Gag Grouper Can't Resist This Bait, Fishing With Pigfish, Pinfish And Grunts For Keeper Grouper
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Pinfish, Pigfish and Grunts are Gag Grouper candy! In this video I'm fishing around docks and yachts in Florida from my Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 120 kayak. Big baits for big fish rings true when targeting keeper Gag Grouper. For a couple of months now I've been fishing this area with small baits and have caught a lot of small fish. In this episode I'm searching for a giant with live bait. While trying to locate the trophy I manage to land several keeper Seabass and hook up with a nice Flounder.

Salt Strong Mono vr Fluorocarbon Test
• Mono vs Fluoro: Abrasi...
I recently discovered your channel and I gotta say, I really enjoy watching you fish man! Tight lines brother!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope it wasn't through one of my rookie catch and cook videos, ha ha...
@@RadReelingFishing your videos are great. I'm going to try my hand at another catch and cook. Going down to the Keys tomorrow!
Wow! Nice catch idol. Ang Galing nyo idol napanood ko yung vlog mo. Full support na po. Keep it up. Watching from argao.
Keep safe and God bless always🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🐟🐟🐟🐟⛵⛵⛵⛵😊😊😊😊☺
Great video JC like the grouper Will take theSea bass thanks for the adventure and bringing us along
I'm eating those Seabass right now, wow delicious! Thanks for watching.
Great video as usual! keep em coming JC
Thanks for watching. Many I hope I find a keeper before the season ends.
Very nice loved seeing you catch all these fish but I gotta say in my experience florocarbon is better leader material since sheepshead and bluefish cant really bite through it .
Nice job man. All the big mangos down here in Miami have gone too deep for me to catch from shore😭 At least we have mackerel coming into the bay, as well as huge jolthead porgies. Im glad...would be starving to death otherwise lol
Thanks for watching. Catching spanish mackerel is one of my favorite things to do. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a jolthead porgie. The porgie I've caught before were delicious. Thanks for commenting.
Great channel, wish we had fishing like that in the UK👍👏
“Fishing for keeper grouper” 😂. I was wondering where the keepers were at all I saw were baby gags.
love your fishing videos
Thanks or watching.
Excellent video well done..I subscribed to your channel
Man I seat at home tonight because I work tomorrow. I swear bro you make me want to go fishing lol. It’s really hard NOT to go. But people want tattoos and I need the money for my kayak hahaha😂. I try not to watch you videos at work 😂 it will make me leave early and go fishing 😂😂😂. JC please keep making your videos lol. I’m always jonesing lol.
I really like your how to videos too. I learn something every single video!!! If I could give you five stars I would give you ten 😂😂😂😂
Quality fish and quality vids always coming back to watch these vids over and over when im bored and cant fish 😂
So seabass gotta be 13 inches. You measured that one at 11 inches and tossed in the cooler? Lol.....
Thanks for watching. 10", not sure what you are looking at.
@@RadReelingFishing in Florida which it looks like you are. Seabass have to be 13 inches overall.
@@RadReelingFishing I thought you were on the east coast. I guess not.
Jesus Christ loves you,
Nice video man, I love grouper.
Once I switched over to using FG knots I never went back! It’s the best knot to use imo. Took me a while to get used to tying but I got it down now lol!
Thanks for watching. I'm right there with you. Sometimes I tie a uni to uni when I'm in a hurry because the fish are biting and the line clinks and clanks through the guides. Thanks for commenting.
JC what pound mono leader do you use when going for snook and reds? 👍
Usually 25 to 40 lb test depending upon the structure in the area.
How do you like the ole town with the troller motor. I’m on the fence about the purchase.
This is my forth Old Town kayak, two with pedals and two with different electric motor set ups. The AutoPilot 120 is by far the best of the best that I've used. For all types of fishing it out performs all the others.
@@RadReelingFishing thanks
How concerned are you about hitting certain tides? Or do you generally just go out whenever
Thanks for watching. All of my fishing trips are planed around the tide and wind conditions. Thanks for asking.
Great video jc this weekend am going out to try to catch some grouper
Where are you fishing? Water looks fairly clean, guessing Rivera Beach, Jupiter, maybe Fort Lauderdale/Miami area? I’m in Stuart, and the water isn’t that clean for us, especially not on low tide, fort pierce is sometimes this clean. Nice to see guys grouper fishing inshore.
sw fl
Where do you fish at
Thanks for asking. I don't reveal locations out of respect for the local community of anglers.
😂I’m thinking that was a fart form that Dolphin or manatee
That spot u caught the small grouper with doa that is my spot i caught a 22 inch gag grouper off there
Awesome. When did you catch that grouper?
Damn 2 inches short. Bet he fought good though
Last sunday at 12:00 i am a boy my name is AJ maybe i wil see you out there one day
@@AJsPokemon That's awesome. This is the time of year to get some big ones inshore. Thanks for sharing.
@@RadReelingFishing he’s saying keep off his fishing spot you’re not his friend
Quick question seeing that u have the auto pilot, sportsman 106 powered by MK and the old town pdl. Which would you choose out of the pdl and 106 MK. I’m leaning toward the 106 powered by MK cuz I want the trolling. But I like The idea of being able to pedal also. Any advice?
Did you see this video: ua-cam.com/video/CA3IquDxSz0/v-deo.html
Vice video
30 pound mono is way more abrasive resistant than 30 pound flouro
Would u say hooking the pins underbelly Instead of lips or top better way to hook if so y?
Usually the method I use to hook a pinfish depens upon the current direction, the water depth and where and how I want the pinfish to swim.
When you have pin fish that big you need to trim off one of its tail fin so it can't swim away.
*I agree ... I used to make two or three cuts with scissors in between the soft part and parallel with the tail spines so it inhibited their thrust and let scent into the water* ..gw
Such a great idea, thanks.
Right on with this idea for sure. I never think of doing that, ugh. I'll do it next time for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Dude...you seem like you have so much fun out there would love to go fishing with you some day
I really enjoy the challenge of accomplishing a goal. What better goal to have than catching a big Gag Grouper, ha ha...thanks for watching and commenting.
I use the silver spook jr more than I use the bone lately. It works 🤙🤙
Thanks for watching and commenting. That's good to know Chris.
congratulations, your fishing was incredible, you caught beautiful fish.👍🎣🐠😊
I've never seen baitfish hooked on the belly like that is this is way to make them look more injured under water??
I like to hook Pinfish near the anal fin sometimes because the bait tends to swim away from where I'm at. Also, I think the hook is hidden better because Pifish tend to swim along the bottom most of the time. There are many ways to hook them though.
@@RadReelingFishing thank you!!
Sometimes you hook the bait in the belly and sometimes in the nose. Is the belly hook to get him to swim down?
Hooking them in front of the anal fin causes the fish to swim away from the tension of the line, at least in theory. When I hook them in the head area I generally want the bait to swim down.
@@RadReelingFishing thanks! You’ve given me a new technique I’m looking forward to using. I appreciate your channel. Blessings!
YOu always seem to catch fish at that spot. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching. Yeah, when I find an area that has fish I generally stick with and diversify my approach to fishing it. Thanks for commenting.
Dinks
great catch..,gag grouper with salad ...alright alright alright
I just ran across your channel while surfing UA-cam. If you don't mind I have a question and I apologize if I missed it got any description. The question is what brand name is the bait tank that you are using in this video
Thanks for watching Jen. Here's the link to the lid and aerator for a five gallon bucket: amzn.to/2WJH7Fq (paid link)
Pin fish are always most definitely a go to bait for any grouper species, hell yeah man first video i watched on the channel. Ill definitely be tuning in!
Thanks for watching and subing!
Sea Bass, never seen them before I found your channel. Hopefully one of your videos has a catch and cook with sea Bass. Interested to see what you thought.
Seabass taste delicious!
Hey JC I watched that SaltStrong Line testing video and told one of my fishing buddies. He still wanted to argue for Fluoro's superiority w/o even seeing the results of the test! I said Okaayyy! Tight lines!
Thanks for watching. Yeah, I had someone disagree with Saltstrong's results too. My guy said Saltstrong used cheap flourocarbon line and that's why it didn't outperform mono. Oh well, I choose to save money either way. Thanks for commenting.
J.C next time try under the bridge with those big pinfish and grunts where you lost that tarpon.
Have you tried any of your old snook bridges, bet there some nice inshore gags hiding down there.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yeah, that bridge might hold some Gag Groupers for sure. Thanks.
Current what current? You've got spotlock, you never move, now on the 106 you would be. Im upgrading to the 120 ap next year
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yeah, current around here is no match for the AutoPilot 120.
Seabass get very big out here in New York. 15 is keeper and my PB is 20. Best eating fish in my opinion
They are delicious fish, wow! I'm sure we would have some bigger ones around here the Seabass hadn't gotten annihilated by the red tide two years ago. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Soo where the keeper grouper at?
Thanks for watching. That's exactly what I'd like to know, at least inshore where I can reach them with a kayak. Thanks for commenting.
No problem keep it up ,Can’t wait till you catch one 🤞🤞
@radreeling fishing “ I want your grand daddy”😂 I love ur videos always cheers me up cuz lately in the 10k island where I’m from fishin honestly hasn’t been that good
Thanks for watching. Are you dealing with Red Tide right now?
@@RadReelingFishing I don’t think so honestly I think it’s just my old spots have just been over fished just Gotta go find some new sports
Cool video and good job on fishing
Thanks for watching and commenting.
You’re welcome
I will throw anything I have in my bucket as bait! I usually have 3 or 4 different baits and I am always trying different things. Great work!
Thanks for watching and sharing your technique. I need to be more open to using cut bait. I think I'd catch more Redfish if I did.
@@RadReelingFishing I look at it as "what do you want today?" Lol.
If I'm short on live bait instead of throwing out a half dead bait I will cut just the tail off and cast it out once or twice more. Works pretty well up here!
Hey RR. Good to see you back out there. I just lost a fish and I bet you can tell me what it was. (I use all your lessons to catch snook, by the way. 43” in profile pic.) I fish off a seawall in Boca Grande. Tonight I threw a silver 4” paddle tail and ran it slowly parallel to the wall in about 4’ of water. Huge hit! No splash. No jump. Very heavy though and definitely swimming back and forth along the wall after hooked. When I stopped reeling to call a buddy to help land it, fish stopped fighting. Then when I reeled again, it fought. I thought it was spent, but every time I got it close to the wall, it started to pull off line like it was it’s job. Then I got a look. Big, fat, round, light colored. Like a full moon on my line. Then it came off as I brought it to the wall. Didn’t break the line, just got off the hook. I’ve fished this wall hundreds of times. Never experienced this. If I had to guess, and it’s just that, I’d say Grouper. (Never caught one here.) Maybe a massive Jack, but there was no head twitch and not a ton of fight, more like dead weight, with some fight. Any thoughts? (I’m sure you’ve got nothing better to do than field fishing questions. Feel free to tell me to get lost. But PLEASE rig that SG up with some light tackle and catch a fish. Can you imagine the views!) Thanks for all the great vids!
You threw me off with the round like a moon statement. Goliath possibly, have you seen my Goliath Grouper vid: ua-cam.com/video/q32CDWtVai8/v-deo.html Also, my other thought was stingray. It sounds like an amazing fight whatever it was. That's the fun of fishing though, you will never know what it was. Thanks for commenting.
@@RadReelingFishing Man, OF COURSE I’ve seen that one. I think I’ve watched them all. Dad and I get up early to throw top waters. After sun up we go in and get breakfast while RR plays on the flatscreen. Then we head back out with a new motivation. I woke up this morning still pondering. And I too came up with Ray. Didn’t fight enough to be a grouper, although that’d be a much better story. Back to that SG. I see a collaboration between Gibson and Shakespeare, the first electric guitar light tackle rod combo, sponsored by RR and Angus Young. I’ve already chosen the riff for the commercials. ua-cam.com/video/ErXbMB9R5-0/v-deo.html
You need an agent? (Thanks for the awesome vids. I’ve learned a lot.)
@@bbutler5090 Ha ha, wow, now that riff got me going, nice! Love me some AC/DC!
Good video
Buddys gotta be high as shit in that into 😂
Thanks for watching and commenting. Nope, just high on life!
Nice day of fishing.
Thanks for watching. You are so right, great day to be on the water. It's crazy how fish move around with the water temperature changes. A couple of weeks ago I was catching Red Grouper like crazy, this trip, not one hook up with a red. Thanks for commenting.
FG knot is all I tie.
Right on. I'm totally with you on that one. Thanks for watching.
Great video JC!
Thanks for watching. It's good to hear encouraging words!
fantastic
