Another great video! You make it look so calming, easy, and fun...exactly what fishing should be. A nice haul of blues...very impressive. Keep the vids coming, always a pleasure to watch!
way to go dave! Your getting some action that way been off this week here, tried bait yest lures monday for nothing. Great vid i may have to get that way thanks for sharing another great vid!
Looks like that last one was over 15lbs I can tell by his movements and thickness, I caught one once 15lbs and took me some time to land it I thought I got stuck on the bottom during a boat trip.
Great video. You had a good day on the surf, what size hooks did use, and do you prefer j hooks or circle for surf fishing, also do you prefer fish finder rig or high low rig, I appreciate any advice . Thanks Ken
Great video amd great fish BUT my question is.... how the hell are you casting with your finger nit being on the line and the bail is open ?? What the hell , how is that possible. Really want to know what you do and know that i dont lol waiting for your reply ! Tight line
Much welcome! Just got in not much happening this way beaches/bays are vacant! Was out late last night and had the incoming today no life right now here
I was just watching your vid again so cool, but realized in my last vid i was using the same reel but i think greg made it bailess like yu mentioned great stuff Dave!
I should have mentioned the reel on your last vid, can't believe that slipped by me! Yeah man, great spinning reel for the money since it is water tight. Not totally sealed like a van staal but it can be dunked and splashed without issue. Just not worked underwater. Think Greg has the bls model of the spinfisher v in your vid (which improves good line management avoiding nests). I have the base ssv version but still manually flip the bail. Greg looks familiar too. Do you know if he fishes at great kills? thought I saw him in passing once or twice granted it is a big park, lol. Thanks for the view again Jerry! How's the action at JB? Been slow my me. Bass at night on chunks but early morning work puts me in bed by that time :(
Good stuff! Yea Gregory does go there time to time so you may have seen him there. It was a good week lots of blues with some size and a few basshopefully it lasts!
What would you suggest for taking some young 12-14 teenage boys out to surf fish? Looking for easy rig and frequent catches. Not looking to land anything big just have fun. Will be in the Salvo area next week.
Pretty much what you see in this video if fishing on the northeast coast. Main line to a swivel, 3 feet of 50 pound test fluro or mono as a leader with a sinker slider. That is then tied to a snap swivel which holds the bluefish hooks which I put cut bait on. Some worms on a simple high-lo rig with a sinker on bottom will do fine too.
thank you sir for the most excellent vid so just wanted to note the good luck you had to have not a single bite off I mean I guess you are trying for a lip set and you succeeded excellent right sometimes they lip set themselves but just saying how pissed I am when I could have used a steel leader lastly did you actually carry all five fish off the beach or did you dress them there thanks again' really loved it cinema verite
+jeffrey paris Thank you Jeffrey for your comment! Same here about not being prepared with wire leaders... there's a video of me getting bit off last year while using lighter tackle during a blitz. Only had 30lb fluro since I was fluke fishing. As for these fish I threw them all back. only keep them when they are in the 3 to 4 pound range on occasion. If I had a smoker I would have kept the last one.
Is it better to use that rig than one with floats on it or does it not matter? I realize it's probably too early for crabs but just wondering if there is a reason why bare hook is better?
Had the crabs simply swim up and grab the ones with the floats too so it doesn't really matter. The float may cause some drag and kill the cast a bit too, but no good reason why I use bare hooks otherwise.
+Relax and Fish nah, I walked around to the inside but I dont think I even cast. I just got home from the inside tonight, something pushing bunker around but not interested in taking what I was tossing their way.
did you break that first one off on 40LB Braid ?? your hard on the gear pal... so how many are you allowed per day ??? how do you cook them. what is the flesh like , flakie or firm.??? were you using a 40lb leader as well or mono ?? fun day though ..
Hey Jake. Your best bet are two things. First nothing beats knowledge from a local fisherman, nothing! So just scout the beach and talk to some folks who are catching and ask what gear they're using, the rigging, bait choices, lures, times to go, etc. The second is to ask folks in your local bait and tackle shop pretty much the same. For me to give you specific tips that help me based on conditions where I fish might not pan out so well in your area. Hope that helps. Tight lines man
This might sound hard but once you understand, it's not that hard. You have to learn how to read the water on the beach. Scout at low tide and be aware of clues on the shore line. You can find plenty of videos on this topic. Good luck!!
MrXinsizionx On low tide, look for sandbars, fish in and around them (depending where your located) because they trap baitfish, or you can just chase the birds
+Leanne Jones So long as you're throwing small pieces of bait with a light sinker, say 1 ounce it should be fine. Otherwise you may pass the ounce rating on a rod that size risking damage when casting. Longer heavier-rated 10 or 11 foot surf poles can handle heavier bait loads and also get them out further. If you are only throwing lures in the 1/2 to 2 ounce range a pole that size should be fine for that though. Hope that helps! Good luck out there too!
+Relax and Fish I have only been to pier 10. I think that is where I will be today. I may venture to the shoreline right beside there...tips are needed and welcome!!
+Leanne Jones Sure, first do you see anyone catching nice fish around that spot on the shoreline? If so then you know it's good so long as you can reach a little water movement or depth. I always like to fish in a spot where there are bait fish around or have recently been around too. Try and time it where you are fishing either the first or last 90 minutes of a tide phase granted there is way more to it than that, but that's just one general concept. Use bunker as bait cut into about 2 inch pieces on 6/0 bluefish hooks with a 2 ounce sinker, more if your line moves over too much and if your rod can handle it. Also once you get used to catching a few, crush the barbs on your hooks with your pliers to make them easier to remove. Always watch those fingers around a bluefish of any size. Also be close to your pole and ready to grab it to set the hook a bit and have your drag set tight enough to where it takes some effort to pull off the reel but not too tight where its locked up or takes a lot of effort to pull line off. Hope that's enough to get you started. You'll get some tight lines out there and report how you did.
Sorry just saw this now. Copied from above reply. "Main line to a swivel, 3 feet of 50 pound test fluro or mono as a leader with a sinker slider. That is then tied to a snap swivel which holds the bluefish hooks which I put cut bait on".
Just saw this now. Never used either reel, but I do have a Shimano Spheros that has been going strong and smooth since 2013. As for the Catana, if you haven't purchased one yet go with the 4000 series which I believe is the largest. It can hold about 170 yards of 30 pound test braid, a bit more with 20lb, either line strength works... and puts out a 13 pound max drag which is plenty for slowing down big blues. They'll make nice multiple runs, but won't come close to emptying that capacity. If you hook a large ray that's another story. Also consider the Penn Pursuit II which is a similar reel with greater line capacity and max drag. Hope this helped...
:D i mean rod.I chose okuma dead ringer.Is the rod good for the money.I am noob in the spining ,so the rod is cheap.It is going to be my first spining rod. Thank you!
Ah, got you, thought you meant reel since the Catana is a reel. As for a rod Nothing beats an Ugly Stik surf rod for the money. not the best casters, but enough to get a chunk out for bluefish. Great for the value. Never used rod from either brand you mentioned so can't give a solid recommendation on them. Tight lines out there!
+Rymon Burgos I use 1/2 oz. Kalins bullet-style jig heads with the Gulp mullet which cast real nice. But that is for surf fishing, have zero knowledge on a boat.
+Omar Aviles You're welcome. I should also mention I crush the barbs on the hooks. It makes it much easier to remove from those razor sharp teeth jaws. Just always keep the line tight and you won't drop the fish so long as it's set good :) I read below you never caught a bluefish so just be cautious around their mouth.
+Yeah puss Do you take the trebles off and use a siwash on the back only when your getting blues like that? Seems like it be a dangerous mess unhooking those monsters all day like that?
+FishJonesBeach no, but I crush all my barbs on my trebles, every plug I have. I guarantee it does not cause any lost fish and can save your hand from a nasty shredding. Much safer for the fish and easy to unhook
Man those were some big bluefish and you were reeling them in left and right! We don't have Bluefishing like that here in florida. You are so lucky! Every once in a while someone will catch a big one, but their pretty rare. Great video! Just subscribed. It would mean a lot if you checked out my channel and subbed back. Looking forward to more great videos. Tight lines!
Actually I probably did not saw you, I saw someone that looked like you with the same setup too but he was fishing plugs much like everyone else, I had them every cast
+Bill Clinzel I agree, crap 20 dollar scale was off with that fish. Got a Boga the other day so hoping that's more accurate. What do you put those last two fish at btw?
Another great video! You make it look so calming, easy, and fun...exactly what fishing should be. A nice haul of blues...very impressive. Keep the vids coming, always a pleasure to watch!

Nice. Idk about NY but we are smashing gators on lures for the past two weeks on top water plugs, metals, and bucktails.
+charlie yang Got a couple of small ones on bucktails today. You north from NY or south?
dave thanks for the PLUG! I am going to add you on my next vids hopefully we get some action here and will have something by the weekend! great vid!
+FishJonesBeach Thanks Jerry! Anytime man you deserve the plug :)
+Relax and Fish I posted your vids on fishjonesbeach hope it drives some folks your way and thanks again Dave!
+FishJonesBeach Thanks Jerry! Looks good on there :)
Much welcome! Just got in not much happening this way beaches/bays are vacant! Was out late last night and had the incoming today no life right now here
What a brute! Good stuff. C’mon spring!
You get nice size bluefish on the beach but when your on a boat at night they get even bigger monsters size
Great video. This year I'm dedicated to learning how to surf fish in ny.
I see ur fishing lis are u one the Connecticut side or NY side? If ur on the ct side id like to know what park it is
I was just watching your vid again so cool, but realized in my last vid i was using the same reel but i think greg made it bailess like yu mentioned great stuff Dave!

Great Video! Which beach is this?
Where were you wearing the GoPro camera, chest mount of head mount. Just curious.
I have the 10.6 also rated 3/4 - 4 oz I want to know if maybe I can use a 2 oz lead and toss some clam chunk with it
Is it better to use that rig than one with floats on it or does it not matter? I realize it's probably too early for crabs but just wondering if there is a reason why bare hook is better?

Hey bro ..is this miami beach
Good seeing you yesterday.
+xgenux Same here man. Get any fish to commit after we parted?
+Relax and Fish nah, I walked around to the inside but I dont think I even cast. I just got home from the inside tonight, something pushing bunker around but not interested in taking what I was tossing their way.
Great Vid...do you keep any...Blues have a great taste
Love that scale. Who makes it?
Where in Long Island was this at
Are these fish good to eat? Im from west coast and have never heard of them
Yah bluefish are good to eat you just gotta catch them thare are fighters and you must watch Whare you put your fingers they have teeth
what Beach you at and nice catch for 10 minutes of waiting
did you break that first one off on 40LB Braid ?? your hard on the gear pal... so how many are you allowed per day ??? how do you cook them. what is the flesh like , flakie or firm.??? were you using a 40lb leader as well or mono ?? fun day though ..
Maurice Brown I'm curious about that also.
where is this place an how you get there
I'm gonna try surf fishing this summer for the first time. got any tips I could use. I'm not targeting anything specific

Hey bro you said Tuesday may 11th were you out yesterday? I was out yesterday and absolutely crushed the blues I'm editing footage as we speak
+FisherofmanNY Let me know when you publish Gil home today working looking for something to get me out of work for a few :)
+FishJonesBeach ok I will
Thanks cant wait!
+FisherofmanNY Yep May 11th. Lol, Meant to say Wednesday. Lots of people were there but I didn't move much since I was sitting and throwing bunker.
+FishJonesBeach Same here, looking forward to Gil's stuff from yesterday as well.
how are u calm I would be pissed that fish almost made it to the shore! I got mad just watching that
Damn you found a mojo surf rod? Those things are expensive as hell down here in Florida
Great rod, loads of backbone. They are pricey but worth it.
good job, by the way where is this?
+Anthony Gomes New York, fishing out of Staten Island
+Relax and Fish thanks
Where can I get that but cap. I need to put one for my mojo. Thank you
+Marvin Alovera I just took mine to my local bait & tackle shop and had them cut above the damaged part, then cap it.
Wow nice blue fish
Where are you fishing...
hello, I am brand new to fishing. can you cast from the beach with a 8ft pole? thanks.
+Leanne Jones So long as you're throwing small pieces of bait with a light sinker, say 1 ounce it should be fine. Otherwise you may pass the ounce rating on a rod that size risking damage when casting.
Longer heavier-rated 10 or 11 foot surf poles can handle heavier bait loads and also get them out further. If you are only throwing lures in the 1/2 to 2 ounce range a pole that size should be fine for that though. Hope that helps! Good luck out there too!
+Relax and Fish thank you and it does. I think I am going to head out tomorrow...I may give it a whirl if it isn't to windy.
+Leanne Jones Much welcome, ask anytime! Keep us posted on how you did out there. Btw, where are you fishing out of?
+Relax and Fish I have only been to pier 10. I think that is where I will be today. I may venture to the shoreline right beside there...tips are needed and welcome!!

Whare is this at ??
Where was this?
Love fishing where were u fishing
If I may ask, what type of rig are you using.
Sorry just saw this now. Copied from above reply. "Main line to a swivel, 3 feet of 50 pound test fluro or mono as a leader with a sinker slider. That is then tied to a snap swivel which holds the bluefish hooks which I put cut bait on".
Size of hook?
great vids man... keep it up
Fish finder rig?
What rig u using
Why throw back?
hi man is SHIMANO CATANA OR OKUMA HEXANA GOOD FOR BLUEFISH
Just saw this now. Never used either reel, but I do have a Shimano Spheros that has been going strong and smooth since 2013.

where is this?
where is that bro
does anyone know which hook would be best for a berkley gulp mullet to fish for fluke? thanks
+Rymon Burgos I use 1/2 oz. Kalins bullet-style jig heads with the Gulp mullet which cast real nice. But that is for surf fishing, have zero knowledge on a boat.
+Rymon Burgos If you like to use a plain hook try the Gami 2/0 worm hook super sharp and light
+Rymon Burgos 3/0 or 4/0 gama baitholder is what you want assuming you are using a bucktail or jighead as well
ok thanks guys
:)
Do you think I can fish for blue fish with a medium action rod
Where on Staten island
Where was this? THE BEACH?
pipo peru no it was in a pond
What state is this? Is this the outer banks?
Thanks
Matthew Roggemann it's in Staten Island, New York
does frozen bunker work?
Sometimes
I have been finding tons of dead skates on the beach... I'll never understand why people do it.
Same here. Even though they can be a nuisance at least you get something to tighten a line. Thanks for watching.
What size and style hook did you use?
+Omar Aviles what do you think is the best way to set the hook? Have you tried circles for blues?
+Omar Aviles Those are just size 6/0 store bought bluefish j hooks. Have to kinda jam set those compared to the circles.
Thanks +Relax and Fish!
I have never caught a blue fish. I'm using 6/0,7/0,9/0 +FishJonesBeach
+Omar Aviles You're welcome. I should also mention I crush the barbs on the hooks. It makes it much easier to remove from those razor sharp teeth jaws. Just always keep the line tight and you won't drop the fish so long as it's set good :)
I read below you never caught a bluefish so just be cautious around their mouth.
And a nice bass too
+Yeah puss How big was he?
12-15 pounds on sp minnow and all the other blues. Top catcher with over 55 fish this season so far
+Yeah puss Do you take the trebles off and use a siwash on the back only when your getting blues like that? Seems like it be a dangerous mess unhooking those monsters all day like that?
+FishJonesBeach no, but I crush all my barbs on my trebles, every plug I have. I guarantee it does not cause any lost fish and can save your hand from a nasty shredding. Much safer for the fish and easy to unhook
Good points, i heard they dont run the same with a single hook in the back they lose action going to toss some today
I think likely you tore through the mouth over throwing the hook
Great video mate :0 Im subbed, keep up the good work :)
Thanks mate! And will do
My line is 50 tested
Yeh I got 50 lb braided an 80lb leader
try 12lb test and have some real funw/ wire leader
Absolutely. Had fun last year with them on lighter fluke setup, here's that vid:

Thanks man! Appreciate the watch time. Like a great fisherman recently said... we'll trade you our big blues for your tarpon! :)
Lol! Yeah it's like the grass is always greener. Keep rockin it dude!
hi hook number model and what is the bait thanks
Watch the video dummy
me manda uma vara dessa ai cara pf procuro aqui em aracaju mais não acho de jeito nenhum moro no Brasil Aracaju Sergipe
Nice, we call them Shad or Elf down here in Africa
Cool, thanks for sharing that info here.
Nice!
Shit bro thought I saw you. I was catching blues on sp minnows all day
+Yeah puss That was prob me. Was a rewarding day for pretty much anyone chunking but slow on plugs and such. Always nice to hear bass in the mix!
You got an Instagram bro?
Actually I probably did not saw you, I saw someone that looked like you with the same setup too but he was fishing plugs much like everyone else, I had them every cast
+Yeah puss You saving the lures for another vid dave?
+Yeah puss Nah only this channel
GOOD VIDEO MATE I LIVE IN OZ CAN U EAT BLUE FISH
+des goulding Thank you. Yeah they're really good smoked that size since they are oily. don't have a smoker but starting to consider getting one.
ou make me jeoulous Cathing that size fish I have just started beach fishing and have not caught any BIG ONES as yet only flathead and bream take care
+des goulding There may be even bigger fish with your name on them! Keep at it, with beach fishing that could be the case whenever throwing cut bait.
text the address
15lbs ? yeah ok ,,
+Bill Clinzel I agree, crap 20 dollar scale was off with that fish. Got a Boga the other day so hoping that's more accurate. What do you put those last two fish at btw?
