over cooked those tiny filets
Dead shrimp =hardheads nonstop,worst way to fish the surf.
I know were you at
First!
Not sure why im watching you eat
Great job!!
