Try walking down the beach a bit and find a spot where the water gets deep. I know a storm blew threw the Duck area a while back and washed out the trough, but there are still a few deep holes out there. You also might want to try a smaller sized hook on your bottom rigs. Tight lines and thanks for tuning in!

Thanks so much for tuning in! I'm 99% sure I used 1" pvc with a 3/4" dowel rod. Mine are still doing fine after 3 years, however I do like to change the noodles because they dry out and soak in water after about 2 years.

Thank you for the info!

Thanks for tuning in! It is a PVC rod holder that I bought at the tackle shop. they have a spike on one end and a smooth lip on the other. They also have a metal bar to keep your pole from sliding to far down. They are so cheap its not worth making your own. Tight lines !

Great work Cannon! It was so great seeing you and your buddies at the beach! Keep up the great work and good luck fishing and wrestling this year! Tight lines buddy!

My smaller rod is a 7 foot medium heavy ugly stik, and the long rod was 11' old rod from the 1980's. Honestly, the big fish in the summer time are mostly blues and Spanish Mackerel. I use my 7 foot rod with a braided 20 lb line and a 20 lb mono leader. I cast a 1.5 oz Clark Casting spoon. If the wind is blowing from the east or Northeast they should be close enough to shore to catch. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! I appreciate the support! Tight lines!

Thanks so much! I appreciate the support! Tight lines out there!

@@HicksHooks Thanks for sharing your experiences! I primarily fish hybrids and striped bass in Lake Norman(Charlotte). Been wanting to go try pompano fishing out there or even Myrtle. Not sure when and where to start. Watching lots of videos to learn. I think pompanos are making their way up now?

@@Unplugged704 I love fishing for Stripers as well. I've always heard August and September are usually best for Pompano, but I've read reports of them being caught South of Oregon Inlet recently. Tight Lines and good luck on the Pompano. Fingers crossed I can muster one up myself in the near future!

Interesting thought! It hasn't happened to me yet! Tight lines and thanks for tuning in!

That can also be true for anything that gets wet. Water doesn't conduct electricity. The minerals in the water will.

@@mattdg1981 I appreciate the info!

I have found that a 7' medium heavy action Ugly Stik works great for fishing the trough and throwing heavier spoons. It is sensitive enough to feel the smallest fishing pecking at your line, and strong enough to pull in a 10-20 pound fish. Good luck and let me know how you do! Tight Lines!

I appreciate the support sir! Keep your hooks sharp! 😂😂

Thanks for tuning in! Tight lines, and let me know how you do!

That's great to hear! Be sure to check in with the local bait shops! They usually point you in the right direction, and let me know how you do! Tight Lines!

It actually does a great job! However, if you really crank on them hard, or leave them out in the elements all year, they will be compromised. Thanks so much for your insight, and tuning in. I'm always looking for ways to improve my canoeing experience. Tight lines!

@@HicksHooks I’m not the greatest of all and don’t know it all and if you say they good , they good ! 👍🏻

If there is a hatch on the horizon, I'd buy one just in case. One of my fishing buddies said he got a nice carp on a cicada fly. It's always worth a shot. Tight lines!

Hahaha!! Lol! You know there is always someone that wants to one up you on the river! Tight lines man! Weather is looking solid!

That's what I'm saying! I'm hoping that water is good for this eclipse coming up on Monday.

Awesome! Good luck out there! If you see me out there, feel free to pull up and chat! Tight lines! The bite picked up a bit for me yesterday.

That's not a bad replacement! Haha! It's always great to hear from you! Good luck out there!

Same thing here! We went out five days later and temps dropped below 49 degrees. We managed to land a few, but the bite was super slow. Tight lines! Might have to sneak down to the Rap one day this season!

Thanks for the support Boys!! I hope to get a chance to fish with you guys again in the future! Tight Lines! Be Good!

Thanks for watching Peter! Tight lines buddy!

Great question! I usually prefer to use 12-15 pound mono on my 7 ft surf rod. Last time I was out, I had one rod with mono and one with braid. I feel like the braid got more caught up in the tide and wind, whereas my mono stayed tighter to the bottom rig and was able to cut through more of the wind and the tide. I would recommend stopping into one of the local bait shops when you get there, and have them string up your reel. It's usually a little cheaper or about the same price as buying online. Tight lines and thanks for tuning in!

@HicksHooks hi thank you so much for your response , and will follow your advice

Sorry Jrod... I don't know how much of the video you actually watched, but I mentioned several different baits and landed several species of fish. I appreciate you tuning in, but you can take you thumbs somewhere else. Loose lines guy...

Whenever you can get down there! It all depends on the weather and the tides, but May - September is usually wonderful whether the fishing is hot or not. Tight lines & Thanks for tuning in!

I usually use size 4 hooks on my bottom rigs, and 2/0 hooks for the fish finder rig. Check the fishing report too because if the water is right you might see some pompano in the troughs.. Tight lines and thanks for tuning in!

​@@HicksHooks Appreciate the reply!

Thanks for tuning in! Yeah.. went a little crazy on the bags for the video. Bowls are more environmental friendly for sure. Tight lines. Let me know if you have any tweaks to the recipe.

September is a great time to go fishing, and those guys all know what they are doing! Good luck out there, and thanks for tuning in!

LOL. That was moved there after I started rolling film. Unfortunate placement. Tight lines, and thanks for tuning in!

Yessir! There is nothing cooler than seeing the water change colors as you head out to the gulf stream. The fishing was top notch as well! Tight lines and thanks again for watching!

Always great hearing from you! Tight Lines!

Thanks so much for tuning in! That's a great question. I usually put my rod holders up on the beach for two reasons. First, I feel like it helps keep more line out of the water. This helps keep my sinker in place because the current has a tendency to pull on the line. The second reason is, waves often break further up the beach which can knock your rod and sand spike in the water. In my opinion, there is nothing worse than getting sand caught up in your reel. Tight lines and thanks for subscribing!

@@HicksHooks ah! I knew there was a possible reason. Thanks!

That's the Duck Marine Research Pier you are seeing in the background.

@@HicksHooks okay thank you.

That's not to far down the road from the KOA campground resort we will be staying at next year in June.

Woohoo! Congratulations! I'm glad I was able to help, but persistence was key! Have a great time and catch some more fish! Tight Lines!

When you set up on the beach, make sure you are on a low point between two humps. This is the deepest part of the trough in front of you. Make sure you aren't casting too far. The fish tend to congregate right in the first drop off in the trough. Use smaller hooks. I usually use size 4 hooks, but sometimes go down to size 6. Keep your line tight. After you cast, make sure your line isn't swaying in the wind. If so, put on a size 2 or 3 oz sinker. Use small pieces of shrimp. They seem to catch fish when nothing else is. Fish when the sun is rising and when the sun is setting. Less people are out, and I feel like the fish are more active. Let me how you do tomorrow, and I will try to help you more. Tight lines buddy! Hang in there!!!

Looking at the weather, the wind should be shifting to the north. This should help you out a bit as well!

@@HicksHooksthanks so much I will let you know!

Thanks for tuning in! Good luck in GA! Tight Lines!

There are some good spots on the sound to fish when fishing on the beach is slow. Thanks for tuning in! Tight lines!

Thanks for tuning in and good luck out there!

It's been working for me for over 30 years... I imagine it should still work this year.. lol. Thanks for tuning in! Tight lines!

@@HicksHooks Aight and do u think bloodworms will work im goin surf fishing tonight in Duck but i might get some other bait at the duck boardwalk

@@Slurveball68 I've had luck with blood worms, but I find shrimp to be just as good and a little cleaner to work with. I hope you guys got into them. Tight lines!

@@HicksHooks Thanks 😎

Excellent!! There are bigger ones out there! Good luck tomorrow!

@@HicksHooks Thanks bro. Sorry I missed you guys in DC recently. Tight lines!
