Thank YOU Mark so much! This set up is so important for us who don't fish as often as we would like to, the only way for us amateurs to learn is from videos like these. KUDOS to you bro!!!!!

Mark ! I did it !, I did exactly what you showed on this video, went fishing today at the Navy Base here Corpus Christi, oh man! it was great , caught 2 reds, 3 speckle trouts , lots of lady fish and perches, thanks Sir Mark, I even took the Colonel with me, he even had fun, guys follow this tips and you won't be disappointed,

Wrap the fluoro around the split shot twice then crimp.

Mark, I have been working non-stop for the past 4 years and haven’t had a chance to touch the water. With the lockdown going on I have 1st, found your channel. Thank You, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos. I really appreciate that it is places I have been or know. I have been watching current and going back to your old stuff. Good Job. 2nd, you have got me wanting to get back out to the water. Been out to the Jetties in Galveston a few times, now got to get back out on the Yaks. Living vicariously through you Sir.

Great video Mark!! I have a suggestion put a swivel on your leader it will help with line twist and wind knots use a swivel on a short leader under the cork maybe put your drop shot on above the swivel so it doesn't get stuck in the cork or use a glass bead you can also rigged it as a tandem rig and I've also fish it like this before with a Sabiki to catch bait. you always have great videos Mark keep them coming who knows one day we may even get to Fish together It's a small world I originally met you fifteen years ago before you ever famous on KZfaq when you were just that Marine I met at Toys R Us. have fun and tight lines.

Always learn something from you Mark! Thank you so much

Right on brother! Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to get back out there & try this setup out 🤙👊

Thank You so Much MARK!!!! Will be using this on my Next Rock Hopping Tour!!!!!

Great video ,love when you explain the rig setups , especially helpful for us beginners

I just set up exactly how he said I’m excited to try this new approach at the jetty’s thank you so much wish me luck

this is an AWESOME RIG. can't wait to try it

Just blew my damn mind. Simple, yet genius!

I should could have used this set up before going out there today! Thanks for the how-to vid!!!

Another great video. Man I can't wait for next Feb. First time in my 62 years I've been excited about fishing in Feb. PINS has it all. I think you should try some good ball bearing swivels. Cost is a bit much but they are worth it. Will work for "stops" and keeps your line twist free. I had good luck with a similar slip cork but it had "clappers" so with the right bait you are calling out to all their three senses, (scent, sound and sight) Stop by the Brownsville shipping channel near the Brownsville fishing Harbor in Feb. and say hello.

Thanks for the video! I’ve always wondered how to rig that up

Thanks for the tips!

Very well informational and instructional on this set up. Thank you for going so in depth and as far as the problem with the split shot riding up, sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. A small uni to make it stop slipping! Oh yeah, how much frustration did you save everyone with the discussion on leader length! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks Mark for the info set up! 👍🏻I will be trying the slip cork next weekend . Fish on bro.

When we fished the St. Johns River in the 70’s, we used a piece of rubber band as a cork stop.

Great vids, alot of help so that i can get back out there with results

Thanks for sharing Mark. Tight Lines and Full Limits to Ya.!

Thanks brother! I'll be there thursday-monday, if you are to be in the area, I would love to meet you and say hello! I appreciate you sharing your experience, any advice on spots other than the jetty and surf are for sure welcome. I have been watching your videos of Christmas bay, I havnt fished there yet, I will be the only one out of my group that has a yak.

Very informative, thanks Mark!

Awesome video brother as always!

Thx for the vid. Got another technique for my arsenal

Good instructional, thanks for sharing.

thanks for sharing hoping to try it out next week at Surfside

I have to watch it again later , went to the dentist today and i'm not a happy camper right now , i'm hurting, i need to learn how to use your tips, Thank you Sir.

Rubber band works great for a stop

Watching this on 2021. Thank you Mark

Nice rig setup!

Slip cork rigs work good for Sheepshead too I use 65lb-80lb braid for the stopper- Simple Uni knot

Thanks for sharing I know you need to fish deeper out there but never thought of a slip cork for saltwater

Mark at the Matagorda pier it's all smooth parking clean restrooms easy pier is free but a short walk to the end deep holes on the left side and a rock jetty continues down part the pier access to deeper water take a staircase to the jetty

Good setup

Excellent!

Thanks for the info

I'm just curious why not use a swivel instead of the unit knot for your split shot?

Good info thanks man!!

Nice might hv to try that setup drifting slp

I love this video

id suggest using another bead after the uni but before the split shot as that lead over time hitting that knot could compromise it..

#8 treble has worked for me for thirty years on everything.

😂😂😂 Put me back in coach😂😂😂👍👍👍

Nice! Now I’m not standing around looking creepy while I’m trying to see how the other peeps have terminals set up... 🤣

I like to use fairly small circle hooks. Once I learned to let them take it and just start reeling easy my hook up rate seemed to be about 20% better almost no spit hooks and absolutely no deep hooked fish.

Thumbs up on the vid 👊

Have you tried wrapping the line once around the split shot when it's open, then closing it (like the line goes around the back portion too)? That's how my dad taught me to use split shots

I got a feeling that the bobber stop might impede the line coming out thru the eyelet smoothly. It probably sacrifice some distance. But, I guess you can only fish as far as you can see your float, in this instance, distance is not relevant.

Instead of the knot at the split shot you could tie a swivel so the bait could spin freely and still stop the split shot.

Hey Mark. Thanks for all of your useful information and tips. As a long time fisherman I was wondering why you don't just use a barrel swivel set up instead of the double knot system that you show? I use a barrel swivel and pretie 20 or 30 pound mono leaders, ready to use for this type of fishing.

Hope I don’t sound dumb but wouldn’t a bobber stopper down by the hook stop the split shot

Do you have a hard time casting the bobber stopper through the eyes of the rod?

for some reason my leader isnt going down as much as i wanted. I'm using 20 pound braid and 40 pound fluoro, i dont know if the that's the reason.

does the cork pop? how do you use it? just let it sit till a fish comes by?

Nice area😚😚😚

What pound test line is your main line?

Are specs still hitting at the jetty during this time?

What if you used a weighted jig head instead of the weight?

What if your leader line pops....do you lose your cork? I wanted to know, i just bought a couple and cant wait to try this setup out!!

What store were you buying the bobberstop and little joe at?

The best slip cork instructional video EVER! Thank you very much. Make more videos of you catching fish with the method.

How do u fish the rig?????

Mark I'm new to your channel u should patent this and sell them just saying u have many ideas

reason I like the jetty cork is because it can take a beating on those rocks and still be in good condition. How well does these hold up against those rocks? are they plastic ? any signs of cracking?

How far are you able to cast the cork leader out is the cork weight in it ?

What size rod you use at the jetty and what brand you like that really light

What store did you find the pole float and bobber stpppers at?

Have you tried this rig in Baitcasting rod? Does the stopper get caught in the rod guides?

Would have been easier to wrap the leader once around the split shot, then pinch. I do this all the time and it never slips. Tying a knot to stop slippage creates another weakness point for line breakage.

I watched the video 3 times just wondering if for any reason u lose the leader set up u start over tying all the leader again or do u have some pre made Just want to say only because when its windy and night time my rig is a cajun rattler 3 improved clinch knots and I'm done also I never had a problem with the original clinch not ever they are a bit more but they have glass beads top and bottom of the cork which is weighted I tie the main line to top of the wire the beads and cork slip up and down on the wire .tie 6 -7 ft fluorocarbon to a 8 treble hook .This floater is loud in any water I learned this in Venice Louisiana and Matagorda paid guided trips reds and trout go crazy. U should go to the Matagorda pier excellent kayak situations for u and RX .If u dont know about it Google Rawlings bait camp from there a couple of miles 2-3 minute drive speed limit down the same road past the bait camp u will b there and see many spots.No crowds or fishing pressure hidden far a real gem to fish.Camp opens at 6am .I will pay your gas tank to c a video of where I catch fish the honey holes are in front of the rocks between the sand and pier a hidden jetty below the pier it's to the righteous of the pier as u go to the end sow trout u know when its time.U probably dont care for Whiting but they look like 16 inch reds.I leave downtown Houston 4am and in line before 6 to give u a time frame hope u go if u never been .I'm not good with the science of fishing I go when I want never cared about whether I have to say I always catch something there .behind the vamp is an open channel that goes out into open water for the locals on moving tides its wicked hope u get to go if I receive a notification video I will pay your fuel.Honestly .U help people and I feel like fishing is for everyone o dont mind sharing some u knowledge we all cant fish at the same time plenty of fish for all.

How did those #10 size hooks work out for you?

Hi I’m new to fishing. We fish in Freeport jetty. I tried to understand the video, but I’m still having a hard time. What’s the whole reason for this set-up? Thank you.

I agree, it’s far superior compared to the jetty cork.

the fishing rod you are using looks good. what is the company and what is the model.

“7 incher” Thanks you

does it help keep the crabs off your bait ? 🐟

Try a piece of rubber band and crimp it onto the line

Tying the knot to keep the split shot from sliding down to your hook is a fly fishing technique, check out Mr Humphries an expert Fly Fishing genius.

dose it cast better then the jetty cork?

so, is ur leader line only 7'' long?

Couldn’t the uni to uni knot act as a bobber stop? Leader would be longer, but same concept?

Bravo - As a leader Teach people to throw excess line or uni knot plastic in trash container as everything will end up in the sea .. fishing line will trap and kill birds and fish for next 20 years

figure 8 knot.....

Dude you paid $700 for that reel? Yikes
