    Because of YOU bro, I just caught my first big striper EVER!! My ultimate PB isn’t that big, but 28.5” and 9lbs is HUGE to ME!! I’m 46 and have been river fishing striper my whole life since I was 7 with my Grandpa. HE used to bring in 20’s by the PAIR on surf leaders in the river. I went and bought all your stuff. But what I ended up trying, because I wanted to cast further, was the ol’ buck tail setup. I haven’t tried your stuff yet but it’s obviously fire. Thank you for reuniting the fire of fishing inside me and I’m passing it down to my two sons as we speak! Thank you bro!!

    I did go to Dillon beach.
    Watching your show help me map out the beach.
    Finding fish was not a problem.
    Hooking them took talent I need practice.
    You have to be quick.
    I did take home 4 two barred two red fin.
    Mmmm not my favorite fish to eat.
    I will try eating them again.
    I’ll filet them and make fish sandwiches.

      Just watching surf fishing videos on YT from guys in your area opens up all kinds of avenues. Then use Google Maps to research other beaches that are worth fishing. That's how I started, just four months ago. This channel has years of surf fishing videos, of catching fish and more importantly, drone footage of how to read the beach and how the fish position themselves in the ever-changing topography. @@ReptilianUnion

    Awesome video, I'm new to the channel and I love your content!!
    Really appreciate you mentioning you wouldn't have wiped the sand off had you not decided to keep the Striper, as covering a fish in sand to then wipe it off is the best way to remove all of the slime, which is essential for protection against infections and parasites. handy trick for keepers though as it makes the processing later much easier.

    So for the stripper did you bleed it? Stab the head or just bag it? Just curious since I just started surf fishing and am thinking about keeping some fish

    • @Hook2Cook
      @Hook2Cook  11 днів тому +1

      Bleed every fish you keep. You do this by cutting or ripping the gills or the membrane under the gills. I’ve seen it done other ways

      @Hook2Cook  4 місяці тому +1

      Diawa j braid 8x has been good for me. I’ve been trying the battlestar alien braid and it’s been good too since it was made with surf in mind.

      @@Hook2Cook Fsho bro thank you. And thatl be good enough to cast both Carolina rigs and jerk baits with that same main line attached to a leader? I’m also gunna tie on a leader I did see u show a Pline leader for ur leader on one of ur videos. Do u recommend anything thatl compliment the Diawa line? I will be spoiling these lines on a Diawa 3000 Saltist. Your awesome bro!

    • @Hook2Cook
      @Hook2Cook  4 місяці тому

      sounds like a great combo. I always tie a leader to the end of the braid. the FG knot has been the best for me using mono. you can use it both for jerkbaits and carolina rigs.

    Dude! Please do not go into the ocean water like you do. It’s the under tow water that’ll knock you down and drag you out underwater. Your waders will fill up and also weigh you down. Everything moves fast before you know it. It’s not worth it.
    Stay on the waters edge from the beach, if anything. No need to get yourself in trouble just for a few “more “ yards of casting your line.
    Always think SAFETY Be safe 🙏🏼✨
