I always learn from your videos. You both seem so happy doing them. Thank you so much for taking the time to do them.
I’m so happy that I can help
@@HeySkipper could you talk more about identify the rip current to fish
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "ocean isle beach surf fishing report" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Wenayden Xenaylee Blaster - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got great results with it.
Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "surf fishing topsail island" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Wenayden Xenaylee Blaster - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.
Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "oregon coast surf fishing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Wenayden Xenaylee Blaster - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.
I love fishing with my wife so much. We have so much fun even if we aren't catching. She is my best friend tho so we have fun doing whatever
Nice
Same boat buddy. Been with wife now 26 years of the best times. Love going fishing together with her! She always encourages me! Bless you guys and see you on the surf!
I wish i had someone to fish with ..
B N Jesus I could take a mistake from her and deal with a hook in the leg or finger but one missed wack of that axe and I could lose an arm! Lol
B N yeah dude sounds like we are the lucky ones. I love my bitch. Don’t let her see this reply lol. She’s my life and world dude. 22 years and still rocking. I’ll be live streaming with her in about 2 weeks. See my channel. Built a studio in one of my bedrooms. Lots of work and money and she was with me all the way! Got a fast forward construction of it all. Start to finish. Waiting on 2 pieces of furniture then I can put it all together on you tube. Soon. Remember subscribe and see us both on. I mean I hooked this studio up!
Hey bro, NO BS MAN.... i straight up used the info you shared here and I truthfully FINALLY CAUGHT FISH! Not one but 3 types of species unsung your techniques man. I appreciate the time you take to put these videos together as this was a great accomplishment for me. I’m no pro. Just got into fishing 3 years ago but it took me that long to finally catch a fish! Wish i seen this sooner man! Thanks! 🙏 💯 💪🏼
Full respect that you cooked the fish whole... So many high end fisherman youtubers with sponsored boats and drones, yet they dont know how to eat a fish without filleting the meat and turning it into a mayonnaise wrap... You did it right and with your partner :)
Been living near the shore for 3 years, tried surf fishing many times, and I only ever caught one fish in all that time. Watched a couple of your videos, got the right gear, used your techniques, and had my first fish in 15 minutes. I actually felt like I knew what I was doing, which was wild. As a funny side note, l had another much more experienced fisherman come over and give me compliments on my technique, which was even more wild. Thanks so much! Excited to try again tomorrow.
I loved the cooking segment of this video. Do more of that. Love to see what recipes people use for their catches.
Wow! Love this video, my granddaughter is learning so much about fishing with you guys, from these videos . We live in FL and she would to go fishing with you guys someday soon. That was a nice catch Erin we enjoyed watching you reel it in. Keep on making these videos. You have so much knowledge and is an inspiration to many young people, who loves fishing but do not have anyone to teach them. That goes for the adults as well, who would love to fish. Thankyou so much for making these videos.
Awesome!!! I live in Daytona Beach and just started surf fishing. Haven't caught a pompano yet, but I'm learning a lot with your videos. Thanks
Keep watching our show the next couple of weeks, we have more info on all the rigs and whatnot comming soon
I just want to thank you for your time. I'm new to ocean fishing and iv learned a lot from you.
Iv even past what iv learned from you to my son....thanks again.
apply with red onion and garlic spices cut into pieces mix sweet soy sauce, then apply on half-baked fish, and apply again after cooking
like us in Indonesia
It must be delicious, or it can be eaten with sweet soy sauce with chili and red onion pieces
Put a light coat of Olive oil on the fish prior to putting it on the grill, as well as brush a light coat on the grill itself with a napkin. That will keep the fish together and from sticking to the gill.
Hey Michael... I have great close friends with your last name, Luque. Where are you from? If you don't mind me asking 🤗
On behalf of everyone trying to learn.......Thank you!!
So happy to help.
Caught three nice keepers down in the gulf on my first ever shore outing last summer. Can’t wait to go back and try my luck again this year. Delicious!
I have lived in Central Florida for nearly 14 years and have yet to go surf fishing till a friend talked me into going with her and her husband. So I am looking to get into it and your videos are a huge help!!
I live in st.augustine fl and i use a 2 ounce weight and two orange beads with a swivel and hook....using shrimp i always catch reds, whiteing, and sheepshead. Once u learn the diffrence between a wave and a bite youll have it down
I always miss your jigs. How much weight, where its placed, size of hooks, etc please. Thank you.
This video was really interesting. But i was wondering could you please go really in depth in what sand bars are best to cast towards or more explaining where troughs could be. Thank you and great video
He recommended going to the beach at low tide before the water reaches the beach and you can see where the fish will hide out when hide tide comes,hope this helped take care
She's a strong little woman! Good job Erin!
Nice to see you back Paul! She was so happy with her fish!
Great catch. Never tried pompano but it looks super good. "Itis" is how you feel after you ate a big meal. Feeling full or stuffed, relaxed, tired. In hawaii we call it kanack attack! Lol
ALOHA 🤙
When you slam plates at BBQ then be like 'Uncle i like borrow couch'
Tip: Bleed it by cutting 1or2 gills so when you clean less blood and taste better👍 / good catch!
I have a 6500 Bait runner i bought over 20 years ago and it still works like it's brand new. After the season i just take it apart clean it and grease it. Excellent reel!
My wife and I love your videos, taught us a lot
Love the picture infor , it helps a lot , otherwise I look at waves like looking at rain drops .. they all look the same to me 😇
Senko this is just a great sene to see your girl latch on to a fish and reel her in! Last summer finally got wife to try it rather than watch me and she hooked 14 keeper porgies! She was so excited, but not like I was! She definitely hooked now and can’t wait to get out there with me again! Wife has always been my partner in everything I’ve done with her but that trip we did really topped it all! We love all your videos and suggest to anyone who wants to learn how to fish in the real world watch Senkos videos. You won’t be sorry! Thanks again guys!
Thank you Skipper starting surf fishing after many years Learned a lot from you and Erin. Now I can teach my grandchildren
I always like to get there when low tide has peaked, and look for the cuts or sloughs which are where fish use to travel, you guys are a good team , tight lines and thanks.
Hihi from South Africa. Its like a dream following you guys on UA-cam. Me and my little 9 year triplets love fishing the way you guys do, my boy never miss a fish. ❤
Another great video thank you guys so much. Because of you I have started my own page to share my fishing experiences. I'm not as knowledgeable as you guys but that's why I watch your channel to keep learning. You have made me so much better at fishing. THANK YOU!
Dude the fish went on the grill with a head and then came out with none...thats real magic 😀😁😂🤗 keep up the good videos love lerning from ye ✌👍
Thank you all for the videos! My family just moved to North Padre and I'm excited to do some surf fishing at Padre Island National Seashore. I'm a beginner so your videos were super helful!
Great video, I enjoy watching how to videos, and catch and cook videos. Keep up the good work.
Really loved the end of this video. Awesome to see young people get out there, catch this amazing fish, cook and eat it without wasting a bunch
Dude this couple is living the best life. As a grown ass man this is the most romantic movie I've ever seen and the shortest too. This is my first video of this channel.
Brendan screamed OH!! like Seth Rogan when she caught that Pompano! Awesome! ;)
I always wanted a Surf Fishing 🎣 Channel. Keep up the great work for a great sport. Now I gotta buy new Casting Rods 👍❗Thanks Again 😊
Lol the itis is when you get sleepy after a good meal 😂
Ok good, please share the images of your hooks and other accessories, Did you use any weight at the end of braiderline? Please share complete images of hooks, float and related accessories used in this catch
Awesome video guys. It's great to see Erin get in on the action. Man pompano is one of my favorites. We just bought some for dinner. They were 3.49 a pound. It was worth it. They are delicious.
Like your videos from PEI,Canada
I love your videos and the way you do things in America we in Australia do things totally different but it is nice to know how to beach your way love your videos respect from Australia
Hey Skipper, you guys make a great team and make surf fishing look really fun! Jersey Shore...here I come!!
I fished New Jersey beaches as well as Maryland.Off Jersey I caught sea bass,dogfish,and blowfish(puffers).Off Maryland I caught Spot.I also fished off piers off Jersey and caught kingfish.Loads of fun catching fish off the surf.
We need more videos of Erin fishing! That was awesome!
Definitely
I’m not gonna lie I was a little disappointed about not spending much time explaining reading the beach I would love to learn more about how to identify things but I’m happy for you guys and the awesome pompano you caught! Great job 👍👌
We have 2 more episodes coming out about surf fishing basics. Stick around our channel the next few weeks. I think we will answer a lot more
Thank you two for sharing your passion and knowledge with us. Keep going!
So nice to see you guys enjoying yourselves
Love from Sydney
Great advice I appreciate it! By the way the itis is when you eat and get sleepy after haha aka food coma! Made popular by Dave chapelle in reference to bbq ribs
The "itis" is basically food coma.
Haha yup
@@HeySkipper from boondocks! I still want a Luther Burger! :P
I came down to the comments just to know what it means, thanks for the explanation!
I get it after eating ribs haha
Fully agree with you - better to grill the fish whole. Way too much meat is wasted by cutting fillets (unless of course it's absolutely necessary with some fish). In South Africa, we like to grill it over wood fire coals.
I ordered a pack of the squidy bits mantle, and I'm really looking forward to trying it out when I go to Huntington Beach in a couple weeks :)
You can also put lemon in those cuts you have made, cuz it also makes the fish taste beautiful
Your girl outfished you :)! Don’t worry mine does to. Would have been nice to thank her during the meal for catching that delcious fish. A tip try wrapping the pompano in foil it keeps all the juices in and also stuff that puppy with ginger :)
Thanks, although I am from South Africa I enjoy your videos and tips
101 on how to spot a keeper! Yes, I'm talking about her...…...
Great videos. I used to live in NC and had a place at Atlantic Beach. There’s awesome fishing in NC, surf, inshore, off shore, you name it. Now, I’m back on Long Island. On the “itis”, you know those people don’t know about ninja itis or 🥷 tosis.
. I've always heard about low tide and high tide but I was not sure what to do with it. You guys had said two hours after high tide and 2 hours after low tide is when to fish. I will definitely give that a shot
Great fish guys awesome fishing makes me want to go beach fishing but rather watch you fish I find it amazing you find shark tooths on your beach nice find congrats
It was awesome to find the teeth man!
Man you’re always on time when i need something haha im down at new smyrna trying to figure out best spot to cast on the surf
Whole fish is always the best. The meat comes right off with a fork. The skin helps keep the meet from sticking to the grill grates. Salt with a touch of pepper is all thats needed.
Headed to the coast for our first fishing trip this weekend with the kiddos. Thanks for the great tips.
“Do I set the bait runner”famous last words for that rod...LOL Nice catch!
Lol
That was a beauty of a Pompano, such a good fighting fish too. Also, when I surf fish, I bring sand spikes that are around 4ft long and I use a rubber mallet to drive over half of it in. It might be a bit much, but it definitely gives me some peace of mind when I step away from my gear for a minute or two.
Yea... rubber mallet would have helped alot
Loved this video. Thank you for the arrows and diagrams during the surf reading section. I also liked the surf to table grilling explanation. Apprectiate these videos.
Love their energy
In the middle of the COVID lockdown now, I know what I'm going to try once we're out and about, again. 🙂 Thank you very much, wish you guys all the best !
Thank you for watchin! Wishing you a safe quarantine!
Meal looks absolutely delicious. But something seems to be missing, oh the rice!
Baked potato!!
Definitely not the way I’ve ever cooked pompano but I’m interested in trying it with some steaks for surf and turf night with the fam. Great vid as usual 👍
You got the suitcase Erin!
Another great video dude! It was great meeting you and Erin at the bait shop last saturday! Been workin all week but i'll be back at the beach tomorrow morning.
I love Pompano catch mine out of Ponce Inlet
in every vlog just give away some japanese words for every wiewers to learn like arigato... konichiwa something like that a words that easy to remember at the same time your channel also always remembered
In Hawaii after a big and great meal we say "kanak attack" because you just want to relax and perhaps sleep. I assume ITIS is kinda the same thing.
New to your channel too. You have a great girl bro. Pretty and bringing in the big fish. Awesome vid.
Watching you guys eat is so entertaining..
Im glad you had that quick pompano cooking tutorial
Nice healthy meal and cought yourselves. Well done guys!!🎣😎
1... 2... 3... SKIPPER! Thanks for sharing, I lol'd at the skipper part
Cool video, I am meeting a childhood friend of mine at Assateague Island to do some surf fishing (which I have never done) So watching this video was very helpful. Thanks and nice fish!!!
Good advice
Man you guys make it look easy. Im just getting into fishing. So every wave break means theres a sandbar under there? Great video I can’t wait to catch my first fish
Pretty much! Keep working on reading the beach. Go during LOW TIDE. See the features without the water over them
Thanks for showing me some tips. We are coming down to gulf Shores Alabama in December. Not sure what will be bitting that time of year but I am excited!!!!
awesome catches on those fish. casting into the surf is always exciting haha
Yes surf is my favorite!
Running with your info to the OBX next week Thanks! Be safe yall
I always learn from you. Dude you are the best. About time for me to order some more bait from you. Everything you do just works! Thanks so much. Oh yeah, skipper sells bait too and if you make a mistake like I did my first order he will gladly and promptly fix it. Buy his stuff and use his techniques. They work! Thanks again...all the way from Louisiana!
Thanks for the bait hooking tip! Ive always double hooked it.... Yeah it does look weird in flowing water! Thanks for the tip!
Hey!! Just stumbled across your videos!!! First one was about the gummy worm experiment!! So glad I did!! You helped me and my husband learn more about shore fishing!!!l so excited for our next trip to Galveston, Texas. I’m sure you have mentioned it before in your videos or comments, but super curious as to where you’re fishing??!?! Thanks so much for all of the videos!!!!!!
question all these different states that you fish in. Do you get a licence for every state
in my place it's pompano fish season ,, thank you for the explanation .. very useful ... always success for you,, 👍👍
This is the first time I see someone talking about choosing a place for good fishing at sea! Please subtitles in Russian
Skipper, you're the man!!! Salutes from mazatlán Sinaloa, México
I've learned a few things from your video, thanks for sharing God bless you both and happy fishing
I would use metal sand spikes they stay in very well
I just upgraded to them
Omg hi thanks for replying
If I were you when you go bass fishing use minnows or baby bluegill I caught a seven lb bass using a baby bluegill it is my profile pic
Dude she needs a ring. Any girl who can tie knots like that is one you should tie the knot with. Love the vids
My first time watching you guys. thanks for sharing your videos I learnt so much I will watch you guys often thanks!!
In your opinion, whats more important fishing Early Morning or At Night which is what I guess is the “stereotyped” way of fishing...or is the tides more important? Or! They go hand in hand lol. Thanks!
hour before the sun comes up in the morning, and hour as the sun goes down in the evening. Prime time....but for another type of fishing that's a little more primitive and always done at night, while you shuffle your feet through shin high water...flounder gigging.
yo my man senko skipper, gotta good one for yall to try on this Flounder gigging. Just need good sandy bottom and clear water. Less wind the better. Also never on a full moon. ok, so find some sand bars bayside. You can find spots along the shoreline, and boat isn't necessary. You just need sandy bottom and clear water. If the water is higher than the middle of your shins you're probably too deep. I've stuck em' with the water as low as just over the tops of my ankles.
You can use an underwater light you can find at your sporting goods store or online, and you'll need a motorcycle battery, a backpack, and simple electrical wire with connectors and alligator clips attached to the end. Youll also need a gig, found at your sporting goods store online. Or you can make them with broomsticks and large long nails or screws. If you don't want the light, you can make your own with a propane lantern. Put foil around the back half of the glass so it shines directly in front of you on the ground. Careful that thing will brand your legs like a moo cow if it touches you. Recommend the lights. I've used both, and won't use lanterns again to gig flounder. Under water lights with small motorcycle battery in back pack only way to go. Check Academy's website online - underwater gigging lights. Youll also need a stringer you can tie to your belt loop, and an old pair of shoes.
So there you have it. Gig, Underwater gig light/or propane lantern, back pack, motorcycle battery, electrical wire and clips to connect on the battery. Stringer. Shoes. Sandy bottom. OFF.
Pro tip. From the point/tip of your gig, measure up the gig 14 inches or whatever the limit size is for flounder in your state, and make a circle around it with a sharpee marker. When you walk up on a flounder, (always sliding your feet) they're usually half buried in the sand and not moving. You can take your gig and put it in the water right next to it, and measure to make sure he's a keeper.
Pro tip. Stay close with your gal. Me and my gf sometimes will hold hands standing right next to each other making a sweeping motion with our lights outside then back inside, covering a huge area. When you see a flounder, first make sure it's not a sting ray, which is obvious, but you might see one. Sting Ray's are scared of you and easily spooked off with your gig. You're also always sliding your feet so you have nothing to worry about.
When you stick your first saddle blanket, stay down on the gig. Get your lady to hold your light, and if needed assistance with keeping the gig down in the ground. You'll then string up the flounder either poking the stringer in right behind his teeth, or up through under his bottom lip. From the bottom side of his mouth. Then move on to the next.
Good luck. Use a go pro, this should be your next video...let me know if you catch, I've got a recipe for blackened flounder that will make you slap yo momma. Two fillets off each saddle carpet.
Peace reflection
And happy fishing.
Jhold
Jhold thanks for the info appreciate it!
Never been flounder gigging. We are gonna have to try that!
Greetings from Turkey I am happy to follow you
That's a queen fish, pompano is more rounded...the skin of that fish is so tough, good that you grilled it! Fish on! 😎
Just came across your channel great videos.
you guys should do more catch, clean and cook videos
Hello hello !!
Awesome tips but what if it's too far away to be reached ?
Also what it the colored things above the hook and what is it for ? Thanks 🙏🏽
Totally enjoy your videos particularly the technical components.
Yay Erin! Great job ! Great video!😻💝
