Bob this is one of your best fishing videos yet for so many reasons, your style is so kool & your descriptive explanations while in LIVE Mode make it all the more better...& then at the end aside from the culinary delights of the catch of the day we are brought into a few personal minutes of closeup dialog that was simply amazing getting to see the face & voice behind the curtain...Thank you so much can't wait to see what you'll treat us with next..
Appreciate you watching Coneyisland1952, thank you for the kind words. The fall fishing should be pretty solid in a couple months, there is a ton of bait around and right on schedule
@@CKosa Right on, he's in a bunch of my videos I just keep his face private. I don't know if this screen name is yours or not, the handles seem to change but did you take a picture holding a schoolie bass with my go pro?
I look forward to seeing your videos on youtube. Great way to start my day or end it. Hope to run into you one of these days. Got my first big striper under the BKb a few weeks back.
Wow great video. It was so exciting watching I could feel it. Those cownose rays fight like no tomorrow. And nice to see you eat blueish. I love eating them a lot of people do not like them. Again great video
Blues are great. Something about that fishy taste throws people off but I really enjoy that part of them. It contrasts and pairs well with a lot of dishes. Thank you bigbuck9984
Never caught a sting ray on artificial always on the bottom with a piece of bait that was crazy! You all keep those flounders sometimes I know we love them down here. Good video man.!
It hit like jig like a topwater blowup, tail did that sideways flap out of the water like a game fish strike. Usually I snag them by accident but I think it actually wanted the jig haha
The ocean’s been too windy and rough around here. Luckily I found a spot in the bay with cover from the wind and have been rippin’ blues and fluke for the last couple of days. It’s been a blast.
Thank you bud! There is still some good fishing opportunities just a little tougher from shore. Great time of year if you got a boat/kayak but kinda tough on the shore angler. It'll get better real soon
Thank you artvandelay418, I'll try and incorporate that into the next beach session. There is a ton of great dedicated videos on that subject already. If you are having trouble just look for rip currents, waves moving toward one another in a triangle formation. Easier way to break it down
@@BobAquatic Hey Bob! Thanks for responding to my note. I just got a couple of epoxy jigs and would appreciate your views on how to use them in the surf for flounder. Do you use the standard "twitch, twitch, pause" action or do you do something else? For blues do you just retrieve fast throughout? Many thanks! Del
@@delmonicofarquhar9893 for the surf I’ll switch it up to slack line snaps off the bottom and the twitch twitch like you mentioned. Just find bottom contact the whole time. Straight retrieve for blues works great with the epoxy because you get broke off less often from them biting the line. They seem to like a faster retrieve when they’re feeding on rain bait, not sure why
wish I had the same confidence in lures. Fished a spot the other day for 2.5 hrs with lures, nothing. As soon as I put bait in the water the fish kept coming. Great vid as usual.
Baits #1. Really depends on the area too. Artificial can work great under the right conditions but baits just the best. Hope your having fun out there, cheers bud!
Hey bob I recently started watching your videos and I really enjoyed watching ur videos I just needed a tip on the best bait/lures for catch striped bass.
Hey it is a g loomis gcx inshore rod here is a link: amzn.to/3LWLKFP , The reel is a Penn clash ii 2000 link: amzn.to/3AkIzoP , Then at the end of the video I switched to a 4000 size Penn Clash I keep in my bag when the current runs faster, link to that reel: amzn.to/46NXa8j
Hi Bob - I just found your channel. You probably know this already but I'll say it anyway. Maybe a few other people will find this useful as well. Get a pair of Korkers Rocktrax cleats or something similar. They clip into normal everyday footwear. The last thing you want is to slip and fall on those slimy rocks. It only takes one bad step and you can go down. See Bob's response below. I stand corrected.
You just want carbon spikes or felt shoes. Don’t matter the brand, you can get carbide spikes for cheap and drill them into boots. The slip on korkers with the straps are an excellent way to roll your ankle and I don’t recommend them. I personally wear the korkers boots with carbide spikes and a helmet. Thank you for watching
@@BobAquatic Thanks for the quick response and the info. I haven't done any rock hopping in a few years. It was never a regular thing for me. I wore the slip-ons out of convenience. I appreciate the details. Now I know there are major drawbacks to that design. I'm glad you take your personal safety seriously. I don't want to see anybody get hurt unnecessarily doing something they love.
thank you for watching the episode. its a hogy epoxy jig 7/8, here is a link: amzn.to/46H8y5G , and a pink spro bucktail 2oz, here is a link: amzn.to/3SGXjVa
i swear those little blues destroyed most of my tackle over the past few seasons. Not just the soft plastics, but literal first cast with topwater tsunami popper the hook and split ring got chomped off.
@@arsfishing dang sorry they got you. They’re a ruthless species. I don’t fish soft plastics this time of year, too costly. Always metals and bucktails till the water cools off. Then it’s back to the paddle tail fun. Cheers bud have fun out there!
Always do, I love how you fish the city. I live and grew up across the hudson in NJ on the palisades cliffs. Im not kidding when I say this, there are spots I have that no one has ever fished. they require a little hike down, and then up the cliffs. nice workout and late nights out there get me spooked at deer. But this one spot i found literally is PERFECT for fishing and gorgeous. Many nights only catfish. But the one night I had... ill never forget. bass after bass. prettiest night too.
You talk a lot early in the video about really scouting out the beach, I understand looking for troughs and sandbars, but I really dont get how you're able to actually see fish out there on the beach, especialy from the beach angle
@@kabirsingh1159a lot of it is instinct to be perfectly honest. You’ll know the difference with bait and fish disturbance in the water with enough time. Pair of good polarized glasses go far too

Agreed. I hope his channel does well. Cool dude can feel the humility.

That ray catch was sick 😂
@@nghunt6329 I was siked! The big ones usually spool me out but that ray wanted to come say hey. 10lb test
Is that a g loomis rod
The guy who gave you the blue is a legend btw
@@Recon-go7yg we’ve been friends a while, that makes me happy to hear someone call him a legend. Deserves that title
@@BobAquatic He is truly a legend and I love fishing with him. Once I heard his voice I knew it was him in the video.
@@CKosa Right on, he's in a bunch of my videos I just keep his face private. I don't know if this screen name is yours or not, the handles seem to change but did you take a picture holding a schoolie bass with my go pro?
Hey Bob! You are brave dude ,to get to that spot over slippery rocks isn't easy ,love your videos.
Thank you nihadsubasic5760, its pretty dangerous out there. Appreciate you watching the channel
Motivating me to go out in the bad weather tmmw. Always look for a bob aquatic vid when I get into work! Tight lines man always on them
Hope you get on em tomorrow! The rough weather can be pretty fishy
The excitement in your voice conveys your passion for fishing!
I use to make a smoked fish dip with Blues..
Fishing is the best, I wish I could have a smoker in the city. That sounds so delicious. Thank you fishn365
I look forward to seeing your videos on youtube. Great way to start my day or end it. Hope to run into you one of these days. Got my first big striper under the BKb a few weeks back.
Thank you Mike_V, appreciate you watching the episode. Congrats on that striper. Hope to run into you one day!

Made me nervous sticking your fingers near that treble even with the little snapper blues lol
Was happy to see you pull out the pliers.
@@Dan-yh4uz thank you for watching Dan, I don’t use treble hooks much anymore. It’s a single hook replacement, easier on the fish
Never caught a sting ray on artificial always on the bottom with a piece of bait that was crazy! You all keep those flounders sometimes I know we love them down here. Good video man.!

Looks like a great day!
Thank you Paul, it was a fun time out there

I feel that, its rough out there. Glad you found a spot to fish and stay out of the wind. Thank you for watching the episode
Great Video as Always! Fun Day!
I've been waiting for the Blues to come back threw there.
I'm done with these Searobins bro!
Can't wait for Sept!
Thank you bud! There is still some good fishing opportunities just a little tougher from shore. Great time of year if you got a boat/kayak but kinda tough on the shore angler. It'll get better real soon
Another stella video. You should do a video on how to read the beach. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you artvandelay418, I'll try and incorporate that into the next beach session. There is a ton of great dedicated videos on that subject already. If you are having trouble just look for rip currents, waves moving toward one another in a triangle formation. Easier way to break it down
Anything that nails blues (and mackerel) will end up in my tackle box. Good video. Thanks!
Thank you! I always keep them in my bag year round, great multi-species lure

Had a similar shark encounter on the bay side
That time of year, they are all over feeding up
Amazing video keep up the good work
Thank you FinnNbonesFishing
Great video man, was wondering if you got in on any of the cobia action recently? heard there were a lot of them in the area
@@fredrickthebird1756 more of a boat thing, I don’t have that kinda money to be going out on a boat to the bunker schools
Good job brothah!
Thank you Josephvaldez936
I’ll be in upstate New York until November, would love to fish with you in be the big city one day
Hope you get a chance to fish in the city in November! Thank you for watching the channel robertbenitz1815
Hey bob I recently started watching your videos and I really enjoyed watching ur videos I just needed a tip on the best bait/lures for catch striped bass.
the best lure for striped bass is the buck tail jig, appreciate you watching the episode, thank you
The first few casts, were you letting the lure hit the bottom repeatedly during the retrievals?
The goal should be to bounce bottom like the moon man walking through space. Zero gravity but still enough weight to reach bottom
where is this spot at the location and city?
Hey Bob tell about that rod and reel your using

Quick question. What's a good size hook to replace the treble. I just ordered the jigs and definitely wanna go to a single hook
@@SC-zb9fq I believe that one is 1/0. I’m at work but there should be a link to the VMC hooks in the description. Just make sure they’re 3x saltwater
@@BobAquatic thanks
3:36 thought you hooked a doormat
That would've been awesome. Those things usually spool me but it was cool to get my jig back
Where beach is this ? Great video go fish at cross bay bridge u will kill it there
been meaning to film a video over there, its a fun place to fish. Thank you DemetriGalban
