Thank you for your videos. I lost my dad last November. He taught me so much about fresh water bass fishing. Losing him really was a punch to the gut for me. I live in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida and started watching your videos. Very simple and informative. I’ll be purchasing some of your products simply because I’m impressed by your relationship and respect for your father. Keep the videos coming!
I have been fishing for more than 30 years, your videos are so good and the knowledge that you pass on to the community is awesome. Total respect and keep up the great work. Your chum rig is a killer over here in the UK for some epic cod action.
It just takes practice folks, it took me about 3 years to totally master it. Arthritis doesn't help, but you have to learn your own techniques, but you've got to start somewhere. Go buy some cheap line and practice, that's what I did. This isn't rocket science folks, anyway tight lines and God bless 🙌.
I love fishing. I started 2 years ago (just before covid) mostly at the beach at the end of my street and really enjoyed it. From there I started to fish off the rocks at either end of the beach. Loved that too. This last Christmas, I bought myself a kayak, made outriggers, puta trolling motor on it and now I'm fishing the local estuaries as well. Thanks Brandon, your videos have been very helpful and inspirational. Hope you and Erin are both well and your mom and dad. If my dad was still alive, I'd love to take him fishing. Cheers guys
I learned how to tie my own rigs thanks to your channel. Thanks for the quality content bud. I'd like to get tips on avoiding snags and different floater techniques if you have time.
Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
I'm about to tie up all your fishing rigs this week in preparation for my vacation at Ocean City and frontiertown... Up here in Central PA was harsh during winter and your videos were just not videos to me... they were much needed psychological pick me ups as well... Your videos are like taking in a college course on a new adventure I just started the past 3 years that I'm pretty much hooked on for life... Im glad I started off watching your videos from the beginning of my interest of surf fishing... Hopefully I'll end up back to my home State of NC to enjoy my new adventure... Anyhow, thank you and, I thank your Dad as well for all I've learned so far...
Nice video ! The hook direction makes a huge difference on circle hooks Always go in the front/point side first so circle hook is penetrating in proper direction !
Thank you. I used the T knot yesterday on 30lb floro leader to 40lb braid and landed 3 white sea bass. I wasn't prepared for sea bass because I thought we were going rock fishing, but the charter had different plans given the weather. I don't think I would have been able to landed them without this video. Thank you.
You guys are awesome. Great info always. Love that it’s always family friendly. You do a great job and I enjoy how much you love your family. Keep up the great work thank you
My son and I love fishing but I know nothing about tying these knots. We dont have very much luck with fishing in general, but luckily he is very positive about it. I would like to thank you very much for this video. It was VERY informative and you were very clear and you even showed what to do in case some of the line got tangled on itself. Thank you very much
newbie here. Really appreciate you showing the "rookie" level as it was much simpler than some other video's I saw. Saving this for future reference as I progress on my fishing journey.
I love your shows, main reason is you show the rigs you use and for what fish and which bait. In other words you give us all a lot of information. I am a very seasoned beach, rock and pier fisherman but find myself still learning heaps from you. Thank you.
Learnt lots on how to tie all these knots from you...TQ..and my son thanked you millions too cos Mum dont have to pester him anymore for help... My problem now is catching fish...while every anglers around me catches lot of fish....seems Im carrying a jinx for not catching any...like today...so sad...😢
Thank you for showing us how to tie these rigs. Before I spent two or three years just figuring how to tie the knots and catch some fish but thanks to you now its become very easy. Thanks Mr Brendon.
the T knot really changed my fishing experience for the better thanks alot an the way you showed how to tie the T knot was very simplistic and easy way of doing it
Hey Skipper, Thanks for sharing how to tie the high-low-rigs. I've got it down-pat now. It helped me catch two keeper red drum last week off of Hatteras. Keep sharing your great videos !
Meant first ! Auto correct just noticed and thanks for teaching the knots helps me get my gear tied properly i love the idea with the bait floaters come down try ice fishing bro in minnessotta now been watching you guys for a while you always have the best spots / first winter im in minnesota ice fishing is pretty kool
I havn't fished in 10 yrs, Then i was in a motorcycle accident. I just moved to South Carolina and just started to fish again. Ive always loved it but never had time . Ive been fishing since August and havn't caught a thing. Pretty sad, Ive been watching your videos and THANK YOU. I have learned so much about salt water fishing and making my own rigs. Im really excited about fishing this year. I hope i run into you some day and can thank you personally. God Bless
Another variation is to roll the 2 sides of your loop to twist the line before tieing the dropper loop. It stiffens the knot and makes it stand off at 90° to the main rig line.
I love your tutorials, you make it so easy to learn these awesome knots. My new favorite way to tie a drop shot is the improved T knot you use. Keep the videos coming bro!
Love this t knot. Hook and many more fish like that. I know it works. Because when I pull up on guys already fishing and no bite.. bit as soon as I get there I get a bite and fish.. thank u for knowledge on the t knot
Hello, thank you, I was looking forward to this video. Because I realize this knot badly and here are different ways to do it the loop knot dropper. During the holiday season, I kept watching your videos, especially the old ones that I hadn't seen. You are truly the best for me. I watch other channels and you exceed them for me on a whole bunch of things. Why not in a next video fishing with bacon at sea it could be an experience at sea to do maybe if you want to try. So happy new year and good health to you and your entourage.
Haha going to back to educational rigging I see...I know it's due to bad weather lol! 😅 it's cool brotha...it's refreshing teaching the basics. Hands down the hi/lo rig is to me the deadliest most versatile rig to catch for any scenario using bait. Less likely of snags if you keep it in one place even close to structure...I actually prefer this more than a Carolina rig. It to me is the more versatile rig of all time. Let's say you get squid tentacles and hook them and make them look like swimming minnows...it does damage even with big fish when you jig it slightly. And now when the water is super cold...nice slow retrieves and minimal play.
Great video. I've been locked in as a subscriber for some years now. You made it seem simpler than most videos. I got all my rigs set up ready to go hit Destin for some pompano. Keep the passion !
Awesome Man thanks for the love and support! If you found this helpful you gotta check out my website, I custom make a ton of gear to help you with your next fishing trip! www.heyskipperfishing.com 😁
Where you and your family are at in the US, you guys may be rare 😂 but here in the San Francisco Bay Area it’s not rare to see everybody or every Asian old lady making and selling their own rigs and using them too! 😂 thanks for all you do skipper 🙏
this one is much better than the one you had your dad host not bc it was him but bc sometimes you just need you and the camera to create that one on one exerience. great job.
ive had considerably more luck inserting the leader into the hook with the point facing towards you. cant explain it but my hookup ratio improved from the opposite method. I always tie twisted dropper rigs and maybe tangle once every 50 casts or so. i completely avoid using metal in my rigs and just use dbl uni knots. and a surgeons loop at the bottom. awesome tutorial!
🇯🇲 my first time tying knots i watch you over and over until i get it right. Please take your time slowly when puting your finger to wrap the line to make different knots
Just wanna add on that an alpine knot will reduce your line strength by 50%. So if your line is rated for 10lbs, it will break off after 5lbs. Different knots have different strength reductions. Hence some knots are favoured over another.
I British Columbia we have a double rig called the "|bar set".It is a wire twisted like your expert knot would be .Ive been fishing with this rig on the Fraser river for salmon and other fish on its sandy banks and it is very simular to your surf casting rig and with floats just like that some with spinner wings that act like propellers in the current
Oh man how about the expert T knot 👌 I got in to fishing on years day 2022 and I watched how to tie the intermediate knot and it was cool and clean like you mentioned until you show me how to tie the expert T knot now that's on fire thanks for sharing this I'll definitely start doing expert T from now on tanks again from New Zealand 👍

Another great video! Thanks! Is there a reason I never see you use the palomar knot? It's one of the strongest and easiest knots to tie for beginners who I image make up a large portion of your viewers.
Love your videos bud! Trying to learn some new knots since moving from Virginia to Florida. I'd love to try your salted shrimp and other baits in the future....I never get on the kayak without a rod! Lol. Keep up the great videos. Your knowledge promotes this great sport!
I just learn how to do the T knot🤭thx loads Brandon, nice learning from u. Cannot wait to go fishing now and try it, Llandudno, here I come🤗🤗🤗hope won't tangle anymore in the big waves. Fed up of finding it tangled🤣🤣🤣 thx
Great video as always. I share your enthusiasm for the T knot - it’s so satisfying! Last year I learned how to tie surf rigs from your channel and started fishing the surf in NC. Can’t wait to get back at it again this year.
@@matthewl1187 I like to fish Topsail as well. Usually the surf has some variety in it all year long. The sound side down by the inlet is a spot there, too. When I have time to make the trip, I like to camp out at Frisco and try the surf and the sound side. I’ve had good luck with reds down there. Landed a 43” bull red right out of the surf on ocracoke at the Hatteras ferry dock in June this year.
@@DCnich Nice. I've fished Topsail all my life and have yet to catch a red. I usually am getting blues which I enjoy catching. Serenity point is the spot on the sound side at Topsail you are referring to I believe. We fished there a week ago and got a couple of really nice flounders and some decent blues. Going back Thanksgiving weekend I hope and gonna drive out on the ocean side and try it. We are going to the Outer Banks in March which will be my first time. What kind of rigs do you use for reds? That's my target fish now since I've never gotten one. I want to try and get my 9 year old son to land one as well.
@@matthewl1187 That sounds a lot like my experience the last few years at topsail. Lots of blues, which are fun, but no reds. I’ve caught some nice flounder there, too. When I have caught reds down near frisco, is has always been on a Carolina rig with fresh cut mullet. I’ve had better luck on the sound side with reds than the surf. I’m not sure how they will be feeding this time of year, but definitely earlier in the year the slot reds come out at dusk on the sound side and pursue mullet up into the shallows. I’ve had luck right as the sun is setting in the last hour of daylight. Lots of folks fish them at night. You can see the reds when they come out because the mullet they’re chasing will spray up towards the shallows as they’re being pursued. If you’re in the right spot at the right time, probably a lot of baits/rigs will work. The big bull I landed at Hatteras inlet was also a Carolina rig with cut mullet. Only difference was the location and hook size.
Hey skipper..great delivery. I found your videos and realized that you and I rig almost exactly alike. Come to Texas for a collaborative video and we'll get your drag pulled
Great 👍 video for the how and,importantly, the whys of doing the same thing differently. Your vids are always inspiring. Keep them up! And take your Dad fishing!
My understanding of the saliva is that it not only lubricates the knot, it also helps to cool the nylon as it generates heat from friction when it is sliding over itself, thus preventing a weak spot.
Thank you for your videos. I lost my dad last November. He taught me so much about fresh water bass fishing. Losing him really was a punch to the gut for me.

Just tied my first single hook rig! Went straight for the intermediate knot!
Youre awesome, love the channel, you and Erin KEEP IT UP!
I still watch your older video that featured your dad, nice job on good camera angles I still kinda struggle but I definitely improved
Good for you man!
Haha yeah...that's the 1st time I knew how to tie the T knot...thanks dad! Wow how time flies!

quality tying. Also, those snips he's using are GOLD. I keep a set in the car, on the boat and in the surf bag.
Yes. Rigs tied with T knot are very reliable.. Practice makes perfect. Cheer
see the notification immediately slides watching the fishing science, thank you for sharing
You slowed it down and with a little practice I will be sufficient at newbie and intermediate. Thank you!
Thanks mate, you explained this rig well this rig has improved my catch rate here in Australia 🇦🇺
I like to add some twist to the line before forming the overhand portion it keeps the dropper super rigid and the presentation is perfect
I love your tutorials, you make it so easy to learn these awesome knots. My new favorite way to tie a drop shot is the improved T knot you use. Keep the videos coming bro!

thanks for the tips man ! hope i catch something with those rigs here in the Mediterranean !
I think you will!
@@HeySkipper insha-allah ! :)
Thanks for sharing those knots and how to use them. Grandpa Jack
ive had considerably more luck inserting the leader into the hook with the point facing towards you. cant explain it but my hookup ratio improved from the opposite method.

Nice job in teaching how to tie the T - knot !
Great knot for bottom fishing . Awesome video . God bless .✨🌈🕊🔥🙏
I always buy store made high low rigs, but I think this year I'll be tying my own. Thanks
Thank you so much I learned something love it! So excited to get out fishing
🇯🇲 my first time tying knots i watch you over and over until i get it right.
Please take your time slowly when puting your finger to wrap the line to make different knots
Very informative, this will be enjoyable to newbies..fishing is really fun and interesting...from Angler Philippines
This instructional video is Very Instructional! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just wanna add on that an alpine knot will reduce your line strength by 50%. So if your line is rated for 10lbs, it will break off after 5lbs.
Different knots have different strength reductions. Hence some knots are favoured over another.
I love your instruction very easy to follow, thanks from rick in Perth Australia 🇦🇺 😀
I British Columbia we have a double rig called the "|bar set".It is a wire twisted like your expert knot would be .Ive been fishing with this rig on the Fraser river for salmon and other fish on its sandy banks and it is very simular to your surf casting rig and with floats just like that some with spinner wings that act like propellers in the current
Thks For Sharing mate you'r a Good Teacher Keep It Up.
Thanks for this video. I just made two of the expert versions for my next fishing trip
Oh man how about the expert T knot 👌

It works great!
I watched you and I think it was your dad show the T knot and I’ve been tying it ever since catching all kinds of fish up in the Delaware bay
Thanx Skip I'm deff gona try this T knot it looks amazing
It is a very effective knot!

Hey skipper..great delivery. I found your videos and realized that you and I rig almost exactly alike. Come to Texas for a collaborative video and we'll get your drag pulled
Great 👍 video for the how and,importantly, the whys of doing the same thing differently. Your vids are always inspiring. Keep them up! And take your Dad fishing!
Thanks for that T knot I'm gonna give that a try
Mantap sobat ku, terima kasih telah berbagi ilmu nya 👍
On the simple rig I tie an overhand or figure eight knot above the knot to help it stand-off from the main line : )
Hi Skipper another great video nice content
Always enjoy your skill stay safe out there bro regard to your family
Thanks man!
Ok just saw this vid we’re heading south in June gonna be practicing the t knot till then so I have it down before we hit the water .
Thanks for the videos very educational.
Thanks! Love your channel skipper!
