Fishing in St. Maarten

This week I try something totally new to me... Saltwater shore fishing. Will be able to crack the coral code and figure out how to snag a fish from the sand. Watch and see!

Fun video, and funny! That wave that knocked you on your tail was wicked!

[@anglingarchaeology]

I know the wave made the video lol. Thanks for watching man!

[@Sochmo18]

Loving your videos man! Just moved to coastal NC recently after a year long van trip to some of the top trout streams in the states. Have to say inshore saltwater fishing is super tough, i miss my easy to read trout streams!

Beautiful fish and beach!

[@keithdurgin345]

Great video! Glad you brought us along on your vaca. Great shot of you falling down in front of the biggest wave of the day! Did you bring a rod and reel or get one there?

[@anglingarchaeology]

Thank you! The timing of that wave was priceless haha.
I brought a cheap $25 telescope rod from Scheels and used an extra reel I had laying around. Glad I did, because I didn’t see any tackle shops on the island around where I was staying. I ended up gifting the rod to staff when I left.

[@keithdurgin345]

I bring a rod with me everywhere I go . You never know what opportunities will open up! Keep up the great work !

[@anglingarchaeology]

@@keithdurgin345 Absolutely! Thanks again for watching!

Brutal, not sure why it's so bad but I just spent 4 months in Grenada and it was horrible fishing. The locals kill everything no matter how big, the fishery is destroyed. Need to go way off shore for any serious action.

[@charlesdanazar5456]

Nice video! I plan to be there next week. I would love to fish there and enjoy it. Do I need a fishing license? What's the name of that beach please? Keep up the good work!

[@anglingarchaeology]

Thank you! No need for a license (at least where I fished) maho beach. Bananas and Cheerios were the way to go 👍🏼 good luck!

[@charlesdanazar5456]

@@anglingarchaeology Thanks!

Alright lets be honest... was that iguana just chillin there or was that a prop? ha ha beach fishing is definitely its own thing! @8:21 we can see your poor Ray Bans being swept away to their demise :/

[@anglingarchaeology]

Actually he was… they were everywhere. I tried to get closer but he wasn’t having it haha. Yes, beach fishing is a new world for me, and sadly the Raybans set off to sea that day. Good news is the duty free shop at the airport had buy 2 get 1 free. Wasn’t a total loss
Thanks for watching!
