I love that you said it’s a learning process- every time I cast and watch and talk to other anglers I learn. Fish on or skunked it is the always a good day when fishing❤️.
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ruclips.net/user/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
I really admire your family. Everyone is into fishing which is really nice. Cool dad. Wish I could fish with my dad but hes long gone. Keep up the good work and before you know, you will have a mil subscribers.
I like your honesty, and your conclusion, locals can teach you a lot about their area, you learn something new every time you go out fishing. Your guys fishing is different than us here in south Africa but the basic principals are always the same. Keep on fishing
You are out there fishing with men who have been doing this all of their lives. it’s amazing to watch. It’s amazing to be a part of a bluefish blitz. go in November your guaranteed to mail them. You just need to bring bigger equipment. Good luck to you man.❤
This is awesome I have lived here in buxton my whole life and have been subscribed to your channel for a while now then I see this so cool you guys were here!
just found your channel yesterday. after about 5 videos, the consistently positive attitude and the sharing of knowledge is really refreshing. skipper and his girl are a welcome addition to my subs and regularly viewing. Keep it up and thank you sincerely.
Yep, same thing happened to me long ago, could never understand how these competition club anglers can stand on the same stretch of beach as I would, but they would just pull out one after the other. So one evening I met one of these guys, and he mentioned a couple of interesting things, besides the obvious things like weather, tides, bait and rigs for your target fish etc, he talked about the little things, such as using fluorocarbon for the hook leader line, braid for longer casting, and one thing he stressed above all : Make sure your hooks are super sharp, or buy chemically sharpened hooks.
I've been fishing at Cape Point for nearly 35yrs. You seem like a very nice guy and with your attitude, I'm sure i would have helped you too. It's even better in the Fall. The drum are starting to show back up now as a matter of fact.... Personally i like late Oct early Nov the best.

Great vid. My nephew fishes at Cape point a lot. He has more than one Hatteras Heaver. That is what you need. I go at least once a year to the OBX but have never fished at Cape Point because there are so many people. I've caught a lot of those big drum but I catch them in Pamlico Sound and Neuse river and Pamlico river from a boat. If you don't have a boat there are guides that can really put you on them. July, August, September and even October if it doesnt turn cold too early. Trouble is, you have to throw them back if they are over 27 inches. The slot is 18 to 27. You can keep one. They are excellent table fare. I like to blacken them. Google it. All of your ideas and reasoning were pretty much right. You just need a Hatteras Heaver.
Nice vid! Love throwing heavers. That 15 footer you got prolly wouldnt cast the weight (usually 8-10oz out there) needed to sit and stay on the ground. Most likely didnt really cross anyone's line bc of how close you were casting to shore. I'd say start off with a 12' that is rated an minimal, up to 10 oz. Most cases, it is 8 and bait. Most of mine are rated 6-12 oz for the drum rods. Get a bigger hook 9/10 J. Get a decent conventional reel (usually size 15 for drum). Shorten up that leader to the hook. You'll be bombing em out there in no time! Should have put a small chunk of that bluefish on. Drum love em. Always a good tactic to use what is presently in the water. Tight lines man.
thanks for watching and sharing your knowledge my friend I appreciate all the info. I'm with you, I don't think that 15 footer could have helped me much lol
There is a casting technique called "Hatteras Cast" on conventional/baitcasting reel and it was originated from there. I found using the "off the ground cast" is much easier to send out your payload but fishing a crowded place like that "Hatteras Cast" might be better.
Yea i was in va beacj last year. If you ever go to the pier there theres a short loud guy named frank you cant miss him. Great dude and hes one of those that catched big fish after big fish, at the end of the pier we had a good 10 rods out and like you said just the same 4 people were cstchimg while everyone else including myself was watching. I even bought an open face penn and a 12 ft rod but never managed to land me a fish on that rod at all even with help from the local friends i made, location location location, the bait spot placement is everything
Hey Skipper, I used this modified fish finder rig here at Onslow Beach, NC and caught 8 slot reds out of the surf in one day. Thanks for the fishing tips. 👍
@@simplytrolling6869 surf rod is a general term heaver is a 12-15ft rod with a casting reel, casts way further, its still a surf rod though, I live in. nc as well
@ Dillon Buhl gotcha... 👍 it’s crazy how easily you can learn something about things you think you are so familiar with. I would have been lost as hell if someone went to talking about their heaver on the beach had I not stumbled across this comment section... hopefully you been catching some fish out your way... finally starting to heat up around here.
Benny Boy I believe the term heaver is a term that only obx locals use that’s what they call them down there.i went down to obx 2 months ago and fishing absolutely sucked I’m going again October hopefully to get on some reds.I might actually gonna get a heaver myself.down here In va we go striped bass and large mouth so I fish those to pass time.what about you? You catching anything
Hey SS.BURKE NC.native here.Sandhills.it's been years ago but I suggest booking a cabin( quite a wait these days ,so get to it now!) OKRACOKE!....Oct.Nov..same sticks & reels .plus some inshore gear for doormat flounder .lob a small mullet minnow behind the breakers w as small of a barrel weight as conditions will allow & walk with it.keep line right but don't drag it. You want line angel around 10-11 o'clock from your body.if it's to woods or
It looks like you're down at the point. You definitely need a hatters heaver, bigger hooks, and mono line. Then watch, learn and get in the conga line. Great video by the way.
I know this reply is late, but for me NO day on the beach or anywhere in saltwater is ruined as long as I catch at least one Bluefish of ANY size! Thanks for the post Skipper!!
Yes sometimes we feel like that but you right next time is gonna be more smarter and wiser 😉 don't stop, nobody born learned my friend, thanks for share your knowledge brother
Another awesome video, that's why I sub'ed. Now you are at my stomping grounds...This is where I was taught by my Dad to surf fish....WELCOME... glad you came!
That Old G. Loomis is the as the one I bought judging by the wiggle in yours it's a MF Action 10' 6". Mine is a spinning HF Action 10' 6" Gary loomis from mid 2000s. I married it to a Shimano THUNNUS 1600f Bait Runner. I have never broken either one or had too send for repairs. 14 years old I fish northern California coast line rocks, Rocky outcrops and 40ft bluffs.
It took me years to learn to cast like that, lots of time with just a weight on the line. And lots of cut it all off birds nests. Cheapest set up that's good is diawa sealine x 30 sha and like a 12' Penn prevail. That's a good starting rig, after that its all about the pendulum cast and practice. You'll be in there in no time. Also no braid just mono 17-20 lbs and a 50 lbs shock leader. Hope this helps you out
Virginia beach was a new spot for me because i live way north and it takes me 14h driving to get to virginia beach. So like you i had to observe how the local in virginia beach were doing.. i had my fresh water lake gears and was catching nothing until a couple of old local guys at virginia beach told me what bait to use.. now all i need is to find the gears so that next time i visit virginia beach i will be able to catch something bigger. In other words, i was like you when you tried north carolina hateras. I went to cap hateras a couple of times but not for fishing. Because travel by car, and we are fully loaded with camping gear, i can not bring a too long rod, 9-10 feet is pretty much the longest i can carry. As for the way you hook the sinker.. i too will have to learn how you do that. But until then i will still need to,practice with my smaller gears 9 foot rod with 4000 reel. And 15 mono line. 2 oz sinker, H
Awesome vid. I love that place and that was not actually crowded.its worse in the fall. When you go back. Stop in at Hatteras Jack's in rodanthe and look at his custom built century's and knobby mag reels.
Senko Skipper when you can't fit anymore people in there and you are shoulder to shoulder two rows deep that is crowded. It only gets like that if the bit gets really hot. as far as a 4wd goes All you need is a old Jeep Cherokee on a small lift and all terrain tires or Ford bronco and you will have no problems getting anywhere on the national seashore. Also another place you should try is the inlet on the south end in Hatteras village. That is a good place for red and black drum and flounder as well as many other fish species. Have you ever fished at any other beaches in NC?
Use Bunker heads if you can find it down there. Tica makes a good starting Heaver. I had one and loved it. I have a Diawa now with a Sealine reel. Good luck. I'm in Stuarts Draft Virginia
I'll be going to Avon, NC in two weeks for two weeks. I have probably spent over a year of my life there and have never fished the point. Your chances of catching a large drum are much better there than other places on the island but I like to relax when I fish and that wouldn't be possible surrounded by so many people.
I had two 12 footers for almost 20 years. I never put anything on it more than 2 ounces. You said 8 OUNCES?! WOW! ok gonna try that. I do sling the 2 ounce pretty good though.
I subscribed when you guys are about 2k subscriber. It was the time you do just fresh water fishing. But you go on the right way to attract more people. Saltwater fishing is super interesting. Thank you so much for making great video.
Thanks for commenting David! We hope a special place in our hearts for original subscribers. Haha can’t believe you remember all the freshwater days! 😂😂
So glad to see you in NC! If you happen to head to the mainland towards Morehead City or Atlantic beach (not too far from Hatteras), Id love to show you some of my favorite places to fish!
I have a Seigler SM bait caster an open cage not a level wind that I use here in Florida a 12ft rod 20lb mono 40lb mono shock leader I can cast much further with this set up than spinning outfits plus a baitcaster gives you much more battle control over the brutes. It takes practice using this type of reel but once you do it will be your favorite. You can start with a level wind but it limits your distance cast and if a Tarpon is on the level wind can not keep up with the spooling and many fish are lost due to backlash .
awesome video. for my sinker i use a grip lead. its really great to use off the surf because it grips on the bottom and releases wen u want to wind the bait in or if u get a big fish on. should have used the bigger rod haha lol
As a general rule for a shock leader 10 lbs test for each ounce of weight. Standard is 8 ounce pyramid sinker at the point so 80 lbs shock leader MINIMUM! And make sure you have enough to wrap around the spool at least 5 or 6 times. I have a lot of fond memories fishing the OBX. Caught a lot of nice fish there and a TON of Hatteras long tailed flounder (skates / rays) too!
I want to start surf fishing some kinda bad. I drove on the beach access on Kure Beach this past spring and after I saw everyone fishing I instantly got interested and wanted to try it myself. I've gotten bored with farm ponds around here
Great video, here in the UK most of our shore fishing is done with long rods 12ft + for casting tips search Jon Holden for rigs and general shore fishing gold search the totally awesome fishing show. Sure allot of the tips and tricks here will cross over. Tight lines!
Do any of them keep the fish? The way they're carrying them by their gills seems super damaging for catch and release esp with the weight of those fish
Hope to get there in September and use my kayak if the breakers aren't too big and fish for Spanish and Kings. However if a red drum happens to hit, that would be just great. I know the reds head into the sound then to spawn but taking one is just for bragging rights since the must be released.
I love that you said it’s a learning process- every time I cast and watch and talk to other anglers I learn. Fish on or skunked it is the always a good day when fishing❤️.

screw that. I fish to get away from people. This actually looks like hell to me.
JMacDBeast exactly. I'd lose my shit.
I agree i hate crowds
Facts
You dammnn rightt! Thats why i dont ever go on charter boats .. i go to were there is the least amount of people possible
yeahh not very comfortable
You are so lucky.to have dad who shares and TEACHES YOU.ALL HIS KNOWLEDGE..YES YOUR BLESSED
I'm gonna try this...but I still suck at beach/surf fishing
don't worry, man you're not the only one here
I’m having trouble as well I’m not landing anything gonna give this rig a try
Hi
Probably casting into the wrong spots is all. Do you read the water colors and waves? Look for openings between the sand bars too.
Try it, it works!!!
I really admire your family. Everyone is into fishing which is really nice. Cool dad. Wish I could fish with my dad but hes long gone. Keep up the good work and before you know, you will have a mil subscribers.

Great. HI. What is a fish finder. I have not seen in South Africa. Please let me know.
Way too many people for me, but great info you provided.
Good job and thanks!
Where in the OBX can you find Tuna Belly? We use it a lot where we normally fish but want to hit the OBX soon.
Yes sometimes we feel like that but you right next time is gonna be more smarter and wiser 😉 don't stop, nobody born learned my friend, thanks for share your knowledge brother
Now that's what I'm talkin about!! It looks like that down here in October!!
Hope you had a good time in NC. Love the outerbanks!
Another awesome video, that's why I sub'ed. Now you are at my stomping grounds...This is where I was taught by my Dad to surf fish....WELCOME... glad you came!
Great job!
The best part is that you learnt something from it!
That Old G. Loomis is the as the one I bought judging by the wiggle in yours it's a MF Action 10' 6". Mine is a spinning HF Action 10' 6" Gary loomis from mid 2000s. I married it to a Shimano THUNNUS 1600f Bait Runner. I have never broken either one or had too send for repairs. 14 years old I fish northern California coast line rocks, Rocky outcrops and 40ft bluffs.
I hope to try some more surf fishing soon!
Realistic Fishing where would you go? Might be able to help with some info.
I’m all about that surf fishing!
Plan a trip 1st -3rd week to nag head and to try for the big drum either on the surf or piers. DM me if you have any questions.
It took me years to learn to cast like that, lots of time with just a weight on the line. And lots of cut it all off birds nests. Cheapest set up that's good is diawa sealine x 30 sha and like a 12' Penn prevail. That's a good starting rig, after that its all about the pendulum cast and practice. You'll be in there in no time. Also no braid just mono 17-20 lbs and a 50 lbs shock leader. Hope this helps you out
why he attach the hook so down near the sinker? ain´t that gona make the bite to be to near the ocean floor?
Virginia beach was a new spot for me because i live way north and it takes me 14h driving to get to virginia beach.

Awesome vid. I love that place and that was not actually crowded.its worse in the fall. When you go back. Stop in at Hatteras Jack's in rodanthe and look at his custom built century's and knobby mag reels.
woah. haha i was thinking of going back but i need a 4wd... did you say that wasn't even crowded? loll
Senko Skipper when you can't fit anymore people in there and you are shoulder to shoulder two rows deep that is crowded. It only gets like that if the bit gets really hot. as far as a 4wd goes All you need is a old Jeep Cherokee on a small lift and all terrain tires or Ford bronco and you will have no problems getting anywhere on the national seashore. Also another place you should try is the inlet on the south end in Hatteras village. That is a good place for red and black drum and flounder as well as many other fish species. Have you ever fished at any other beaches in NC?
Use Bunker heads if you can find it down there. Tica makes a good starting Heaver. I had one and loved it. I have a Diawa now with a Sealine reel. Good luck. I'm in Stuarts Draft Virginia
could you post the size hardware and leader to tie one of those rigs? did you ever make a video for making one of these rigs?
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.
That a very postive attitude i love that
When are you hitting the deep water fishing? What I mean is go for the TUNA or big pilagic fish.
Thanks for the video. So your shock-leader is 40lb, but what is the leader test - is it also made from the same 40lb mono ?
i wanted to say thx for the info on the rig set up. Went out this past weekend and it worked very well for me .Keep up the good work
your video helped me a lot in terms of fishing, so creative and very useful, success is always for you, from Indonesia greetings fishing, thank you
I'll be going to Avon, NC in two weeks for two weeks. I have probably spent over a year of my life there and have never fished the point.

I had two 12 footers for almost 20 years. I never put anything on it more than 2 ounces. You said 8 OUNCES?! WOW! ok gonna try that. I do sling the 2 ounce pretty good though.
always great fishing at Hatteras
Can you use a drone in that area to take the line farther out?
I subscribed when you guys are about 2k subscriber. It was the time you do just fresh water fishing. But you go on the right way to attract more people. Saltwater fishing is super interesting. Thank you so much for making great video.

So glad to see you in NC! If you happen to head to the mainland towards Morehead City or Atlantic beach (not too far from Hatteras), Id love to show you some of my favorite places to fish!
I don't live in north Carolina but fun to watch
Was out there in April catching some monsters. Look into a ocean master they're a great rod at a really good price
Sweet video! I’m dying to get to the beach. Already fished it a few times this time last year.
Everything has been messed up this year man, I feel like we are just now warming up over here. Summer is only beginning!
I have a Seigler SM bait caster an open cage not a level wind that I use here in Florida a 12ft rod 20lb mono 40lb mono shock leader I can cast much further with this set up than spinning outfits plus a baitcaster gives you much more battle control over the brutes. It takes practice using this type of reel but once you do it will be your favorite. You can start with a level wind but it limits your distance cast and if a Tarpon is on the level wind can not keep up with the spooling and many fish are lost due to backlash .
going surf fishing for the first time in Savannah where can I go to drive up on the beach? I got bad knees!
awesome video. for my sinker i use a grip lead. its really great to use off the surf because it grips on the bottom and releases wen u want to wind the bait in or if u get a big fish on. should have used the bigger rod haha lol
How many yards of shock leader should I use? And that's mono line right (the shock leader)
How do you stand do many angler's so close to you, here in the UK we like 10 meters either side
hey do you have any video from Virginia beach
Hey Skipper! thanks for the video
As a general rule for a shock leader 10 lbs test for each ounce of weight. Standard is 8 ounce pyramid sinker at the point so 80 lbs shock leader MINIMUM! And make sure you have enough to wrap around the spool at least 5 or 6 times. I have a lot of fond memories fishing the OBX. Caught a lot of nice fish there and a TON of Hatteras long tailed flounder (skates / rays) too!
Everyone in obx runs 40 to 50lb shock leader no problem
ya i only run 17 to a 50 pound shock
GLAD YOU ENJOYED THE OBX!
Do you keep the line tight like you do with a dropshot rig? Or loose? Do you loosen the reels drag?
What is Ocean City Md like this time of year ?
You should use your drone and drop it .
I want to start surf fishing some kinda bad. I drove on the beach access on Kure Beach this past spring and after I saw everyone fishing I instantly got interested and wanted to try it myself. I've gotten bored with farm ponds around here
Just curious. Have you ever fished for snakehead fish in the DMV?
Awesome video like always guys , off those were some big fish
What is that clip called that you use to attach the lead to your main line and where can I get them?
most people release the fish. what a good concept in their mind..keepitup
Thank you,
@@HeySkipper welcome bro 🙏
Great video, here in the UK most of our shore fishing is done with long rods 12ft + for casting tips search Jon Holden for rigs and general shore fishing gold search the totally awesome fishing show. Sure allot of the tips and tricks here will cross over. Tight lines!
Love you from EGYPT keep going
I live on harker island N.C. so it is pretty close to here
That beach looks so easy to drive on man come here to western Australia and get on some of our beaches
We are getting so excited to go to hatteras!! Thanks so much! Tracy
Good luck down there! Let me know how you do! I can’t wait to hear
Where do you recommend buying the items to make those rigs?
Can you come to Jennettes pier today in NC outer banks? I am an amateur angler and would love some tips and fish to eat!!!
We hit the bull red run in Sept/Oct off Mustang Island, Texas; love it. Do you like those frog tongue sinkers, do they hold as good as spider weights?
what kind of line to use,which one and when?
Kudos to Erin, among the best video production and editing on RUclips. Surf fishing on the OBX; one of my top five life experiences.
Do any of them keep the fish? The way they're carrying them by their gills seems super damaging for catch and release esp with the weight of those fish
Where's all my nc anglers at?!
stuck in Charlotte...
I'm here. I'm at Topsail Beach right now. Gonna hit the surf for the next 2 days! I was at Buxton right at Hatteras a month ago.
From philly but fish obx for a week every year!
Where are you going to a hatteras heaver? Most of them are custom made bass pro offers the ocean master which is a heaver.
What are the conventional reels being used?
What camera you're using to make fishing video @heyskipper ?
Hope to get there in September and use my kayak if the breakers aren't too big and fish for Spanish and Kings. However if a red drum happens to hit, that would be just great. I know the reds head into the sound then to spawn but taking one is just for bragging rights since the must be released.
