Good info Cap'n! I always use a popping cork near the oyster rakes and walk the tide up with different leaders as the tide rises. Like you say,this is a very effective way to catch fish! I also jump up and down like a ten year old when that cork goes under cause you dont always know what you're gonna catch!😂Thanks!
Definitely one of my favorite ways to fish, especially with a DOA shrimp at the end of the line. Super blessed to have a hubby that has showed me the best ways to fish to catch the most fish possible! ;)
Hi Joshua, Thanks for another good video. I use a similar setup, but the one I use has an adjustable depth so you can easily adjust the depth of your bait to different depths of water without cutting off your current fluorocarbon and retying a different length line on which is a big time waster. The one I use is a Betts Low Country Lightning #770-O-Y. This one has a yellow bobber. I think Betts also offers it in a red colored bobber . I typically use a piece of Fluorocarbon about 5 to 6 foot long. To make the adjustable depth work I tie bobber stopper knots above and below bobber. Then you can easily adjust your depth while fishing. If they are not biting at one depth you can easily change it to another. The fluorocarbon travels though a brass tube which allows for depth adjustment. Occasionally one of both of the bobber stopper knots will loosen up. If this happens just tie another next to it and you are back in business. The Betts Low Country Lightning #770 - 0-Y is my flats fishing go to setup. John
At 4:02, by the "pot hole" aka sandy part, you can see a fish swim away pretty quickly. haha. Cool video man, like always! I fish a popping cork and cut pins as bait. I have had the most success that way. Lures are great, but... I like being lazy and...ya... Haha.
Always enjoy your shows Joshua . At times I'll use the pooping cork when fish don't want plastics, and almost immediately they strike the popping cork. Great video bro. Tight lines never stop brother!!!!
Joshua, one other tip is after you listen to them, watch carefully when you release them which way they go because they Always go tell their big friends. Great informative video! 😛
Great info, looks like you're in my area! We just moved here and I'm trying to get all squared away to get my daughters out on the water and catch some fish! Thanks man!.
Good evening Joshua I have never use a popping cork I'm going to try it now of course I have to go to the East Coast or West Coast to do it I live in Moore Haven Florida at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee fantastic video thanks again
Thumbs up Josh. This was the gateway live shrimp set up for me. You said his was in your top 3. What are the other two? I'm still fairly new to salt water fishing and your tutorials have been instrumental to my new addiction. Thank you.
So you use that style cork in calmer waters and one with a cupped top if faced with windy conditions? Thanks for the simple tutorial. Very helpful and easy to understand
I love throwimg a poping cork expesuly in heavy wind when its hard to trow a lure and i rig them thruw the tail to make it look like they are fleeing when you are poping the cork, when i want them to flick on the top i use no weight but when i want to cover water i put a little spit shot on
Nice job, brother! Did you see that fish swim out of the grass, across the sand patch when you popped that cork? I use that Cajun Thunder all the time...it’s a Speck and Red killer. Keep up the great work👊🏻😎
Josh I have a question for you, have you ever had any success with the artificial shrimp on a pop cork? I've seen the rig in stores but never thought artificial would be as effective as live bait for this rig. I've had good luck with this rig in the past. Also I really enjoyed today's video. Tight lines
Just curious why your leader is heavier than you Main line ? I was always taught to run heavier mainline. A break awake on the sinker/ leader as a breakaway. So you don't have the fish run off with your spool
Wow that so incredible. Simply yet effective. I've never tried hooking them shrimp in the heads. Will definitely give it a try. Could this baiting method also work with frozen shrimp or dead ones?
Enjoy your videos watch at 4:04 to 4:06 approx as a fish darts away from popping cork on the right side through the pothole...i seem to have better luck in the clear water with small weighted styrofoam ones with a slit in them and the peg to hold it in place plus you can easliy change depth and remove it if you want without retying.
Hello there, I had a problem with rigging the live shrimp on top of it head.(behind about the horn) whenever I cast it, it slide off easily from my hook and lost me quite a few live shrimp I don't what is wrong?! I'm using gamakatsu octopus circle hook for it though... what do I do wrong??
Hey James, good reel if you are fighting smaller fish or freshwater fishing but if you tighten down the drag and try to bull dog redfish you will bust the gear teeth. I have with two already.
Hey Josh.. Great video brother.. Got a question though.. What's the difference in that popping cork and the others that are tapered with the beveled top? Is one better than the other? The other has a top like a popping lure,, but does that make it better.. Thanks for sharing the equipment and hook you use.. Keep up the great work.. A lways your friend, fan, and subscriber..
I’m so mad I’ve been fishing for the last 2 days and I’ve lost one thresher each day (I still haven’t landed one yet). The first one I lost was 7ft the second one was 5 1/2ft. Do u have any tips for landing thresher sharks?
So I’ve been fishing wrong XD. Been stationed here in Florida for 3 months so far, tryna do some fishing anywhere haven’t caught anything lol. Flats, jetties tried parks nothing. Lol been just throwing my bobbers/corks and leaving it there like catch me something please.
Would be nice.but up here in the North East,,I don`t think we have the ability to get live shrimp for bait...not that size anyway,,Grass Shrimp yes,but not anything of good size.

perfect video, short, to the point, showed the gear, showed the set-up, showed how to utilize...all in under 6 mins! Bravo Sir!!!
Had never tried a popping cork didn’t know what the purpose was. After watching your video. I will soon be buying one. Thank you.

Did everyone see the fish run when he started popping the cork from the drone view.
Yoo that look like a monster red or sum along the lines💯💯
Yeah saw that against the white structure
Got to love the old popping cork
Finally I feel I've been doing something right. Beautiful views captain thanks for another great video. Have blessed day
Thanks bud, glad you've been using this setup. It's deadly.
Heading out to use it for the first time this weekend. Thanks for the video.
Super informative video brotha! Eat this information up people!!!! It’s good stuff 💯
Always enjoy your shows Joshua . At times I'll use the pooping cork when fish don't want plastics, and almost immediately they strike the popping cork. Great video bro. Tight lines never stop brother!!!!
They love the noise that cork emits for sure.
Joshua, one other tip is after you listen to them, watch carefully when you release them which way they go because they Always go tell their big friends. Great informative video! 😛
Perfect timing homie, I've been thinking of using the cork lately down here in manatee county. Very informative brotha, appreciate ya.
Nice back to basics video. Good info. Thanks👍
You're welcome Gary, thanks for the comment.
Great info, looks like you're in my area! We just moved here and I'm trying to get all squared away to get my daughters out on the water and catch some fish! Thanks man!.
You make it look so easy to catch fish 🎣😎
For real man...catching fish is a pain in the ass to begin with where I'm at Im Fort Myers
Thanks! Very informative. I’m going to use the popping cork for the first time in islamorada in December.
Good info on one of my favorite rigd. I learned something when u pass the braid thru the cork twice. keep it up!!
Glad to help Big O
Great video Josh, you always keep it real
Thank Gary, we are about keeping it real and having fun.
poping cork is my go to for Red Drum, Snook and Mackarel...
I love using popping corks, keep up the good vids
Just bough one the other day and will be using it tomorrow morning, lets see how it works over in Titusville, thanks for the video.
Thanks for the info Larry
You are welcome Larry!
This was exactly what I needed. Great video 👍🏻
Good evening Joshua I have never use a popping cork I'm going to try it now of course I have to go to the East Coast or West Coast to do it I live in Moore Haven Florida at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee fantastic video thanks again
Ty for explaining how the poppin cork works
You are welcome!
Great tip!!! And no water bottle needed 😂👍🏾🎣
Thumbs up Josh. This was the gateway live shrimp set up for me. You said his was in your top 3. What are the other two? I'm still fairly new to salt water fishing and your tutorials have been instrumental to my new addiction. Thank you.
Great info and awesome video
Thanks Big Red 👊
Great video, as always. I plan on trying this my next trip out. Hopefully leading to a first keeper. Tyvm.
Very informative video you made thing simple
So you use that style cork in calmer waters and one with a cupped top if faced with windy conditions? Thanks for the simple tutorial. Very helpful and easy to understand
Good stuff!
Killer videos man.
Hey man Thank you for sharing keep it up!
Great information
Great info! Any particular conditions you look for when using this setup vs say free lining your bait? Thanks!
Great info I needed to learn about it because I have one but don't know how to use it
I'm new to your show ☺️ you show me alot thank you
Great vid tyty can u add split shot to it also if to light to cast better out there thx for your help
Good video!
Thanks 👍
I love throwimg a poping cork expesuly in heavy wind when its hard to trow a lure and i rig them thruw the tail to make it look like they are fleeing when you are poping the cork, when i want them to flick on the top i use no weight but when i want to cover water i put a little spit shot on
Nice, they do work well in windy conditions and it gives a nice visual for sure.
Thanks Josh! Where I fish mostly the largest fish cat in the last five years was a six pound largemouth bass. Nothing big in the waters I can access.
Good shit Josh
Great job.
Nice job, brother!
Did you see that fish swim out of the grass, across the sand patch when you popped that cork?
I use that Cajun Thunder all the time...it’s a Speck and Red killer.
Keep up the great work👊🏻😎
I saw it too!!
We did see him, got a little to close.
So cool!!!!
I love the popping cork in Carrabelle Florida
Great info. I'll have to try this sometime. Did that fish spook at 4:02because of the popping cork or the drone? ha ha...
It probably did spook because of the drone, those fish get nervous because off all the Ospreys lol.
Josh I have a question for you, have you ever had any success with the artificial shrimp on a pop cork? I've seen the rig in stores but never thought artificial would be as effective as live bait for this rig. I've had good luck with this rig in the past. Also I really enjoyed today's video. Tight lines
I'm gonna try the popping cork today
Do you recommend using circle hooks for live bait?
Circle hooks work great with live bait.
Great vid as always! Any tips on line tangling with the rig when you cast it? Thanks much!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who understands fish👍
Do people use this for fresh water fish ? Stripper's
See the fish dart at 4:08 lol Nice video though Popping cork is hard to Beat.
Just curious why your leader is heavier than you Main line ? I was always taught to run heavier mainline. A break awake on the sinker/ leader as a breakaway. So you don't have the fish run off with your spool
I use corks from bayou buck. They last a really long time.
Do you use the same knot on the leader line ?
Wow that so incredible.
Simply yet effective.
I've never tried hooking them shrimp in the heads. Will definitely give it a try.
Could this baiting method also work with frozen shrimp or dead ones?

Josh have you tried the new Picifun CarbonX Spinning reel yet? What is your review and value rating?
Hey James, good reel if you are fighting smaller fish or freshwater fishing but if you tighten down the drag and try to bull dog redfish you will bust the gear teeth. I have with two already.
Hey Josh.. Great video brother.. Got a question though.. What's the difference in that popping cork and the others that are tapered with the beveled top? Is one better than the other? The other has a top like a popping lure,, but does that make it better.. Thanks for sharing the equipment and hook you use.. Keep up the great work.. A lways your friend, fan, and subscriber..
I got one somewhere but haven't used it yet, been freshwater fishing alot.
After the cast you can see a fish move through the open sand area next to the cast
Yes sir, he was a biggun too.
Lol hell yeah bro listen to the fish
The fish was moving fast going across
How do you guys deal with pin fish stealing your shrimp , BEFORE anything big can take the shrimp ?
Vid wasnt long enough brofish! But it was good!
Thx for this - I think I just need to find the right spot! #newbie
You're welcome
Could you post a link to the rod and reel setup you're using?
I’m so mad I’ve been fishing for the last 2 days and I’ve lost one thresher each day (I still haven’t landed one yet). The first one I lost was 7ft the second one was 5 1/2ft. Do u have any tips for landing thresher sharks?
Can it work with live mullet?
Absolutely
Use this setup everytime I fish
Was that a tsunami evict reel?
No sir, I've never tried the evict reels honestly, that is the Piscifun Spartan.
The handle looked different, I really like the evict reels if you ever get a chance to try one.
Thanks bro I'm good to go
Always welcome
👍
So I’ve been fishing wrong XD. Been stationed here in Florida for 3 months so far, tryna do some fishing anywhere haven’t caught anything lol. Flats, jetties tried parks nothing. Lol been just throwing my bobbers/corks and leaving it there like catch me something please.
Used it with a live pinfish, just let him swim. Hooked into a really nice Tarpon.
Is that your boat? I would love to see a video that covers your thoughts on a boat setup.
What are your limitations on this boat?
Yes sir, that is baby Hewe. I can put something together.
Who else seen the fish dart away 4:04
Doesn't anybody use baitcasting reels anymore?
Sure we do, all the time.
I'm always afraid of throwing a live shrimp off when casting
Spooked fish at 4:05
pay attention when you pop the cork, a big fish shoot out and away from the cork.
Would be nice.but up here in the North East,,I don`t think we have the ability to get live shrimp for bait...not that size anyway,,Grass Shrimp yes,but not anything of good size.
Hi
jesus is coming soon you need the holy spirit to enter into heaven 🙏.....
In the future, can you say "everybody" instead of "ladies and gentlemen"...just to be inclusive of those that do not identify as either...LMAO
Great tips
