Hey Dillon, it was nice meeting you out on the rocks. Stoked I made it on one of your videos and stoked you found some action after not getting on a fluke bite. I finally found a keeper fluke out there, laying up on a rock yesterday morning. Thanks for the great content, keep it coming! 🤙🏼
Great to see you finish the day with a strong bite. The rocks you were casting towards are from the old south jetty. Parallel jettys were supposed to improve inlet conditions.... that is open for debate. The inlet can be challenging for sure. Tight lines!
If you replace the trebles on your metals with singles it will make unhooking much easier. VMC 7266 ti are the best pattern for hook up to landing ratio, much better than trebles.
@@happyguy5414 I think the species being targeted may make a difference but hook up to landing ratio is much, much better using singles. Once hooked i rarely lose a fish on singles across a wide range of species. Singles are more prone to deep hooking, especially on pencil/needlefish type lures but do avoid eye damage and skin tear damage.
@@robertgallacher7214 I completely agree with you regarding treble hooks doing far more damage to the fish and especially their eyes. However my experience of fishing for Bass, Pollock and Mackerel in UK waters, having used treble’s for many many years and having recently tried singles is that single hooks miss the fish on at least 50% of takes compared to treble’s whereby I hit at least 90% of takes. However perhaps we should all be using singles to protect the fish. 👍🏻
@@happyguy5414 My experience for Cod , Pollack, Coalies and Bass is the exact opposite fishing from the shore in Scotland,also over many years. Even the Sea Trout stay hooked better although the amount of takes missed by them is similar to that on trebles,in salt water anyway. Once hooked i can count the amount of fish that have come off on a single/single assist over the last 20 years on the fingers of one hand whereas with trebles it was a daily occurrence ,not to mention the amount of trebles straightened/bent out/snapped by big Pollack ,on a couple of Occasions, good cod and one occasion two years ago a very big Bass.
Hey Dillon, Love your channel. I noticed on the metal spoons you put a swivel on it. Are you supposed to do that? or do you tie your line right to the O ring on the metal
Are you dragging along the bottom with that metal? I’ve lost all mine getting snagged in the rocks. I usually real pretty slow thinking the fish will have time to catch it. Should I real faster and keep off the bottom ?

Looking good in bamboo!

Metal has often saved the day for me especially around the rocks. Brigantine jetty..one of my favorite places to fish. Rock on, Dillon!
Same thing happend down at Ponquogue on the south shore of LI. Shad and blues are really fun.

Thanks for the compliment man! Just responded to your dm! I’ll c ya out there
New to saltwater in NJ. Mostly a freshwater angler and just started to switch over. Nice to see our waters being repped. Tightlines

Thanks for the tip
You lose a lot of fish with singles instead of trebles. However singles are much kinder to the fish.

Sharpen your hooks? Or replace maybe? I don't know love your videos brother. Keep it up
Great video thanks for the amazing content 🔥🔥🎣🎣
You got to be on the south side in the pocket they stack in there early season

Depends. Some of the metals come with swivels on already
Great video🔥Never caught a saltwater herring or shad. Is this usually the time of year you catch them?
Yep they run similar to stripers during their anadromous spawning run
My go to is a Williamson Gomame. 9 bucks at Dicks sporting goods. Best metal in my bag when it comes to blues.
Are you dragging along the bottom with that metal? I’ve lost all mine getting snagged in the rocks. I usually real pretty slow thinking the fish will have time to catch it. Should I real faster and keep off the bottom ?
No, just let it sink a couple seconds and retrieve pretty fast
So yes, keep it off the bottom

Shout out to the random skyscraper trying to start a seaside mini city in the intro
Hey what lure are you catching the blues? And weight?
Mad Mantis 1 ounce
@@dillonfishing Thanks much
New sub ! Liked 😀✌️✌️
Would it be possible to say where your at,I can’t do jetty’s anymore
That shad could become a striped bass
Where is this place?
can you give us the lure link or what??
