The Secret to Catching BIG Fish at the Pier! (Simple Pier Fishing Tip)

  • Опубліковано 12 лют 2020
  • I have found the secret to catching some of the biggest, strongest, fish on the pier: JUMBO live shrimp! The snook off this pier go CRAZY for them. These fish are picky: you have to have the perfect ultralight setup for these snook to come anywhere near your hook. What’s your favorite setup for catching snook?
    Today, we are at Sebastian Inlet State Park in Florida, on the hunt to find the best fishing spots around. The Snook here are HUNGRY for the biggest shrimp we can find. After some frustrating attempts, I catch my FIRST SNOOK EVER (and he is HUGE)! Do you like fishing for Snook? What is the biggest one you’ve caught?

    Make sure when your tightening down your knots especially the one you retied after you broke off, you wet the knot before tightening. It lubricates the line so it doesn't rub against itself so hard. Nice catch too!

    great video! i was in florida for the first time in december 2019 staying in the tampa area for a month. got my fishing license and went fishing at one of the piers, buying some raw shrimp - not live like yours - along the way and fished like i've done from piers in california. caught abought a 16" snook - first one ever. i asked a guy what kind of fish it was, he said snook and out of season and i said it's my first one and he replied that some guys fish and fish and have never caught one!

    • @TiltedGames
      @TiltedGames 2 роки тому +2

      As a lifelong Tampa resident I can attest he was right. Shrimp get hoovered by anything in the ocean, and dead ones even faster than live. Snook will eat dead shrimp but they are active predators and prefer live food. You got a very rare snag with a decent size snook on dead shrimp, right place at the right time! Nice job!
