Wicked hook sets! Way to cross his eyes….Hey buddy don’t sell yourself short because you’re doing great. You remind me of myself when I was your age always looking for spots on my own! No one had to tell me but I was a very good listener and spent hours at my local B&T where the old sharpies hung out but I never asked them where they fished especially there secret honey holes. Once they got to know me and more importantly trusted me they would share some info that was priceless. You have to remember back then there was no internet or social media so I wrote everything down in a log book after every trip. I even have cassette tapes which I still have when I was back in grammar school recording my trips.. Lol I love the passion you have with fishing so even though your going to have some shitty trips and get skunked just remember it’s not always about catching fish but just being out there by yourself watching the sunrise and sunset and breathing that salt air as the terns and seagulls cry so enjoy every minute because time flys by too fast!
I Appreciate this comment man. I have it easy with all of the technology hahaha. Love the last part of your comment. I often forget about taking it all in because I’m so focused on trying to catch something. Next time I’m out there all alone as the sun comes up I will think about your comment and stop for a minute. Thanks again!
Another banger of a video Nik, great information in this one too on using maps. We’re lucky to have all this tech at our fingertips to scout out spots!
Thanks Matt! Yeah I haven’t been on the surf in a while. I was honestly getting sick of it lol. Have you caught any keepers recently? I’ll be back out there soon man hopefully things pick up! 🎣
I caught a handful in the thunderstorm last weekend. It was where I saw you last that day we met. Only one other guy there and he was catching by drifting fleas off a bobber as he walked up the beach with the current.
Hey rum, the fluke fishing is actually supposed to get better from shore as the season goes on. From what i've learned the peanut bunker come close to shore in like August/September and the fluke start feasting. I've done well in late July and August so my hopes are high. Good luck dude!
does the lighter braid help with feeling hits and the action, I always thought the lighter braid was bad against wind. I use 20 but that might be overkill from shore, more for gp incase I hook something else
What’s up Andrew! The lighter braid definitely helps me feel bites. I also get better casting distance with it. The wind will blow it around, but keeping your rod tip low can help avoid this. I know plenty of people who use heavy braid and still catch though. Maybe try 10-15 pound braid if you are thinking of going lighter. Have you been catching any big ones recently?
@@NikolasMarshall other than a month ago with the 23 incher, not really but haven't been able to get out recently. Last time it was mainly shorts, but wasn't able to get a smaller jerk bait for the trips and only had heavier ones. Do those freshwater ones avoid the weeds or is it still a issue even if it's smaller and lighter? But it's mostly been bay side thts done better than ocean for me I was surprised last time since I didn't know they closed off one of the beaches due to birds. Wonder how long tht lasts, ik there's other surf side beach access spots but still is unfortunate. At least the bait fishing was good tho
I saw that 23 incher man it was a nice fish! I think the jerkbait is always going to get weeds on it no matter what kind you use. The treble hooks are like weed magnets. Yeah I hope they reopen the beach soon. About a month ago I talked to one of the rangers and he said it was going to take 3 weeks for the birds to leave... Hopefully you get out there a few more times this summer man i'll see you out there.

Awesome video!!!
Thanks pete Fire emoji x4 lol
@@NikolasMarshall 😆😆
Great video! Fogging up the background was brilliant & Great call on ditching that net, it only causes tail rot on those fluke.
Thanks man! I will have to get a new net because the day I go out there without a net is the day I catch a 25+ incher lol
Good stuff! New sub! Great info. Keep it up.
Thanks brother! Glad you liked it. Your channel is looking great too!
@@NikolasMarshall appreciate it. It’s a grind. Just trying to grow the community and make more fishing buddies! Good luck out there

appreciate it Sam! Technology has its pros and cons… Works great for fishing though 😂
Nice job Nik. Haven’t seen you on the beach lately. Good move in the kayak with this heat and South wind.

Nice man that area is pretty good. I've heard from a couple of people that fleas are working well which makes sense. I've never used them though.
Great content! I need to do a better job using GE to find ledges.
thanks Mike! Gotta be using everything you can to find these fish haha.
When does the fluke fishing die down on shore?

Nice job in blocking the background.... solid move that a lot of guys don't do
Thanks Jay! It was extremely time consuming and difficult lol. Glad you pointed it out thank you. Good luck out there!
first
