I appreciate how in the first 2 minutes you tossed out a rig that will catch “anything and everything out here” it’s hard being a rookie fisherman trying to find setups that simply “catch fish” I can’t target certain species, I’m just down for anything. I like this. Thank you.
It really isn't all that hard to target certain species. - Figure out where does your target spend most of it's time, shallow water? deep water? sand bottom etc go to an area that has those attributes. A google search should give you the info on your desired fish. - Have appropriate gear (line, rod strength, hook size) for that targeted species. Bigger fish = Bigger hooks & stronger gear. Lastly you want to imitate what that fish eats. If you're targeting flounder or other sand bottom fish, you might wanna give worms and similar bait a try. If you're targeting Trout you might wanna try flies, Pike you wanna try bigger top water baits like frogs or small mice etc... At the end of the day, it's a lot of trial and error. You have to remember that that same fish will bite on different things depending on weather, water color, temperature and general mood. So what doesn't work today might work tomorrow and vice versa. Lastly, even if you do everything "correctly" it doesn't guarantee that you will ONLY catch your desired species. You never 100% know what will bite your hook. Hope that helps you out! GL!!!
A spoon or paddle tail will catch almost anything. If you can find fishbites near you get them I used a dbl drop rig live shrimp on one hook fishbite on other I got more hits on fishbite. I live Atlantic coast florida
I’m a woman. Live in Illinois. Don’t fish. Why do I love this channel so much?? Love your enthusiasm and the fact that you take your sun protection seriously. Love the fish cam too.
Thanks for tossing the GoFish cam in. I know we fisherman appreciate ANY chance to see fish behaviors underwater as you've shown. Glad you had a good day fishing and I wish you many more.
Man, I love your videos because they give me a little fishing trip...when I cannot go....and you actually seem like you would be a lot of fun to go fishing with....
I watched this video and don't even think I blinked.My Dad was a great fisherman. I did it with him all the time,now that he passed,I just can't go anymore.I subscribed right after it ended.
Great underwater footage if you could try using squid for bait with the cam I believe that fish can't resist the squid specially during those times when they stop biting other baits
Sandflease and fishbites work better than dead shrimp. Wont catch shit with little shrimp pieces unless you get a jack crevalle or red swim by. And squid wont catch anything edible. Fish destin beaches for 20 years.
Me. A trip to Walmart in Melbourne, FL, a 5 gallon bucket, some expensive shrimp from the grocery store - $50 dollars total. Feet in multi-colored sea shells, soft sunshine, so beautiful I almost wept. Caught two Pompano. A day I will forever remember. Now back in East Tennessee.
You're living my dream! I have two condos on the Okaloosa island, I need another one to consider retiring, All I want to do is fish and make a YT channel like yours. It seems like fishermen love watching fishing videos, and I can't imagine doing anything else. I's a software engineer, so it is a little hard to go from working to retiring unless you have a passive income setup. Love watching your videos!!
Appreciate it! One secret that allows me to do what I do is these videos are just as passive as a rental property without the hassle. I have 500 videos churning money every month without really having to do much. I think the passive side of content creation is overlooked.
@@AnglerUpTv I was curious how you started, so I saw your first video. Yeah, that Batman and Robin one. LOL, now that was funny! I really liked the bloopers too! I also got to see your evolution of the Red Arrow in your cover image. I'll be going though your early videos just to see how much you've evolved. Also, I need to work on my video techniques too.
Your videos are amazing, congratulations you are a great fisherman!👍🎣😊 Your pompano catch was fantastic We fish a lot of pompano here in Brazil, this fish is wonderful.
I've never salt water fished before, but always wanted to. Every time we go to Florida, it's just to see the grandsons. They're too little to take fishing and I highly doubt if their parents ever want them to. *sigh* The camera underwater was great! Nice to see a variety of fish.
I hope the camera on your line turns into a series. Very cool. You could strap a camera to a dock piling with lights and film fish biting too. A bag of chum with a camera watching from below could be cool also, maybe from a pier or jetty. Joey Antonelli and John Skinner have some great underwater camera set ups and videos, but there are lots more ways to use them.
Excelent!!! Although I am a Biologist and I dive frequently, I never cease to be amazed by underwater shots, specially about fishing, I really enjoy your videos!!, best regards from Mexico
Great video, I lived in Ft Walton Beach for 8 years at Hurlburt; this made me go way back when the kids were small and the water was gorgeous and warm. Thanks for the memories again.
Wow you are the only one that I have seen use a go pro. To show underwater footage. And also your narrative epilogue on all the different fish, especially seeing different fish that we do not have here in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Hiya Brant,great video of the under water coverage of the fish.Thank you for the wonderful offer of a prize from your last video,lam from a small island in the English Channel.I am not residing there at the moment,l am in Guyana in South America.The postal service isn’t the best here,but thank you for the kind offer.Just watching the videos is brilliant fishing for me.Hope you have a lovely time down there🐟🐟😀👍
I love your videos. I appreciate all the work you do to make them happen. I truly enjoy seeing all the different types of fish that you catch. Thank you for the underwater video of the fish just swimming around. Truly enjoyable.
Watching the video of the fish in the surf is highly educational. It shows that fish can be in the area, but just not interested in feeding. Was this in the afternoon by chance? Inquiring minds want to know! These sort of videos have become my favorite!❤
I don't know much about saltwater fishing but I do know if ladyfish won't even bite cut bait it's time to pack it up and head to the house... that fish cam is so freakin cool you need to drop it by a rig offshore!!!
Cool video. That some nice underwater footage right there and the fact that you saw two tarpon is insane! Love the channel. Can’t wait for another video!!
I’m up in North Carolina and fish a lot around the Outer Banks and have a lot of success with blood worms no matter what the conditions are. Just found your channel. Great stuff
I wonder why on 6:02 there’s a bunch of rods behind the active one, yet on the next frame from fpv camera at 6:10 there’re no other rods to be seen anywhere 😅
I always have success with live glass minnows & horse mackerel. Might I also suggest the ikijime method for completely bleeding out the fish you keep. It makes a world of difference in the taste.
Beautiful flat beach, all my beaches are deep shelving stone beaches I would love to put a go pro down to see what is actually happening a bit worried that mr big Bronzie will gulp it though.
I read an article about a fisherman who was having a hard time getting his bait beyond the surf break. His solution for a sinker he used a golf ball, He attached to his surf casting rod, opened the bail, grabbed his driver and teed off.
I love the underwater video. I love all your videos! I would like to see a catch cook an preparing the fish cutting them up from the whole fish to the frying pan. Lol
How far out are you casting it? I’m going past the little what I heard another video call “fish highway” onto the sandbar and then chunking it as far as I can into the second “fish highway” right past the first sandbar, then walking back to the shore and waiting, no bites. I’m in pcb on vacation, every time I come here I catch stuff from the pier but this time I thought I’d give the beach a try too. So far I’ve tried using squid, and shrimp, I also have some sandfleas all frozen bought, but no luck yet. Only bite I got was like 20 feet away from shore with some shrimp. Do I use big chunks of squid, or little ones? And is there a certain time they bite the best?
Love the video and the video of the fish!! I hope you appreciate the beauty of that sand you are walking on.......used to vacation in Destin growing up! Not sure there is any prettier sand. You looked like you were dressed for fall fishing in VA!! 😋 Have a great week bud!!
You were distracting people to look at the fish on the fish-cam and there was a cool little crab there going in and out of his hole under the bait and into the sand. That was cool.
Love to see how y’all cooked up your catch in that beautiful beachside condo. Melanie looked like she was up to something in the kitchen. Loved the fish cam the pompano, and learning about whitefish!
Was that a tarpon at the 11:19 mark? It didn't look like the other lady fish passing through. Amazing how many fish swim around the bait and just nibble at it.
Love the underwater camera view! Cast it earlier next time for some hook ups! Looking forward to fishing the gulf in our retirement. So many options of table fare!
Another wonderful production of the UnderSea World of JACQUES BRANT COUSTEAU always enjoys the thinking out-of-the-box videos. What beautiful footage, great show!
May I ask about the little rod I know it’s a toadfish rod is it also their reel and line and if so which reel and pound test also size and kind of rod?
Great video Brant the little rod was a hopping today can't complain when you put a meal on the table pretty amazing how many different fish even close to shore like that really enjoying the beach fishing👍
I used to beach cast my waterwolf when it came out into deep shore in the UK.....filled me with dread throwing 100 quid of camera out there. I only lost one and wish I'd put bigger safety measure on like you have lol
Hey there was wondering if you or anybody reading this could give me some insight regarding the underwater cameras and what is a good kind to get. Not really looking to catch fish was thinkin more about just casting a camera out there with baits but no hooks just to watch later on. Thanks
How do you get your rods setup like that in the water? I'm new to surf fishing and its a constant battle of my line getting beat around in the surf at the edge and bending my rod tip up and down enough to make it seasick.
That was coolest video I've ever seen never seen fish in action but maybe a little smaller camera 📸 bigger bait will draw them in camera won't scare them off imagine those tarpon omg insane u might lose camera lol game changer

LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU KEEP ONLY WHAT YOU NEED. that sustainable.
Pompano! My favorite to catch and eat! Nothing beats surf fishing on an empty beach! Thank you for sharing this, especially the fish cam....so cool!

Or Bloodworms. I know a lot of people don’t like using them because they’re messy and got the teeth and all but it’s a great surf bait.
Can never go wrong with squid 😊
dead squids on beach always attract the catfish mostly
For sure squid is the best bait
Sandflease and fishbites work better than dead shrimp. Wont catch shit with little shrimp pieces unless you get a jack crevalle or red swim by. And squid wont catch anything edible. Fish destin beaches for 20 years.
Love the under water cam views. I like to imagine there are tons fish swimming by my baits. This proves it’s possible!

The U/W vids add so much to the content! Give us more. No shortage of fish, for certain. Just finicky… Thanx, Brant!
I have been to the Gulf thousands of times and never seen it that calm! Could sit and look at that water all day.

Young people are more and more lazy and entitled these days. Really sucks. Parents these days are becoming worse than the kids.
@@willsimpson3783 I agree. The grandsons are SO coveted, they rarely get to go out and play. When they do, the don't dare get dirty!! SMH
Mary, hire soeone for the day and go fish! Live your life too!!!

I love your channel man. It's so easy to watch and your content just gets better and better. Hopefully I'll run into you while we're fishing one day.

It was in the morning. Appreciate it
Maybe the better question would be at what stage of the tide, fish typically from my experience drop off the bite at the top or bottom of the tide.
I'm not even a surf fisher (& never was interested) but your excitement almost makes me want to go try it.
Tony is a man full of life.
What another great video. Enjoy your time with your wife it’s always great to see that. Look forward to more videos brother.

Love the rainbows on the sand!
Great video. Glad to see Tony too. I only wish all of you content creators great success!
Yes!!! Another video!!! Your absolutely rocking it
Thanks for the great video. I learned a few things. “The little rod always get hit” classic!
I wonder why on 6:02 there’s a bunch of rods behind the active one, yet on the next frame from fpv camera at 6:10 there’re no other rods to be seen anywhere 😅
Your content always brightens my day. Thanks for your content. Water finally looks clean. God bless
Love the underwater camera part of video

Thank you for posting!! Y’all have the most beautiful sunrises and beach! Has there ever been a fish that try to bite the camera? Lolol
Another good day of fishing 👍 enjoy your vacation brother 👌
Love it!!! Great job Brant!!!
Thank you
I noticed my little brothers fishing style came from you. He loves fishing so much I love it too but that boy made it his passion
Driving tomorrow morning from PA to Destin for a wedding. Definitely going to try and do some fishing.
Destin is some of the world's most beautiful beaches...great vid man. I haven't ever had much of a chance to salt water fish.
Heading to destin this weekend from Texas. What rig set up did you have on the small rod and what bait ? Appreciate any help !
Beautiful flat beach, all my beaches are deep shelving stone beaches I would love to put a go pro down to see what is actually happening a bit worried that mr big Bronzie will gulp it though.
Love the underwater camera.
Thanks for the awesome content. Love your attitude and that's what makes me want to watch more brother. Being humble is key.
I read an article about a fisherman who was having a hard time getting his bait beyond the surf break. His solution for a sinker he used a golf ball, He attached to his surf casting rod, opened the bail, grabbed his driver and teed off.
Water very shallow on the MS coast to surffish well . Have to wade out to fish
I love the underwater video. I love all your videos! I would like to see a catch cook an preparing the fish cutting them up from the whole fish to the frying pan. Lol
Nice episode Brant. Love the fish-eye view of the action. Really helps with the rig setups.
Just enjoy watching the fish in their environment. 👍👍👍👍
Never been a fan of multiple fishing rods… I think 3 is best
2 for bait and one ready with a lure. :p

Great video. Fun to watch. Where the heck are these huge empty gorgeous beaches? I’d be there everyday.
MAN what a spot!!!! Enjoyed the passion in your video, a true fisherman!
Great footage...those two silver kings looked like ghosts swimming by!
Great video awesome underwater content 👍👍 also love that you search out public access locations!!!

some nice catches 🎣👌.. lovely underwater footage... enjoyed watching 😍👍
Great job man. Keep on Fishing 🎣
That’s great Brant 👍🏿👍🏿
That’s my beach❤️ those fish are the reason I walk on the water🤣 I can’t stand them touching my legs 🤣
used to catch whiting on fleas and shrimp and blues on gator spoons on the atlantic side north of miami growing up just about every day we'd eat em
I like to walk the beach with my 7 ft I cast a 3/4 Oz spoon you're right they always get hit
Another wonderful production of the UnderSea World of JACQUES BRANT COUSTEAU always enjoys the thinking out-of-the-box videos. What beautiful footage, great show!
May I ask about the little rod I know it’s a toadfish rod is it also their reel and line and if so which reel and pound test also size and kind of rod?
Yeah small toadfish reel with 10# braid and toad mxf rod
Great video Brant the little rod was a hopping today can't complain when you put a meal on the table pretty amazing how many different fish even close to shore like that really enjoying the beach fishing👍
After that underwater footage, I reckon do a fishbites vs all natural bait. Maybe drop the floats for the natural bait. Could be a fun experiment.
I used to beach cast my waterwolf when it came out into deep shore in the UK.....filled me with dread throwing 100 quid of camera out there. I only lost one and wish I'd put bigger safety measure on like you have lol
You are a cool Dude! Having great fun!
This place is my idea of bliss. white sand, blue sea and sun on your back ❤
Very action packed great viewing
What test line do you use off the beach and off the pier
Hey there was wondering if you or anybody reading this could give me some insight regarding the underwater cameras and what is a good kind to get. Not really looking to catch fish was thinkin more about just casting a camera out there with baits but no hooks just to watch later on. Thanks
Loving the underwater footage my boy... Mas amigo 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
How do you get your rods setup like that in the water? I'm new to surf fishing and its a constant battle of my line getting beat around in the surf at the edge and bending my rod tip up and down enough to make it seasick.
Great video, Brant! Loved the fish interaction with the bait. I'd love to see that when they are hungry. Thanks!
That looks like so much fun . I would like to do it some day . I fish freshwater streams .
Loved it!! Gotta love them Tarpon. If u go to Deerfield beach underwater cam
You can catch the schoosl of snook
The surf camera was awesome!
I'm just so envious of how beautiful that weather is lmao
What pound braid was on the short rod setup?
That was coolest video I've ever seen never seen fish in action but maybe a little smaller camera 📸 bigger bait will draw them in camera won't scare them off imagine those tarpon omg insane u might lose camera lol game changer
