Thanks to this channel, this bass fisherman from Nebraska was able to go to the pier in Myrtle Beach this week and fish with confidence. I also went surf fishing for the first time today! I caught a small shark, black drum and croaker. Thank you! Love the channel.
Congratulations on your catches, sounds like you had a great day! We are happy to have been a small part of it
I feel you, I just started fishing and feel intimidated by other experienced fishermen. I went to the pier last Sunday and it ended in total failure. I put my line on wrong and my reel got tangled. It took a while but I was able to finally figure it out.
I practically lived on that jetty, from 1985 to 1992. I've caught everything from snook to shark. Bluefish to redfish. My best catch was a 23 lbs triple tail. Got in the newspaper for that
what pier is this?
@@yo_sp33d34 Sebastian inlet
I caught a 600 lbs Goliath grouper off of the skyway pier in central Florida 2 years ago by far the best fish of my life. Love your content man keep up the good work and hope to fish with you one day.
How did you manage to bring it up? Or did you drag it back to shore?
Is that your dad? He's right. That's not what fishing is about. If I see a fellow Fishermen needing help or needs me to move if hes on. Then I'm gonna move or reel mine in. Do whatever I gotta do to help. Love your vids by the way.
Courtesy goes a long way ! 👍
Very nice fishing
Thanks for saying this. I completely agree. Help a guy out. Sheesh.
Returning favors... u dont, i wont either!!!
The locals there didn’t seem too happy to see new faces. A few of them helped but it looked like they wanted you all gone.
I didn’t know that about dropping fish from high piers either. I’ve never fished from a pier that high but if I ever do, now I know to lower them down. I learn something new from you guys all the time. Thumbs up guys.
Except Dad chucked that 26" snook straight off the cliff lol.
Here’s a tip I learned the hard way. Don’t use your teeth to cut the line. When you break your tooth or crack it, the dentist will fuss at you as he is prepping his/your bill. Always use clippers of some sort. ;-)
I love when you talking to your dad. My dad got me into fishing. My dad is gone. I wish he could continue to teach me. Soak up the wisdom and thanks for sharing.
Yeah it’s great to enjoy your kid to fish with but to have your dad is the greatest thing to do with you would always remember it . God bless enjoy it while you can.hope you catch the big fish 🐠
Wow they could of moved out the way or at least help your dad. Fishing is about having fun!! Congrats on that snook.. keep the videos coming
Opinions ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)
And when its their turn, i wont be movin either.. or someone gonna get thrown off...
Atleast they didn't steal his gear, which is a huge problem there
Jack’s
Fished with my dad growing up... now have my husband and son into it...BUT I don't know enough...this channel has helped SO MUCH!
Miss my pops! Carolina rig were I come from! Tip... add a plastic bead between swivel and football sinker! Protects the knot....
I'm sorry for you
Hahaha that old man walked away with that grouper to make gumbo soup! You thought he was putting back in the water when in reality it went straight to the ice chest hahahaha!
I have been lucky with all the locals we fish with. Crab snaring to be exact. They have taught me most everything I know about the sport. They are happy to share their secrets with a stranger and always happy to help out.
I love what you folk are doing in educating people about fishing AND being responsible with plastic rubbish. Too many birds, turtles and fish die because of our rubbish/trash.
That pier is always so crowded. Usually shoulder to shoulder. I can't deal with that so I go up to the bridge and fish for Whiting.
Papa is the old man of the sea!!! Great fisherman!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
You had me at pick your shit up :) watched a good few of your vids and I've learned a lot so thank you guys. Haven't caught a single fish, but I'm really confident that the 3rd time I use my 10" Shakespeare firebird that I can catch something good. Respect to my teachers. Keep up the great work. Thank you again for the advise on rigs, bait and perspectives from different places. Ill be pier and river fishing as I live on the mouth of the river Tyne in Newcastle England. You've helped a great deal and inspired me a lot. Really pumped and excited to see what my first catch will be
Great video👍🏻 very informative. Like how you have a humane outlook on fishing and the way to preserve fishing and to treat the fish
Thanks for the info on live bait fishing. I haven't done so from a pier in many yrs. Back in the day we did it with a tiny twist different AND called our rig a Float Rig.
Ive started watching your videos to learn. This is what Ive noticed so far- I really like how other people help one another and you all appear to enjoy one another's successes.
Very true about the pyramid sinker. I haven't been fishing since I was 14 and I'm now 22 and went pier fishing today with my new setup I got a 14 foot long pole with a 6 oz pyramid sinker on it and I lost it first cast. Lesson learn, will use bead sinkers for now on!
im 48 and been fishing my whole life.i know how to fish but this video was so educational.
Love the trash pick up. I do the same thing! Thank you guys for helping fight the litter bugs. Many love the ocean. Lets all take care of her
Hi Erin I totally agree with you on the trash alot of our fishing spots have been closed because people don't pick up their trash so good advise to all the people. Keep up the great videos and God bless.
Heading to Fort Myers this Fall going to try some shore and pier fishing for the first time. Thanks for all your knowledge
I’ve gone there several times with my brother. Love the place. We caught several jacks and red fish.
The highlight for me was the smile on papas face!
That’s the rig we use for sheepshead and black drum but for snook just a long leader and a big split shot RUclipsr Joey Antonelli was there I seen him in the back, he would have helped one of the best fishermen and regulars that fish Sebastian inlet
I've fished many a pier in southern California, and unless a Game Warden was standing on the pier they would keep any thing, no matter if it wasn't "legal" sized. As for that fish that was just dropped, even if it does not survive, it will not go to wast. Something will eat it, and the circle of life goes on. Those waves at that pier are pretty wild, never seen any thing like it.
I almost had a stroke when that dude chucked that massive snook over the railing! Thank You, for mentioning that and picking up plastic as well!! Great Video!
We call it a slip sinker rig up here. That's the main rig that I use for river fishing big cats. You could also use a wolf river rig/ three way rig with a heavy pencil sinker. It will almost eliminate snags.
Woah that is a good suggestion to go with a pencil sinker. I haven’t tried one
Destin, Florida is great for deep sea fishing. Panama City, Florida is good for pier fishing at Pier park
I haven't fished a pier in 20+ years. I'd rather surf fish any day. Piers can get too crowded and rude people in the mix don't help matters. Good video.
That pier looks solid. The ones in Hatteras are shifty, as in ,the wind which comes howling out of the north or south blows the pier that way. Crappy experience if it happens to you at night with big sharks just below you. Anyways it was real bro, probably run into you along the AO coastline this year.
Put a bead above that swivel and it’ll keep the lead from jamming on top of your swivel during casting
Sebastian inlet my favorite spot. You can hook up on big grouper as well
Really glad you are informing people on how to properly release fish. Great channel.
Beautiful Fishing Fisherman!:) *CONGRATULATIONS*
👍🎣🐠🐟
I went there so many times and l caught a lot of fish but l got snagged a lot. Sebastian is the best place for pier offshore fishing.
glad you took the critism well. we all learn one way or another. all good bro.
Good job, keep making them videos and thanks for sharing your locations.Most of these other guys are D when you ask for a location.
It's very honorable and sporting that you are using a large bridge net to lift fish instead of using a large treble hook on a rope... You a are true sportsmen and very humane... And to be redundant all your presentations and videos are the best....Sy
Watching from south africa(durban)...the fishing is amazing here...please come try here..tight lines👍
hi Erin i love what your doing, i hate to say it but you know what even though you see plastic over there you should visit Chile, over here people are just now becoming a bit aware of the pollution they are creating, but there is still a long way to go, if you visit some of the shores over here you will find everything from beer cans to fishing lines, plastic bags and other trash
Use mono line at Sebastian Inlet bc that braid can easily fray on those rocks
Yup we were using 50 pound most of the week there. Good tip.
I love the sebastian inlet
I’m glad you guys said something about the trash ! Always pick mine and others people just because I hate to see that and knowing that gonna end in the ocean with the fish
Good on you man. That’s how we can help our oceans
I have been trying to learn how to saltwater fish for several years now I grew up in freshwater I love going to Fort McAllister in Georgia outside of Richmond hill Georgia I would love to see y’all go there and show me how to do it right
Now that looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for posting.
Awesome Video Skipper man! Couple of points: In addition to 28-32 inches, Snook in Florida can only be kept during open Snook season (Feb-May & Sept.-Dec.). You also need a "Snook Stamp" on your fishing license which is extra cash. Tell Erin that the reason for the plastic on the prier is that people in Florida are pigs. I've been an environmental engineer in Florida for 28 years and have encountered garbage in places you would not believe. I'm from the Ft. Lauderdale area but the Sebastian inlet is my favorite Florida inlet. I've seen dudes there pull up giant Redfish bigger than a truck. Love your tackle lessons. keep up the good work. Keep it Reel!
Kayak Engineer agree to your comment about the trash. My husband and I are natives here and it's such a shame that people can't appreciate our outdoors enough to throw their trash away correctly!
You do not need a snook stamp if you are fishing recreationally from a pier that has a valid saltwater pier fishing license, you don't even need a fishing license. It's why they charge you different rates to go on the pier for being an observer or if you are fishing.
Erin here. Sad to hear that there are so many people who don’t think about trash! It’s good that you guys are making a difference in your areas and helping to keep them clean! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and commenting
Our beaches in the Chesapeake bay are continuously being closed after heavy rains because of dog feces! I never leave the beach without a bag full of plastic and rubbish. The tourist in Va beach aren't told about the flesh eating bacteria in Rudee inlet. It's tough all over. Nice fishing video Senko Skipper. Also, I'm from Orlando and not all the fishermen are bad. TIGHT LINES!!!
John Burgess thanks for the heads up. I didnt know about the snook stamp not being required for pier fishing. Appreciate the feedback. Happy reeling!
Good job! And you followed the fishing measurement laws! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A Snag-less weight tied to the main line ,then a dead man rig is a good option for rocky bottom and heavy crowds on a pier It keeps the bait suspended in the proper strike zone and you wont have to worry about crossing lines on a busy pier. The big snook is hammer head food ooops
Is that at the Sebastian Inlet? If it is, people catches big fish there. My brother in law was able to catch a snook and good size snapper.
Hi skipper thank you so much about your 🧂betting my daughter and I will can't go wrong even with fresh water. Brian Slough U.k.
I hear you I was in alantic city and trash was all over..... unfortunately I didn't catch anything caught last bit of tide going out my cousin caught baby black sea bass and a sea robin..... me 0 nothing....but I left with a big bag of trash ....and there was tons more also looked like a guy living in the woods there too
Great video Bubba! And you are correct about those who chase the big fish putting in their time. It takes lots of trial and error to get good at consistently landing big fish.
It’s taken me roughly 12 years to figure out how to catch big fish in the surf.
PS-A great rig to try if fishing over an area with looks of rocks/snags is a lemon rig or a modified slip bobber rig. On the modified slip bobber rig I make my “bobbers” out of pool noodles.
That allows you to cruise the live bait right tight over them rocks without having to worry about getting snagged or broke off by a big fish.
I screen shotted this comment. Great advice. I want to learn about this rig and check it out now.
Senko Skipper, no problem. Those rigs were thought to me by a couple of old salty locals here in Texas.
I’m glad to share them with other folks who enjoy the same passion.
My favorite RUclipsr by FAR
Carolina rig but you wanna put a plastic bead between sinker and swivel to protect your knot. Never hook live shrimp thru head either it kills em . Not trying to be a know it all lol. Awesome vid man
Thanks for sharing your knowledge my man! That’s what the channel is all about.
I should add the live mullet work pretty well also for most things and that doesn't count the roe mullet they don't live long in the water either especially on a hook when they look wounded .
God bless all of you and your family and God bless all you who are struggling and homeless like myself due to covid-19 19
Sebastian inlet is where it’s at for sure
Sabashton inlet next to w. Palm beach, great place to fish with live bait such as finger mullet, or lady fish, and hold on ,giant fish swimming through
Lol. I practice not getting fish all the time! Every other week (or 3 lol ) catch some really goodsize fish here in Fort Lauderdale
😂 part of the fishing game
I tried over at the dania pier today I wasn't seeing anything being caught but small 4,5 inchers. I also didnt catch anything today but I haven't been fishing since I was 14 and I'm now 22 so wasn't sure what I was doing lol. Only went for 2 hours also.
@@zoltanember6155 dania is pretty good. i been fishing for a lil over a month and thats like my go to spot, and in miami/broward you think are good? I didnt like deerfield too much honestly
Thank you for your sharing your experience
Congrats to your dad in his first snook. Too bad he lost that pompapno. They are delicious. That was a huge snook. Those grouper have pretty markings. Imagine what it would be like to catch it's mamma.
Crazy man. It would be crazy.
I enjoy your videos, and the idea that your family fishes together, is awesome, I am the only fisherman in my family so I am truly happy to see your family with you, keep up the good work!
Pompano is my favorite fish hands down... Anyone will enjoy it. (Cooked right)
You always teach proper etiquette and technique. Cudos for that. I am somewhat new to youtube and your channel (great stuff) but have been an avid fisherman since your dad was a boy. Have you mentioned the importance of using bronze or steel (not stainless) hooks? Important information: If you cannot remove the hook without harming the fish for a safe release, cut the line as close to the hook as possible. Bronze and steel hooks will disolve in the salt water without serious harm to the fish. Stainless steel wil not.really like your videos.
When I go fishing to my local pier I use 2 1/2 oz bullet weights and I use soft plastic swimbaits and soft plastic worms 👍💯
if you ever in the sf bay area link up I got a few spots sturgeon, halibut, striper, and others
This is helpful for when I go back to the Ponce Inlet
I noticed that you hook the live shrimp by the head. This kills the shrimp. In the philippines we hook the shrimp very near the tail. It not only not kills the shrimp faster but it also allows the shrimp to swim around
He said to avoid the dark head area which indicates the brain.
Very good presentation and message for all!
Used to get sheepshead in new york many years ago..
Very Nice 👍 thanks for show us. Your experience at the pier
You guys never disappoint! Always have such great videos! Big thumbs up for poppa on his first Florida snook! And also thank you Erin for pointing out the trash situation! My wife and I fish there often and bless her heart I feel awful sometimes because she does the same thing and spends half her time cleaning up after the morons that don't realize it's not so much an issue for the anglers as it is for the sea life! Keep cranking them out guys! We'll keep watching and learning!
Father son fishing at its best!
Nice on the snook the slot is 28 to 33 try to use a pinfish or a pilchard or even a small ladyfish to get a big snook try to freeline them
Plan to go down to FL one day and yes will new your 'To know How" thing ..
Beautiful beautiful fish I love fishing with my dad and just having fun and enjoying are selfies
It seems to me that every pier I fish it is always the locals at the end that treat you like crap and won't move but expect you to get out of their way!! Total bollocks!!
The locals act like that because unskilled tourists come out to the end, and screw everything up.
@@jaddy540 spot on.
some dickhead tried to do that to me and guess what, i have lived here over 20 years and have fished here all my life so they can fuck off cause ive got more experience in my fingernail than they got in their entire bodies basically.
Some people are morons.
@@jaddy540 so you don't think some of the folks fishing are a little over aggressive at times? I agree it gets way too crowded and people get in the way. It seems when a fish is hung into, people come running to drop a line and some don't know alot about what to do if they did hookup, so I kinda agree on that but there seems to also be a lack of etiquette on piers. Many are pretty cool that I have fished with but I have seen some kids knocking people around, slamming fish down hard on those steel grates and keeping snook out of the water too long and throwing 25 plus fish back without a net. I have seen too many snook floating along on their side dying. People get crazy when a few good fish are caught, just saying.
@@billwall2764 why do they fish them if they dont even keep them? that is illegal.
i always throw all my trash in my cooler and dump it in my house... i cant stand finding trash all over the pier
Completely agree I try to pick up any trash I see on the pier or on the beach when surf fishing
Me 2 !!!!
That's why I haven't been to the Dunlawton pier in Port Orange, Fl. in over 4-years.
Dirty Smelly and Lo-Lifes.
World need more people like you.
Finally your back lol please keep the pier videos coming ✊🏾 ps I speak for the people so we want to know when the wedding is 😊
Beautiful! Thank you! Excellent advice. The content of your post are to instruct and thats exactly what you do, please stay on track on do not stray from your content.
Your dad is 100% correct . I help people land their fish if it's big.
Do a video on fish lures that you can use in both fresh and saltwater
I always bring two or three shopping bags out with me. One for my trash and two for the garbage I find. In the woods, beach, where ever. It sucks
When the west coast Naples pier opens can you try to do a video there......awesome job.....
Great show very helpful
in Panama, we call them Robalo... nice
Great video thanks for the info
Hey senko skipper I went fishing and I caught 3 catfishes are you proud of me and I did this on 3/14/18
Joe Li the goal is not to catch them lol
Proud of you buddy👍 did you keep or throw back? Good job
I threw them back because my uncle told me they stink and they’re slimy when you catch them
Nice fishing with those waves Poppa Senko
Man! That Goliath grouper was beautiful, thanks for sharing. God Bless
Wowww awesome back at it again bro love the snook ur dad caught ! Keep being an inspiration to us bro both u and Erin love you all from Trinidad 🇹🇹
"Well ya know, It's a classic thing ya know" 🤣

Thanks for watching my man 👍🏼
Thanks for the tips went fishing yesterday while I was in Biloxi at some kinda old docking area and caught a almost legal red fish
Wait your in Sebastian I'm in Vero Beach that's cool
Did anyone else hear that fish landing on the rocks? 7:45
Aquarium Adventurers lol it sounds like it😂 but I’m pretty sure that it just smacked the water sideways
I’m weak
Hey skipper, your videos and it's informations more useful.
I have to comment to get you off of the devil's number lol thanks for all the info!!
