I love my 12 ugly stick and 8000 Penn pursuit 3 with 50-pound braid and 80-pound shock leader and I'm going to get an Offshore Angler Ocean Master Stand-Up Rod with a 14/0 Penn senator can't wait to hit the beach again
When surf fishing I bring my 11 foot ugly stick big water spinning rod, my penn fierce 8000, 40 pound braid, and for bait always shrimp and always bloodworms. I also usually dig up some sand fleas when the surf is super rough and save them for the next couple days.
I used to be an avid fisherman years ago. But I stopped & I haven’t really fished in about a decade because life got in the way like it always does lol. BUT… I recently was handed down my friends old fishing gear after he unfortunately passed away. His wife wanted me to keep his memory alive by becoming a fisherman again. So how could I refuse lol? I’m currently trying to relearn how to setup rigs, tie knots & everything else. So your channel has been VERY helpful for me. Thanks, I really appreciate it. If my friend were alive today & Id definitely recommend your channel to him✌🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾
This was a great video, I like how you showed how far you cat out. You showed from baiting the hook to releasing the fish. Very helpful, thank you!!!!!
A couple of weeks ago after no luck on the beach, I watched a video on his surf fishing tips, came home with a 23.5 inch red on a $100 pole and reel. What he teaches works on any equipment.
I just love your passion and attention to detail. And your awesome openness to share your experience. Thank you both. I’ve learned so much from your video’s.
Hey, one quick question. I bought my 4wd truck specifically with this in mind, plus I wanted a truck, lol. But I have found that, where I normally go is bogue banks, you have to have a permit to drive on the beach in some places. Did you have to get a permit to drive on the beach there? Also, for a future video, could you do one where to test or recommend a fishing cart or backpack to carry your poles and gear. I am a disabled vet, and my legs don't work so well due to nerve damage, and the soft beach sand is killer. So if you could do a recommendation video for carts or backpacks that can help disabled people get to the beach, that would be super helpful. Thanks and keep up the great work. I have finally perfected the T knot thanks to your video.
Been watching your videos lately, to be honest you're the only youtuber I've watched when it comes to fishing. Haven't tried fishing but your videos making me think otherwise. Good job and your contents are great.
@@HeySkipper You know what, I bought myself some gears last night. Applied for a fishing license (it's required in my country). Gonna go out fishing as soon as that comes out. Thanks for inspiring me and others to go on and fish. I am going to actually watch your video on the T-knot for a hi-lo rig in a minute. Keep up the good work man, regards to your family from mine.
@Buffoon Lagoon Fishing it would have to be sea bass they are so hard fighting and also taste delicious there is a limit per person to keep the numbers managed
I have three surf rod and reels I bought for $20 (total) at a yard sale. Two 12ft and one 15ft. All three have 20 pound mono on them. I use a Walmart high/low rig with circle hooks. Haven't lost a fish yet but then again I haven't gotten anything huge yet.
Phenix is a huge brand over here in Southern California. Used for yellowtail to tuna, we get 8-10 foot ones and use them to cast surface irons. I personally used to own a phenix axis 8’. Great rod overall. Ended up giving that one to a buddy and got a shimano teramar
@@ForgivenSheep3 my buddy deserves it. He’s wanted an axis for a long long time. Works hard but Never made the money to buy one because of his living expenses. So I gave mine to him and I got something new
I may get a St Croix and hear ODM rods are excellent as well. You convinced me on the Shimano reels. I used to be a Penn person but don't think the quality is there anymore. I got a BaitrunnerD in June-they're excellent- It's like you said-Shimano's are more refined, higher quality than Penn's. I think with these lightweight reels, carbon rods and 30lb braid line, that's the ideal setup for most surf casting conditions.
Love your videos. I have learned so much from you and your dad. My friend and I have been going done to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a couple years now. We have caught alot more fish thanks to you. We are heading down after Easter again this year. Your family would be welcome to join us for some great surf fishing.
I love your content. I would love if you could come to California again to do more content. Info online is lacking around me and hardly compares to yours. I feel like the scene is so different than every other state. I mainly do pier and beach fishing but I can't read any of it or know what is best. Looking forward to trying out some of these techniques!
where I fish in the sand I really enjoy doing, but the waves are very big, it can reach 2 meters and 3 meters, in this channel I learn more, greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩
Hey there just came across you. Thanks for sharing. You mentioned NC. Just built a beach house on topsail and was curious what beach you were on… along with a bunch of other questions as I know nothing about surf fishing. Thanks again and stay well.
Dude, these videos are awesome! I used to go beach fishing with my dad and grandfather in Virginia Beach early in the mornings and it was soo fun catching spot and croakers alotta times twice on those double rigs using bloodworms...your videos bring back great memories and info...Great Job!
Hey Skipper I just got the deluxe kit I order from you and very happy with it ,hopeing to catch lots of fish this weekend..I have a question, im wanting to order a second box ,but the empty one so I can have 2 boxes ,one for the squid and one with the shrimp and clam.but im wanting to know if you sale the salt or the stuff you keep it fresh in so when I catch bait I can keep it in with the shrimp also ,couse its not enough salt to hold bait and the shrimp together.
Me and my family are going to Panama City for vacation I like to fish when I’m on vacation but never do very good what do you suggest for fishing from the beach in Panama City in late July
I have a few questions. What is it about Sputnik weights that you like? Do they ever get stuck in the sand? Also, you talk about a high low rig and a fish finder rig. Is there an advantage of one over the other? When would you use one instead of the other? Thank you.
We ended up making spikes out of metal fence posts and have something welded to the top to screw in rod holders. I needed some holders and that was what my dad had available at the time.
Hey! I like your channel quite a bit! Idk how you feel about fishing with fans, but myself and a buddy are stationed in camp lejeune and are trying to figure out salt water/ surf fishing. It would be awesome if we can fish with you one day and learn some things! We're definitely getting better by watching your videos. But still having a hard time learning the surf, tide, and the bait to use at what time of the year or day i appreciate everything you do!
Skipper, if you want maximum distance you should try a clip down rig. It keeps the bait inline with the sinker till splash down. You can buy them ready made up or buy the components and make your own like I do.
You two have nice videos. I’m just starting out and will be surf fishing Myrtle Beach mostly off season. The audio is a little problem. When you catch a fish and hold it up, it would help if you said what kind of a fish, if it’s good eating, what bait used, the size, the legal size required and if your going to keep it and why.
Penn Pursuit series, good reels at a $50-ish price point. Wouldn't recommend going with anything cheaper than that, you'll destroy reels pretty quick in the surf if you do.
Great content...!! What type of fish were you targeting? The reason behind the question, is everything I saw was being thrown back. Fishing for content and rod and reel setups, ok. Got it. Ever thought of giving caught fish to the needed or shelters in local areas. To each their own. Thanks for posting. Peace...!
If you were going out into deep water for grouper or red fish along those liked and fishing amongst wrecks would you use 30 lb braided line? I am a 73 year old complete novice….
Hi hey Skipper i have question about a rod with a solid tip or tubular tip idk which one is better for surfcasting like u do in this video ✌🏽 maybe u could help me out. Thank you
Looks like the boat at the end is the same from the, fishing from my truck video. I have a question about the camera gear you use. I am trying to get me some camera gear and would love to get some insight on the mos affordable but quality gear. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also, love when you and the crew do the cooking parts too. Looks tasty.
To help fix your zipper use some paraffin or candle wax helps reduce friction and doesn’t have chemicals that will breakdown your neoprene. Just rub the wax on the zipper teeth and work the zipper up and down a few times.
Great post. I love your sinkers what brand caddie wagon are you using ? I also bring two gallons of fresh water to rinse my reels at the end of the day. I just use old gallon milk jugs. Any tips on reading the surf? How do you choose your spots ?
Love this video !! Thank You for being so detailed and sharing your knowledge and info !!! Just one Question because I'm new to all of this. Would these techniques work in Florida?
Awesome video. I will be headed down to Florida at our timeshare on the Gulf side and for ease of use can I just use Fish Bites? I heard great things about them. Thanks.
I'm a Newb. Look forward to Learning Alot from You Guys & Catch Fish here in Saipan.

Most important thing you need to bring is your patience
When you get your line tangled
You are right about this one.
And a rod
@@firstcastfishing2240 lmao
Amen
Watching hey skipper I have learned so much about the basics hooks, line, rods and reels. Each time I watch I learn something new.

This was a great video, I like how you showed how far you cat out. You showed from baiting the hook to releasing the fish. Very helpful, thank you!!!!!
anybody else get excited when you get notifications from his videos
You rock Hugo!

what is the video with the tips you talking about?
Love the channel you guys are better than watching boring TV shows people learn a lot from you.
I just love your passion and attention to detail. And your awesome openness to share your experience. Thank you both. I’ve learned so much from your video’s.
Thank you, I make sure to focus on these things:) nice to hear some reassurance
ANDE is my go to leader line since I learned how to tie my own knots back in early 80s
Just a great video. Not only beginners, but also experienced fishermen (/people) can get value from your contributions. Please keep it up!
Thanks so much David, I really appreciate it

Been loving this surf fishing series. Great job Brendon and Erin.🍻🍻👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you from us both! We appreciate the support:)
I'm here in Ireland and have started to tie rigs mackerel works best and wrag worms but your right it is all about local bait sources
@Buffoon Lagoon Fishing it would have to be sea bass they are so hard fighting and also taste delicious there is a limit per person to keep the numbers managed
A slick tip for putting in sand spikes(and tent pegs). I use a 2# dumbbell ...also comes in handy if you need to knock out some fish. Tight Lines!
I feel warm from feeling this video full of sunshine. Fun watching while it's freezing cold and raining outside. NIce video
Thanks guys for your tips on surf fishing I moved recently to South Africa I am excited one of the loves of my life fishing stay blessed .
I have three surf rod and reels I bought for $20 (total) at a yard sale. Two 12ft and one 15ft. All three have 20 pound mono on them. I use a Walmart high/low rig with circle hooks. Haven't lost a fish yet but then again I haven't gotten anything huge yet.
I also use 1.5 inch pvc pipe with one end cut into a spike as rod holders.
What a great deal!!!
Phenix is a huge brand over here in Southern California. Used for yellowtail to tuna, we get 8-10 foot ones and use them to cast surface irons. I personally used to own a phenix axis 8’. Great rod overall. Ended up giving that one to a buddy and got a shimano teramar
Why the switch?
@@ForgivenSheep3 my buddy deserves it. He’s wanted an axis for a long long time. Works hard but Never made the money to buy one because of his living expenses. So I gave mine to him and I got something new
You’re a good friend. 👍
Another good video. I have a 10ft Lamiglas and just ordered an 11 ft 3 to 8 oz for the Cape Cod canal.
Nice! My next rod will probably be a lamiglass or a century
I may get a St Croix and hear ODM rods are excellent as well. You convinced me on the Shimano reels. I used to be a Penn person but don't think the quality is there anymore.

@heyskipper try use candle wax on your boot zippers to keep them running smoothly. You're welcome from Australia.

Hey skipper, awesome beach fishing series. Would be great to see some catch and cook episodes 👍
Sure! Let me see if I can put some catch and cool footage in the next video
that was nice, seeing the 2 rods going at it one right after the other. Good for you.
I love your content. I would love if you could come to California again to do more content. Info online is lacking around me and hardly compares to yours.

15:36 Who else was like: "DUDE! DUDE! Behind YOU!!!"???
I pointed at the laptop screen
me mate! i had a good old laugh at myself also thinking he cant hear you lol
Wait, why were there two Erins??? I’m so confused
LOL!
Glitch in the Matrix
Could be her twin sister.
I think it was the lucky combination of an Erin and an Emma. Both names are very lucky for anglers.
I was too... Then they have a clip where both woman are in a frame.
What rod and reel set up would you recommend for fishing Spanish or blues with lures?
How important are tides when surf fishing? Does that play into when you go and what bites?
It could but it it could not it depends what you are fishing for mullet no but fish like Spanish or blues yes
where I fish in the sand I really enjoy doing, but the waves are very big, it can reach 2 meters and 3 meters, in this channel I learn more, greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩

You said Sea Striker !!! I work on that boat, it won the big money in last years Big Rock !
Haha! What a coincidence
I watched your videos all day today, took a little break and spent 600 dollars on fishing gear. You inspire me to go back to the ocean.
@Hey Skipper, why do you use leader over wire? Is there any reason of using leaders over wires?
Tried surf fishing yesterday for the first time, LOVED it! I wish I had watched this first though. Love watching your stuff!
Dude, these videos are awesome! I used to go beach fishing with my dad and grandfather in Virginia Beach early in the mornings and it was soo fun catching spot and croakers alotta times twice on those double rigs using bloodworms...your videos bring back great memories and info...Great Job!
Do you have a video talking about your truck setup? If not you should do one. I'm curious to know what kinda rack and tent your using
I live in Australia this guy is a absolute legend he is one of the best fisherman u can find on UA-cam he needs his own fishing RV show
I meant tv
Erin should do her own show, she's got it dialed in!!Good video looks like you folks having fun!
Could you use this for fresh water fishing ?
Absolutely, been using the same exact rigs hes using for years in freshwater and saltwater
Hey skipper … you got beaches of Australian fisherman like no other.....all my support and love from down under 👍👍👍
Hey Skipper I just got the deluxe kit I order from you and very happy with it ,hopeing to catch lots of fish this weekend..I have a question, im wanting to order a second box ,but the empty one so I can have 2 boxes ,one for the squid and one with the shrimp and clam.but im wanting to know if you sale the salt or the stuff you keep it fresh in so when I catch bait I can keep it in with the shrimp also ,couse its not enough salt to hold bait and the shrimp together.
Hey Louis thanks for the support! I do not sell the salt mixture, however I will give you extra salt if you request it in a note during checkout:)
Me and my family are going to Panama City for vacation I like to fish when I’m on vacation but never do very good what do you suggest for fishing from the beach in Panama City in late July
Can you please recommend us what type of fishing rod and reel is best for beginners?
I say start with an okuma or a penn if you are begginner
@@HeySkipper Thanks, sir! I'm planning to buy my first ever fishing gear. I'm using a cane pole for now.
I have a few questions. What is it about Sputnik weights that you like? Do they ever get stuck in the sand? Also, you talk about a high low rig and a fish finder rig. Is there an advantage of one over the other? When would you use one instead of the other? Thank you.

you got me inspired to go out surf fishing...your video is very informative, fun and educational...
This helped me prep for my first trip to the bait and tackle store
Love your videos. You mentioned camping where do you usually go beach camping or what places allows beach camping that you've been to?
Just what I needed before going to the Alabama gulf shore, great video and fun to watch!!!!

Do you have videos of washing your gear after surf fishing, for beginners? Thank you.
Hey I need some of those salty clams and squids for fishing 🎣 up here in Niantic connecticut.
You two have nice videos. I’m just starting out and will be surf fishing Myrtle Beach mostly off season. The audio is a little problem. When you catch a fish and hold it up, it would help if you said what kind of a fish, if it’s good eating, what bait used, the size, the legal size required and if your going to keep it and why.
Great video ! Thank you. When would you use bait threads, for what type of bait ?
What reel would you reccomend for a person on a budget
A lot of people like KastKing, good budget price. Check Amazon. Skipper also used them in the past
Penn Pursuit series, good reels at a $50-ish price point. Wouldn't recommend going with anything cheaper than that, you'll destroy reels pretty quick in the surf if you do.
Do you use the sharky 3 baitrunner for beach fishing?
Great content...!! What type of fish were you targeting? The reason behind the question, is everything I saw was being thrown back. Fishing for content and rod and reel setups, ok. Got it.

Putting the sputniks in the bucket is a great tip! I'll have to do that! They can be a pain to store!

love your waders but they are no longer in stock, love how the belt workd!@ nice video.
You two are the best. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you. Cheers.
Pretty awesome skipper!
Looking forward to fishing with you in California if your on the west
Maybe I missed your video of you introduced your new truck? What engine is that, a 4.6L or 5.7L?

Hey skipper what's the braided line pound test
Love this video !! Thank You for being so detailed and sharing your knowledge and info !!! Just one Question because I'm new to all of this. Would these techniques work in Florida?
Awesome video. I will be headed down to Florida at our timeshare on the Gulf side and for ease of use can I just use Fish Bites? I heard great things about them. Thanks.
How do you tie your shock leader to your main line ? And how long is your shock leader ? And you should try cut crab next surf video
I use what’s called a slim beauty knot
.
Where did you get this cart from that hooks to the hitch ?? i need one like yesterday
I'm a Newb. Look forward to Learning Alot from You Guys & Catch Fish here in Saipan.
Hello from Portugal.
Fishing with braid in winter or with ruffer seas, my rods are always "dancing around".
WHT do you do, if you do, to keep the rods as still as possible?
Thanks
What type of rack system do you have on your truck for carrying your rods?
Where did you get your fishing wagon for the beach.
