tell ya a cool little trick to getting you pvc into the sand. Cap the flat end with your hand go to the water and will it with water, hold it up side down carry it to where you want to put it, then quickly stick it into the ground. The water will dig a hole and you can push it is the sand up to a foot pretty fast and easy!!

You still fishing? I saw Fort Fisher and had to ask. It's usually my go to beach for walking out from a beach access to fish. I've had decent luck there and love the area especially when it's not vacation season.
@jewwyjones97604 жыл бұрын
@@adventureswithken1983 you may know by now but everything he said applies to NC surf fishing. Typing from Monroe but I'm no stranger to the Topsail area and all around. I'm new to tying my own rigs like he did but I've found an ugly hand tied fluorocarbon rig with good knots beat store bought. As in the drop rigs with metal swivels and clips etc. Fish aren't that picky but that's alot of hardware in the water. I'd imagine all those "connections" decrease sensitivity vs. just the one line. Ntm clip swivels can fail with big fish. They get hung up on stuff too. I usually tie my own rigs to a barrel swivel to be tied to my main line. That way the rig can roll around in the surf without twisting my main. Not that you asked 😏

Dave Knowl you can easily make your own with 1.5 inch diameter pvc pipe. Pick it up at home chepo cut to desired length. Drill a hole and add a bolt and it where you want the rod to sit in it. Then you can flare the rod holder end with some heat and a wine bottle. Jam it in there. You can then mount some aluminum edge corners to the pvc to make it much easier to stick in the sand.
@Spacefishtv6 жыл бұрын
Michael's DIY tip is good, but if you just want to make it simple, go to a specialty surf tackle shop, like Black Dog Bait & Tackle in Melbourne Beach. They will always have them. I've seen higher sitting stakes at Walmart before, but wouldn't count on them being there reliably.

Good question, sorry for the delayed response. The piece of plastic creates a plane on the water, helping your rig glide across the water on retrieve. This is especially helpful in avoiding snags on beaches with rocks or structure. These are surprisingly effective and are made by John, but anyone can easily make their own at home.

Hey Gustavo, there's tons of great quality surf fishing rod/reel brands available that you really can't go wrong with. I'd only recommend NOT shopping at Walmart. Even though they carry a lot of top brand names, the models of which are the lowest denominator in terms of quality, and in some cases, manufactured specifically for Walmart. Visit a locally owned retailer/outfitter and they'll set you up nicely. You may pay a few dollars more, but ultimately you'll get a lot more bang for your buck (and enjoyment).

@brandongestwick77797 жыл бұрын
It is far more difficult to get a far cast with the shorter rods.
@CasualElk7 жыл бұрын
Sean Hanley depends where you are and how far you need to cast. If you are fishing high tide with small surf right in the trough small poles are great. In the same conditions with bigger surf you want a bigger rod to keep your line above the waves. If you need to get out to deeper water though you definitely need the biggest rod you can get your hands on that's priced reasonably. get a huge reel and put on some mono backing finished with 20lb braid. Use a 3oz sinker and send it to the moon.

Sean Hanley i dont know where that is but if your bottom fishing near rocks youre screwed no matter what you use. I would use 20 lb mono line and a cylindrical sinker if your fishing the bottom. If your fishing the top use 20 lb braid line and flouro leader with just a hook and your bait.
