Dude releases more keepers in a day than I catch in a month. I might need to go hunt some fiddler 🦀.
We don't know how many days of fishing videos went into what was uploaded.
It’s the kayak bro moving to new docks constantly
Notice nobody else around him he's fishing primo areas by himself with no pressure then comes on to RUclips and makes it look Uber easy
If you can't get any fiddler crab you can always get a soft plastic from savage gear that'll be realistic looking an get some proline attractant spray in creyfish frog an nightcrawler which is awesome to use. It helps attract fish.
Might just be me, that puffer fish catch was the most interesting thing I've seen all year.
Seems like fiddler crabs work pretty damn good.
I believe you can catch fish on bare hooks at this point. Always killing it. Love it man keep it up you’ll be at a million subs in no time!
When I was small we used to fish with these really small red hooks. Then we tried it with out bate we caught bucket full of small fish
A Spoon does just fine
A million?
Long, long ago, when my father would take my brother and me pier fishing in the Galveston area, sheepshead were considered trash fish. That was true of pretty much everything besides specks, reds, and flounder. We might keep the occasional large whiting, but we threw back a lot of good-eating fish. I didn’t find out sheepshead were good to eat until I was a grownup!
Now I go to Galveston pier few times a year but i cant catch sheepshead.

They’re popular now, so may not be as common as they used to be. Also, Elias makes catching any fish look simple!
I hear where you are coming from Dan. Here in Australia, I threw a whole lot of ‘rubbish ‘ fish over the side while in pursuit of more desirable species. 30 years later, I quietly curse myself for those ‘bad’ days of yesteryear when all we caught was ‘rubbish’ and came home empty handed when we had a good feed but poor knowledge. Today, I still love catching the classic edibles, but I don’t mind catching yesteryear’s ‘crap’.
Sheep face are delicious !!!!!!!!!!
When I was a kid, first time ever going to the ocean, my dad took me on a fishing trip. First day was on a smaller boat in the bay and the second and third days would be in the Gulf Stream on his friends big charter boat. Well the first morning at the docks I asked about all the tiny crabs handing around amd if fish would eat them. The guide said fish would eat them and if I caught one then he would let me use it for bait. My eyes lit up. I went to WORK. I found a net on a boat and asked to borrow it. I chased those crabs everywhere. 😂 I ended up catching a couple dozen and we had the best day catching those sheepshead fish.
Times like theses are priceless
That's what I call a good day,no crowds,no waves,
Now this is fishing! Looks like he had a ball
Here in the Florida Panhandle we use Fiddlers all the time throwing them on a small hook and no sinker and letting them drift under the docks. Almost always produces red fish and sheepshead it’s a great time on light tackle. I prefer them over mud crabs
Looked like a pretty decent day on the water. You caught some nice eating size fish and it looked like a couple gave you a pretty good tussel ta boot. Good fishing Eli
My dad was a captain and I grew up at a marina fishing for sheepshead. The best crabs to use are those little black ones that hang on the pilings. We would freeline a crab on a #2 gold hook. Those sheepshead just can't ignore a crab.
I love how he’s like these reds are so abundant then dang a nice flounder I’m lucky to catch a damn sand trout or a croaker when i go to the gulf lmao
Sweet set up with the kayak. Do yo have any videos were you go over the kayak set up? In particular the motor set up.
Love flounder. Salt, pepper, dusted with cornmeal and fried. Can only get them a couple months in the fall here.
Elias, reminds me of yesterday's Crappie massacre. Stay safe from Pennsylvania. Prayers sent for Meg,Elias. God bless
That was cool to see the puffer fish like that.
Down here in Florida my preferred bait was fiddlers because they caught sheepshead, red and black drum and a host of other fish in the rocks and around bridge pilings
stuck up in boston with crappy weather, keep the vids coming lol
Chris, come down the cape, I fished in this crappy weather today and caught a keeper striper! 😊
Killer day of fishing!! I wish I could do that good in Charleston.
That's an excellent start
Enjoyed that. Good days fishing. Thanks for bringing us along. Closing in on 100K! Keep it up Elias.
Nikko makes a nice little 1" crab. They hold up really well and work well for me. Would like to see them tried out.
I’m not a fisher I just like ur vids and it’s crazy how u are such a great fisher and u still take everything as a learning experience man awesome vids
Super cool video. You make catching look easy. 😂🎣📹
I remember there were loads of fiddler crabs in Gerritsen creek marsh off of Avenue U in Brooklyn
I am down at North Topsail island all this week and can’t get nothing much to bite. Shrimp on the bottom Croakers and pin fish. Had one good Speckled trout on the dock I lost cause I didn’t use the net on. Been real slow and can’t put any kind of pattern together. Not giving up and have my Kayaks with me. Tight lines Brother.
I love puffer fish, LOL
I did too before one of them bit little girls finger off.
Coolest looking quill back in my opinion
I am not sure if I've ever seen him keep a red? Great tasting fish.
The key to catching sheepshead is to set the hook just before the bite 🤪
You are exstraordinary fishing👍
Love jigging world rods
If you gonna throw the fish back would like to see it treated a bit better, like the one you leverage your pliers on its eye to get the hook out was a bit meh. Ah well maybe im just to sentimental, I would probably put some soft mat on the floor as well so they damage themselves less. But great footage you inspire me to go out and get a kano to fish myself, greetings from the Netherlands.
Those little guys play the fiddle? ...Awesome.
Those Redfish fight so hard!
To cook a fish is a great honor
Hi Elias ....thanks for all your great fishing videos! Nice to see a real good fisherman out there doing his thing !
Don’t know if you’re familiar with Skin so Soft ...it’s works really well regarding those pesky “ no see ums”.....
I bought a whole bunch of those bottom sweeper jigs a few months ago, gonna take some tips from ya so I can hopefully snag some sheepshead in the future!
That’s a good way to spend some time on the water. Multiple species days are always a good time. I’m looking forward for some cool weather cause it’s still pretty warm here in Louisiana
Gotta be tough catching quality flounder and not being able to take it home. Nice job out there
Elias the dock slayer. Sheephead fishing so much fun and technical. Love to chum it up and fish the natural bait. Best pound for pound fight In tight spots.
A couple fish you caught two redfish and Sheepshead and a flounder I don't caught that all month
Nice setup
The only problem with fiddlers is that pinfish can destroy them. Not as good as muds, but damn close. Ive caught big black drum on tiny little fids.
Beautiful red fish that first one was beautiful
Good job on fishing 🎣
Literally just cracked a beer and sat down for the elias video after work. Cheers 🍻 and thank you sir!
Got that RUclips drag goin lol you always kill it though.
I laughed so hard at the pufferfish
Dude you were killin it... nice yak !!
Great video
Great channel and I personally Love using fiddlers at the causeways for the sheepies!
Great way to catch flounder
Great vid
I use vudu shrimp . Great lures !
Elias I was looking at getting into kayak fishing and was wondering if you could recommend a good kayak in the $500 range. I’m a big guy (250lb) and would really appreciate your expert opinion. Thanks:)
Used pelican sit on top
Good stuff thanks. If Fiddlers aren't your favorite sheep bait, what is?
Great video, when can we expect the Elias V Jigging World spinning rod? Great work out there 👍
Damn, this is amazing! Fiddler crabs eh? How you keep them alive for more than two days?? Also, why you said its not prefer bait when most fish like snapper, sea bass even delicious sheephead take them?
The black stripey fish look like they have plenty of meat on them. I'd be tempted to take one home for my supper... as long as they're not too boney!
Wow. You pulled out a big piece of meat first. I caught really big fish using crab and shrimp. I'm getting refreshed after watching a fun and good video today. This is a video of vicarious satisfaction. Fighting! 👍👍
Love the sound off the drag going off specially when albacore fishing. Great video
Black drums look like west cost spot fin Crocker we also got a yellow fin Crocker
Can you show us your kayak setup? I’m interested in the trolling motor specifically. Thanks
So great to see how that Old Town with the Spot lock is working for you! I think the 14 to 18 sheep are ideal. I generally want to let go any that are over 22 inches because they are the old breeders, right?
That’s right, they live as long as drum even.
Where was this at? The fish was great
@@darrencallahan1384 you honestly think he's going to answer that question
NICE video. This was very informative
Nice! Especially that Puffer fish! Where were you fishing?
Man All I could think about was you getting stuck in the foot with those Fins. I’ve been stuck a few times in the hand while catching them on the boat and it can hurt like hell. Great job either way though. Tight lines
free bait is good bait lol
I miss living in Wilmington NC. 1 spot you can catch 5 different species not even moving to a new spot. Things are much different here in So Maryland fishing wise you have to bounce around and still maybe catch just 3 species
Elias , try some ghost crabs , see if they work . I never see anyone use them.
How do you get a bucket full of them? I've never been able to get more than a handful.
@@EliasVFishing go to the beach at night , and scoop them up. The big ones come out after dark . I am in WV so I only get to go to the ocean every couple of years , I am living threw you . Good luck.
@@lloydlocke4763 Thanks - my attempts have not resulted enough crabs for a day of fishing. I'll take a look again.
Please put your kayak make & model in the description. Looks like a nice one.
This is like the fifth time he's been asked this question its obvious he's not interested in showing or describing his rig
Cool video
Cool video. How well do you like that rod? You are throwing really light for its specs. I love the look of it. Its currently unavailable
Good bait
i’m 14, i remember when i was 13 i have a beach house in south padre island on the fingers, i was fishing on a little island of sand and i used a fiddler crab, caught my 2nd snook ever such an under rated bait
Lets go I live at padre island great fishing here
used em all the time on the Galveston docks, lots of sheephead loved them.
Love seeing you beat those docks up in that area. Have you heard anything about the flounder numbers or anything from the state? From this past season. Seemed the sizes where better
Man I can't believe he caught a flounder with a fiddler crab.
Nice fishing brother.
What wakes at the top at around 3:00-3:-05 wen u pulled in it pulled out
Great Vid Man
Love them voodoo shrimps they slay in the fall and winter for trout and drum. I used one all winter last year slaying trout now if i could just find the natural color ones around somewhere we would be solid this fall in the back waters
Which crabs do you prefer over fiddlers?
I think they're one of the better baits available for sheeps. I like the little shore crabs that live around oysters too, I think they're Asian crabs.
Chicken of the Sea!
So what's your Real take on the Fiddler Crabs?? LOL 😜
Elias... there you are bad mouthing mr flounder for eating your crabs and I'd love to catch Flounder. Haven't had a chance to get into those down here yet. I guess we got Flounder here in SWFL.
I just subscribed to your channel. Question, where do you fish at, like what state? I'm from Jersey.
Awesome content!!!! Keep it Up!!!
candy with legs!! great video man as always
My go to method for Tog in Connecticut, jigs and crabs along the pilings and docks except I use Asian Crabs
Tides - fishing docks or inshore drop offs / rocks What times do you like to fish?
Great video!Where are you?
Nice lure😨👍
What jighead weight you reccomend for surf and jetties?
Eldest cideo
Mantap sekali sambarannya pakai umpan kepiting
I wish I could catch some fish like that haven't caught a sheephead all year I believe my area is fished out
Do you notice any knocking or clicking noise while retrieving under a slight lid on your spin fisher? Just bought one and it is doing it after 1 use
Not on mine
Hey Elias, I live in the area as well and wanted to know what you look for when you’re fishing docks for sheepshead and drum? Do you prefer docks closer to inlets? Awesome video by the way.
The biggest and most structurally complex docks will always be the best.
