      I tried a gray shad colored saltwater assassin fluke with a 1/4 ounce chartreuse shad head and switched up with a bunker colored 3/8 ounce spro bucktail the bluefish liked it the first hour but then the bite got slower so I tried a shrimp rig with some clams only caught 1 15 inch bluefish

  • @Andre-Nader

    One question I had was whether the height of the pier would impact what swim bay to use?
    Many of the California coast piers are really high up and the angle of retrieval feels off.

    Here's a little trick I use with a sinker. I attach an ordinary paper clip to my line and put the weight on that. It has very low break away weight. If my weight snags in the rocks, that's all I'll lose.

    The pier where I fish mostly is at Huntington Beach Pier in CA. Sabiki are used mostly because Mackerel and Smelts are always present at the end of the pier. Sometimes I see a few shark anglers there, but I'm not too interested in that. Anglers here use Carolina Rigs or Fish Finder Rigs to fish for Perch, Striped Sand Bass, and Yellowfin Croaker. These fish are mostly near mid or even beginning of the pier; though they use mussels to fish these. I wonder if spoons or the "flounder rig" works here at the pier. It seems it would work for surf fishing just north of my pier like around Dog Beach or near the jetty. I'm just so use to bait fishing for Mackerels and Smelts that I want to fish other species xD.

  • @flybywire1022
    @flybywire1022 6 лет назад

    I like to start off with a speck rig when I get to a pier after I’ve set up a pole with live bait. I’ve also used the lures to catch live bait while I’m waiting on the big rod to get picked up.
    I’ll also use a modified speck rig, where I’ll only have a jig head on the bottom leader, but leave the top leader with an unweighted swim bait.
    After a few minutes I can narrow down where in the water column the fish are at. For example, if I’m getting more fish caught on the jig head, I know they are on bottom.
    My second favorite lure for pier fishing is a rattle trap style lure. Especially in really murky/dirty water.

      I’m from Texas and fish the gulf coast here. Primarily the surf, piers, and wade fish the bays on occasion.
      One of the greatest kept secrets to pulling big fish off of jetties are using big spoons, 2-4 oz towards the end of the jetties at the edge of the deep water.

  • @patrickmcmullen1190

    Is there some kind of artificial bait. That will be good. To use with a float of some kind to cast it out. And just let it set. Out there. That will get the fish to bit it and take it. That with the float will set itself. And catch fish ( passively. ) I am a outdoor survival Bushcraft man. If so what is it and how does it work that have a good chance of working

For swimbaits/ lures do you recommend tying directly or would a snap swivel attachment be ok? do you put a trailer on the swim baits or lures (squid etc) ?
