    Hey Skipper. I live and fish here in Northern midwest, where its gettin really cold in Illinois. We dont have like the best places to fish. For that, we go oto Wisconsin. But I learned today a VERY important, fundamental of fishing. Match hook size with the fish you want to catch. A great highlight from your video. A fish with small mouth will need small hook. Now i understand why i use a small hook and i only get panfish, bluegill or sunfish and hoping to catch trophy bass. Ive been fishing crazy using like a3/0 or 4/0 on a drop shot - but even tsmaller fish just swim away. Thank you Skipper for this awesome learning. Edgar

    100% depends on the day, one day the fish are on the bite and the next day nothing even in identical conditions. I prefer to use circle hooks in a rugged rocky areas as the normal "J" hook tends to get stuck in the coral

    Hey man me and my friend started fishing at the bay we are really new to this type of fishing, we went to a bay WITHH some normal 6 foot medium heavy foot rod with a lot of fresh fish and night crawlers and little did we know we hade a lot to learn to when it comes to hooks to what rod your using and how your tieing your rig. Your videos are a lot of help man been trying to play close attention what you tie on your line, weights ur using and etc

    The next time you fish that pier use a trolley rig it keeps your bait in the perfect place for kings, mackerel, and tarpon. There's a lot less of a chance of losing fish, like when you bottom fish.

    In NJ and I think other Northeastern states if you are bait fishing for stripers you have to use circle hooks per the regulations so if it's the spring or fall runs you're pretty much stuck with the circle regardless of the species you are targeting unless its a really small hook.

    You can free-line pinfish from that pier and catch grouper off the rocks 50 to 75 yards out from the pier.. That's one of my favorite places to fish.. Mangroves snapper, Spanish/King mackerel, Jackes... Anything and everything swims through there...

    already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.

There was a shelter in the middle of the pier but no one wanted to leave the bite. We kept looking at the shelter and at each other laughing the whole time...and kept fishing.

    In some states where striped bass range, you have to use inline circle hooks now if you're targeting bass. J Hooks and O'Shaughnessy are illegal for stripers in NY and CT. Offset hooks are also illegal for stripers in both states.

      I am in PE, -
      We can make our own salted baits too!...
      By experimenting!
      The west coast fishermen dry and salt the pilchards or sardines!
      Red bait can be dried and salted, probably others too!
      Freshwater fishermen dry and salt kapenta, - small sardine species up north!
      I will try doing it sometime.
      Better than trying to import their bait and the situation involved for sure!...

    • @TheMtGRogue
      @TheMtGRogue 3 роки тому

      @Willem Nel- Michael Everton is spot on. Most of the people I've come across who use salted baits make their own. I haven't watched a ton of the videos on this channel, but I'm almost positive I've seen him making his as well. If you were to make a habit of doing it consistently, making use of by-catch and extras, it should be self-sustaining (or at least very close to it). The process is pretty simple as long as you're sticking to relatively small bait fish. Bigger stuff can be used, you just want to make sure that it is thoroughly dried/cured before handling, though.
      Also, as Michael Everton pointed out, I would think importing something like this might be a little tricky.
