About to go fishing on the Jersey shore in the morning. I got some gulp, do I just put it on the hook and cast it? Do I need a weight or anything else? Right now my rod is set up with a weight, swivel (I think), and a hook that has the shiny tale thing you used it the video. (Sorry I’m new to this haha)
Its ok! It is all a little confusing at first but will make sense soon. If you are on the shore, you will need a little weight to get to the bottom. Drag the gulp really slow along the bottom with little "twitches" as you reel in.
@@BobAquaticthanks for advice man! tried around noon today and no bites, but I know I should’ve gone earlier, also there was a big sandbar. Going back out later
hey mandrinvuthatj4543. It is a G Loomis steelhead rod. I wouldn't recommend it for most applications in salt water honestly. I just use it for particular methods. Not a great all around rod. Reel is a Penn Clash II 2000, I highly recommend that reel, here is a link: amzn.to/4cgDZFq
Hey man I’m in Suffolk county getting into fishing for the first time in my life. After some extensive research I’ve finally got almost everything I need to get going. Just wanted to know What process do you recommend I take in finding good spots to go fishing at. I’m tried at a couple local marina’s as well as sore thumb beach and a few others but I haven’t had any good luck aside from a few bites and a few that got away. Haven’t gotten anything rewarding yet. Any insight on how I can find more places would be helpful. I have found that everyone in the community out here for some reason tends to gate keep locations lol
I would download navionics and learn the structure of your area. Take it to spots you already know and look at the depths based on your location. Cross areas off the list that are good or bad. Ask yourself, why would a fish be here? Is there bait? Is there structure? You might have an incredible spot in your backyard. If you are worried about that gate keeping mentality, you are already fishing wrong. Fish move around and spots only matter if you understand how the tides affect them differently. Keep a log book of your catches
@@ConeyIsland1952 hey coney, it’s a gulp sandeel. The one I had is silver/black. Not sure if they make other colors but the ones I get are silver/black and look like an albie snack
@@BobAquatic very interesting as a Bass angler sometimes I'd like to go try Saltwater fishing off the beaches I am so close and your videos are very informative and what weight Jig do you use Thank you
Does being enrolled in the marine fishing registry counts as a fishing permit in this area? I was watching this place and there’s a sign saying that you need a fishing permit to be there. Sorry I’m not that familiar with permits and licenses in NY.
hey, not too sure. I get permits through the DEC depending on the state. NY has a DEC website you can get permits from and is required to fish from this pier. They do check sometimes so its best not to risk it
The permit that the sign is talking about is probably for parking and night fishing. You can fish there with a free saltwater license but you need a permit to be able to park there and to be there at night.
The drag was not set correctly and sometimes I will do that to get a feel of how I need to adjust it without turning the dial. Turning the drag dial while fighting a fish can be a no no because drags can slip and you can lose the fish from lack of tension
I was here yesterday , I spent 3 hours casting and trying different lures and baits but no luck. You make it look so easy. May I ask, how long is your rod? I was using a 7 feet rod.
@@ponci1119 I use 7ft for fluke. This is a 9ft this day but could’ve done the same with a 7. You don’t want a long rod for fluke, your wrist will get tired quickly
Its crazy, me and my buddy were out for 2 weeks fishing almost the same exact waters and caught 0 fish, we would have been happy with a sea robin. you Just casually stroll out and catch multiple keepers
It can be hit or miss in NYC. Especially when the waters warm up. But they are out there. I learn a lot when I get skunked personally, and write down the conditions. It's helpful to compare to a really good day. Usually you can pattern out the reasoning. Thank you for watching ironsix
@@BobAquatic I guess, even if we dont catch anything we got a nice day of exercise out in the sun. We're gonna try seagate next. Rumor has it the flounders are biting
Weather and tides, moon phase. I spend a ton of time prepping fishing trips dialing it all in beforehand. It doesn’t always work out, but pattern fishing is how my brain breaks it down and is very productive
Hey bob. I’m one of your biggest fans, I’ve seen all your vids. I really enjoy them, thanks for the consistency. What time of day do you typically fish? I’m down here in the dmv where the fishing can be hit or miss. Curious to know when they bite, where you are
@@reeldrytv hey reeldrytv, thank you for the support. There are about four bites per daily cycle. Morning/evening dawn & dusk. Then there are two tidal bites. They typically occur on the beginning and end of the tides. I don’t have an exact answer to this because every year cycle is different and you have to adjust daily to the tide.
Wow amazing to see you hook up with some fish there and I didn’t go today because I was hesitant if they were gonna have anything lol 😂, btw what time range were you out there at?
Now that's a nice day had! Catching at a few diff spots. A few diff species! Thanks for taking us along with ya! I frequently use that rig also. The bucktail tipped w sand eel. What size bucktail was that Bob? 1oz or less?
Hey! Yeah I love spot hopping with the waders. Thank you for watching bud, this was a 1/2oz bucktail im pretty sure. Probably could’ve gotten away with 1/4
You're reeling in too fast for the flounder to see the bait. The flounder lie on the floor. You must let your bait sink down far enough so they can see it. Both eyes are the same side for a reason. They are looking up for prey to the swim by. Try it, you'll like it. That's why you're getting everything but fluke.
That happens, especially as the waters warming on the new and full moon. Current moves the seaweed around. Try the ocean side if its bad like that or the river
Hey Steve hope you are doing well. Some anglers in NYC get mad at me when I mention spots so it’s just easier to avoid it. I’ve been confronted in person about it and don’t want to get bullied anymore. Hope you understand
@@BobAquatic i cant believe someone confronted you in person about that. As far as I know you do a good job of not mentioning spots. I dont quite get these dudes that get so bent about spot burning. Public beaches are out there for everyone to enjoy. Keep doing your thing! I've got your back Bob! Hate F***ing Bullies!
Nice to see someone appreciating the robins every once in a while!
Robbins play a big role in the circle, they’re awesome and taste great too
Last time I went out fishing I found one spot and caught like 5 Robbins in like 5 minutes and it was pretty fun
@@DylDraws catching Robbins is a lot of fun
Robins right exactly like fluke. They stop running a bit sooner than fluke but even the small ones are fun to fight.
Love your content, great videos. POV action. You’re showing weights, you’re showing baits , everything someone needs to understand fishing. Thank you.
@@scottsimpson2265 thank you Scott! Hope you are having a fun fishing season
Love this guy’s commentary
Thank you John
Nice to see your video again. Awesome variety catch
Thank you AZ! Always great to hear from you

@@BobAquatic cool, do you think I should go gulp right on the hook, or use a bucktail or pre set up fluke rig? I also have some squid strips for bait
@@Minebender9 if you can learn the bucktail, you'll catch a ton of fish. Its pretty easy to use too. Put the gulp on bucktails hook like a trailer
@@BobAquaticthanks for advice man! tried around noon today and no bites, but I know I should’ve gone earlier, also there was a big sandbar. Going back out later
Havin Fun Dude! good for you bud, nice vid! Ethical anglers keep them in the water! I laughed at the Blue "Yellow-eyed Devil"
Those blues run the city in the summer. Really cool species. Thank you for watching ffdar9119!
what bag is that?
Did you fish 2 different spots in this video?
Looking phenomenal. Love your work. Would you mind telling what’s the combo of rood and real.thank you.
hey mandrinvuthatj4543. It is a G Loomis steelhead rod. I wouldn't recommend it for most applications in salt water honestly. I just use it for particular methods. Not a great all around rod. Reel is a Penn Clash II 2000, I highly recommend that reel, here is a link: amzn.to/4cgDZFq
Videos like this one reinforce the doctrine of fishermen's eternal optimism. LOL.
Thank you delmonicofarquhar9893. I agree you gotta stay optimistic, cheers bud!
Where is this location where you’re fishing at?
Bob love your Fishing Videos Bro what size Penn Clash II is it cus i want to buy one ?
What’s up bud! That one is a 2000 size. It’s really fun setup for moving around spot bouncing
what rod and reel are u using?
Nice, I bet those flukes are great eating.
Fluke is a pretty tasty fish, I prefer more oily type species but the plain flavor of fluke is easy to cook with in a variety of dishes
Fillet then roll them up around some stuffing
whats your set up?rod,reel,line jighead?
Its all linked in the description, thank you for watching
What is the rod setup you are using?
What size and power rod did you use here? Thanks
9ft Medium fast
What size jig head are you using. I’ve been trying out the single jig technique and haven’t had much success with it yet
That is a 1/4 ounce jig head. Thanks for watching!
Wheres that at if u dont mind sir
@@sung804mane7 thank you for watching
What is your retrieve method with the bucktail and gulp?
Bounce bottom

@@BobAquatic great advice truly grateful for this ! Will definitely do this !
Hello~ What fishing pole size? 7ft or 8ft? medium speed? fast speed? Thank you
I think that one is 9ft, it’s a 50/50 steelhead rod I’ve been messing around with for flats fishing
Hey Bob do you think those gulp will work in Fresh Water or no
Yes but you’ll want the red package gulp. I believe that’s for freshwater, I’m sure the saltwater version will work too.
@@BobAquatic Thanks Again Sir
Nice video.....and what type of sand color bait were you using...?
@@ConeyIsland1952 hey coney, it’s a gulp sandeel. The one I had is silver/black. Not sure if they make other colors but the ones I get are silver/black and look like an albie snack

what’s the best time to go fishing?
Whenever you have free time honestly, I plan trips and also spontaneously walk out the door. Both work, have fun out there
He is fishing my favorite spots!:) I miss those spots….
Hope you’re having a fun season!
@@BobAquatic Where is this place? 😄
you invading Mario's spot. OOOOO- weeeeeee!
Oh yeah watch out Mario
Nice! Newbie here. Why do you pull line out of the reel after you hook the fish?
The drag was not set correctly and sometimes I will do that to get a feel of how I need to adjust it without turning the dial. Turning the drag dial while fighting a fish can be a no no because drags can slip and you can lose the fish from lack of tension
@@BobAquatic Great feedback. Thank you!
Try the gulp jerk shad. Pink and pepper chartreuse has been working.
Heck ya, they work well. I’ll have to try that pepper chartreuse. Thanks bud fish on
What bridge is that
Hey bud, I can't mention exact spots on here but it should be pretty easy to figure out with google maps
@@BobAquaticI understand but I’m not from NY and I do t recognize the bridge that’s why I can’t google it
It’s called gatekeepers bridge
Damn bro, good day.

you feel like the tides influence when you go or it doesnt really matter
Weather and tides, moon phase. I spend a ton of time prepping fishing trips dialing it all in beforehand. It doesn’t always work out, but pattern fishing is how my brain breaks it down and is very productive
I wonder if that jig would work well at a pier ?nice vid btw!

Looks like Jamaica bay train bridge

Man I been trynna get into fishing but i don’t know any good surf spot on Long Island and neither do I even know what I’m doing
We all gotta start somewhere. The best spot is always closest to home, its fun to learn your area first or wherever is the closest water.
I caught so many gator blues there last week no fluke :( But porgies in mid-July and a quiet beach
Congrats on the blues! Yeah that areas sorta like a highway, catch fish as they pass through. Fluke fishing from shore has been tough but it'll pickup
@BobAquatic went to the windmill and caught monster stripers two days back at around 11 Am i was trying to catch fluke thats I love my bucktails
Ah yea, you were on em! Sounds like a lot of fun
Now that's a nice day had!
Catching at a few diff spots. A few diff species!
Thanks for taking us along with ya!
I frequently use that rig also. The bucktail tipped w sand eel.
What size bucktail was that Bob? 1oz or less?
Hey! Yeah I love spot hopping with the waders. Thank you for watching bud, this was a 1/2oz bucktail im pretty sure. Probably could’ve gotten away with 1/4

Went there on past monday and too much seaweed hard to fish only hand one fluke
That happens, especially as the waters warming on the new and full moon. Current moves the seaweed around. Try the ocean side if its bad like that or the river
I know you don't eat the fish there but does anyone else?
I like to eat the fish sometimes, especially the blues.
Is that Jamaica Bay
