Just a couple quick, easy to remember tips about lunar cycles and tides (since you said you don't have the best understanding of them). Lunar cycles are mainly important because the tides tend to be more extreme (at their highest and lowest) during both full and new moons. Those extreme tides mean more (and faster) current flow in between. Of the two, new moons are usually better for morning fishing, because during a full moon (if it's not overcast) the fish will use the extra light to feed all night. This usually means a slower bite the next morning, but it tends to pick up tremendously that afternoon. Conversely, full moons make for fantastic night fishing! The predators sit on the bottom and pick off the bait using their silhouettes. As for which tides are best, people will argue endlessly, but the super simplified version is that if you're fishing in bays, inlets, etc. during the summer, incoming tides tend to be better. This is because the cooler, deeper water from the gulf is getting pushed inland. This will also increase the dissolved oxygen in the water, often triggering fish to feed. In the winter it's exactly opposite. The shallower water that has been warmed by the sun all day pushes deeper with the outgoing tide, again making fish more comfortable and active... meaning they will usually feed more. This is usually less important in the gulf (or ocean for those on the east coast). However, fishing near inlets or passes is usually a very good idea during outgoing tides because bait fish tend to get carried out with the current. The fish we are after are very well aware of this and will tend to wait to ambush them nearby. Hope that helps at least a couple folks! It got a little longer than I intended, but in fairness, there is a lot of info packed in there!
Nice info for everyone! I have most of those apps, but the one I find most useful is one called fishing and hunting solunar time. Has weather, wind, tides, and even gives a fishing day rating based on conditions. Very handy and typically the only app ill check before going out. Good luck on the road to 10k!
I put tides and OA on my phone before I came down first of July. Both were helpful to make sure I was following state laws and when the tides were what.
Gonna drop a second comment to point out that one of the nice things about having a small(ish) subscriber count is that you don't have all the goons and knuckleheads. This is a great community here & it's a pleasure to read the comments. 🤩
@@BeardedBrad92 Yep. Be careful what you wish for. One day, when you've got 100K subs (knock wood), & all the trolls and creepers have oozed outta the woodwork, you're gonna long for the pleasant, congenial days when nobody knew who you were hahaha. 😂
I’m just getting back into fishing and I bought a Grady 209. How would you go about finding out where rocks are or wrecks? I keep herring there are charts that have them. Thanks. Love the videos.
Tackle Tuesday idea. Please explain the different hooks and what the numbers mean and what hook for what fish. Glad your little boy is home and doing good. I subscribed to Freddie's channel. Please pray for Yak's Dad.
I'd love to see Brad's take on this too. I recently started limiting myself to what I can carry in my small backpack, basically meaning one 3400 sized tray and one 3600 (I could honestly squeeze in one more 3600, but the limitation is kind of the point... and, of course, there is extra room in the bag for spools of leader, a popping cork or two, some packs of soft plastics, etc.). I've found that it forces me to think through each trip more thoroughly and also learn how to not only be better with each lure, but also learn to use them in new ways. I would HIGHLY recommend trying this approach out, even if only for a couple of trips. You'll be surprised at how resourceful you become. I know plenty will be hesitant, but I can guarantee you that I am just as ready for anything that moves through as the guy with the old school, giant 12 tray tacklebox full of crap he'll never use.
There are several of us who like to fish the pier when we come down but we are just kinda left to chance. Is it feasible to show certain areas of the pier and what you can expect to catch there. Not wanting secrets, just kinda, “If you want this target species your best bet is this area off the pier.” GSP
Whoa! Thanks for that. Didn't have a clue those existed. Except for the Fish Rules. Not that app specific, but one like it. Gotta say Fish Rules looks waaaaay more useful. Just what I needed - more crap on my phone, lol. 👍😁
Fish Rules really is incredibly handy. Not only does it give you info on open/closed seasons, but also size limits, bag limits, any special rules for that species (e.g. no treble hooks with natural bait is a common one), alternate names... essentially everything you would actually ever need to know. Even better, it's fantastic for species identification. It has multiple pictures for most species (they don't make this super obvious, but try scrolling left or right on the actual photo for a species like redfish, which is listed as red drum), often including little diagrams to help differentiate commonly mixed up species.
Great job Brad! I had to keep pausing to download the apps. 😆. You should do a quick vid on recommended hook sizes for different fishing situations. Amateurs like me need a little help... hook's too big... the small fish rob you... too small... the big ones bend/break. Thanks man!
Nice video, I never though about it. I have been surfing out here in California for forty year and I have all these apps for that and also been fishing a lot back in your neck of the woods.
Good info BB! I went to check my Alabama Outdoors app, since I forgot I had it, and will have to purchase my new license for my trip down in a couple weeks. This is a really good segment, so I'm glad you made it a quick and easy once-a-week video. I see you're bumping 9k... Whoop! Cheers!
Alabama licenses are unusual in that they always expire/renew on September 1st, no matter when you purchase them. It's at least easy to remember, but makes it a little frustrating to pay full price if you need one in mid-July.
@@TheMtGRogue Yeah! I was born and raised there, and I'll be down in a couple weeks, so this was a good reminder. I actually forgot I had the app. Ha Thanks!
How about a comparison of polarized glasses. I'd love to see how the $10-15 Walmart pair stacks up against say a $50 mid priced and a $125 Waterland pair.
Yo, Bearded Brad thanks a bunch for the shout out. We're stoked that you like and actually use Fish Rules App. Holler at me if you're going to be down in South Florida and maybe we can get offshore together!
BB ya need to get Freddy down to CMR’s. He needs to taste those “Rocky Mountain Oysters”. Broaden that young man’s horizon type of thing. Would be epic!!! Tight lines hope the newest little one is doing well!

Definitely helpful!
Thanks Brad. How about tackle Tuesday. If you only had a few lures to take to the beach what would they be.
I can do that

Pretty sure that's Bluegabe and Joe VT Fishing on the Amberjack picture lol.. cool to see them on there
Yep, that’s bluegabe

Great video!!! Lovin the tackle Tuesdays👍👍 Totally appreciate your willingness to share knowledge. definitely gotta load some of those apps.
Great Information!
Very helpful. Thanks
Yes sir!
GREAT VIDEO BRAD!!!!!
Thanks buddy!
That looks like good info for fishermen
Great job Brad! I had to keep pausing to download the apps. 😆. You should do a quick vid on recommended hook sizes for different fishing situations. Amateurs like me need a little help... hook's too big... the small fish rob you... too small... the big ones bend/break. Thanks man!

How about a comparison of polarized glasses. I'd love to see how the $10-15 Walmart pair stacks up against say a $50 mid priced and a $125 Waterland pair.
That’s a good idea
Must be Tuesday good morning Brad
Yes sir! Mornin!
That’s good stuff man !! Did you go to get a pair of 🐊 yet lol
Haha not yet!
Awesome topic
Thanks man
That’s a sweet looking hat you are wearing Brad 😁
Love it!
awesome, 3 new apps on my phone.
Sweet!
Yo, Bearded Brad thanks a bunch for the shout out. We're stoked that you like and actually use Fish Rules App. Holler at me if you're going to be down in South Florida and maybe we can get offshore together!
Will do! Hoping to make it down there at some point this spring!
BB ya need to get Freddy down to CMR’s. He needs to taste those “Rocky Mountain Oysters”. Broaden that young man’s horizon type of thing. Would be epic!!! Tight lines hope the newest little one is doing well!
That’s a fantastic idea!
Can you list those apps by name? Maybe I missed it here but you were going faster than I could make notes! Congratulations on 10,000k
Fish Rules App was the app that has all the fishing regulations
I don't see Freddy's channel in the description
That's cool
Tide Alert is also reaaaalllyyy good
9k!
Thank you for app help
Yes sir!
You a lefty golfer, Brad?
Haha no they’re a friends
Saw a person with floating screen to catch ghost shrimp sifting the sand catching more than trying to see down in the water.
Intern Brad do you guide?
I do! Hit me up if you’re in the area
I've tried fish rules but it never displays the info,
Awesome
Fishfin is awesome!
Been looking for a app to identify fish and if it’s edible
Fishrules is the best
1st
Top apps that you don't use or keep up....😅
I HATE SUBSCRIPTIONS
