Pompano Brownie, I hope to be as good as a Pompano fisherman as you and your father!!!!

Winner of a video, I have been researching "surf fishing truck platform" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Wenayden Xenaylee Blaster - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my colleague got amazing results with it.

Everyone gets lucky!

Lol reds are like catfish when it comes to food, as long as it fits in their mouth they don't care how you present it 😂

😂 typical

Thanks so much!

You’re not the only person to say this thanks!

Lmfao

The hoood man.... 😯

I was cringing 😖

I can't tell what kind of vehicle it is but I'm assuming it's a truck. Who buys a truck and cares about the paint. It's not a sports car. When you buy a truck you use it. I purchased a brand new truck it had 80 miles on it by the time I got it home. The first thing I did was take it back in the woods rolling down a trail. Put little scratches all down the side, but I never paid atention to it till someone pointed it out to me. My answer was "yeah so it's a truck." 🤷🏻‍♂️

Luke McCardle thanks for that comment! I can go over-the-top sometimes. Fish can be caught on the heavy duty stuff but overall I think you’ll be more consistent with bigger fish using the other rigs. Thanks for adding your experience it helps the overall content of the channel!

Smaller hooks are better!

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Man yes! Experiment with it!

I’d love it! Yes I prefer flourocarbon to mono.

Yeah I can’t fish the beach period!

Perfect

Thank you sir!

Sea-Squatch 1 that’s a great idea! I’ve tried to fish lately but Navarre Beach is covered in algae!!!! It’s a mess!!!

Man I’d love to fish out there!

robert gagnon - driving to Murrells inlet tomorrow to fish and look for jobs and places. Been tying rigs all week. Many different types, haven't caught a pompano either. Hopefully some of these I've tied work, I did have fun makin them. Gonna sit on pier and practice and give some away to see what works. Thanks for posting, Im not the only one trying to move to the coast for a while. Needed a reason, now I've got a good one. Gonna fish every second I can while there and not driving around doing recon.

I hope you find success tying your own rigs and yes! It’s the only way to go!

@@FishGum and to be honest about it, I bought 4 or 5 different packs of fish bites while down there, and Idk if it was the fact that I was using store bought rigs when using it or if its just the fish in the Myrtle Beach and murrells inlet area, but in MB, the only thing that would touch the stuff was little bait thieves. In the inlet, NOTHING would touch it!! Again, Idk if it was the store bought rigs or if it was the fish. I literally tried 3 or 4 different flavors, some of the flavors in different color variants. All flavors and colors that should've drove the fish NUTS!! but not a single bite worth touching the rod over. Next time imma try it on a hand tied rig and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't, imma try some fish gum. Maybe that'll work up here.

Thank you for the support!

You’ll find some great rigs there!

That’s good to know thanks so much!

Why would you paint some sinkers?

@@dragginmedown Painted as an attractant.

It’ll help a ton! Thank you for the comment!

Walter Holcher amen! They make me made too!!! A waste! Thank you for joining my channel!!!!

Thank you! The fishing should pick up then. You’ll catch Pomps and Whiting for sure.

What species do you catch?

@@FishGum Alot of inshore species. In the last few trips we've caught Reds, Big Uglies and puppies, Sail Cats (I know, trash but I eat the mess out of them), variety of sharks, Whiting, Sand and Speckled Trout... Craziest recent catch was a huge longnose gar on the Eastpoint bridge on a live finger mullet... on a Boone mono rig. We've used Fish Gum almost every trip this summer, BTW. Love it in both surf and backwater/bay/marsh. We've caught everything....except a daggum Pomp on it so far.

Me too!!!!

Just remember to shorten the single drop if the current or waves are strong. It will tangle up the long line. I use 20lb SeaGuar Flurocarbon. Thanks

Small splitshot works good too

I got plans to sell some one day!

I know! I learned my lesson

There are some good rig options out there, and some bad ones!

I learn from fishing with that crap!

I’m sure you could

There’s a little learning curve but you can master things fast!

Ebay has some floats, and I use 12 foot rods mostly

+Mark C www.ebay.com/itm/ROCK-ISLAND-SPORTS-RIG-FLOATS-TEARDROP-FLOATS-10-ct-/282836817254 here’s the link

+Jeremy F I’ve got a how to already on my channel!

Thanks Randy! I hope it helps a ton!

Thanks so much!

Your welcome!

LongviewGarage, I hope it helps, it’s things I’ve observed along the way. Still learning though!!!

Bill Kennedy, if your talking about Bama Beach Bum Matthew Isbell, he’s a good one to learn from. It’s so neat how we do things a little different, he fishes 2oz Pyramid weights and I prefer solely 4 Oz. He uses about 9 foot rods and I use 12 foot. Do you live over on the bama gulf coast?

I usually use the pyramid - 1 oz per foot of wave. Thinking about trying a Sputnik weight to reduce the weight

I’ve never used a Sputnik, maybe I should. I have never heard the rule 1oz per 1 foot of wave that’s pretty cool and makes total sense. I primarily stick with 4oz so I can increase my casting range. Those baits will sail a country mile or to Cuba (to quote BBB). I am honored to have your input! Thanks for sharing all you have. I’m ALWAYS learning and love to try new things and invent a little too.

Man I have changed a lot! The longer the leader and size of leader the more prone to twisting! It you tie it low low, that’s fine as long as you’re using pyramid weights and not Sputniks. You can get away with 17 lb test in a majority of water conditions. However 15-14-12 lb test will twist on you in 2 foot wave conditions and greater. The longer the leader the more prone to twisting, the heavier the leader the less prone to twisting. I think we should use light leaders but only if we are dealing with less than 2 foot waves.

Great rig! Yes

Bill Kennedy thanks man! I get a lot of compliments on it!

It might work out, shoot me a comment when you are in the area. I actually live in Navarre, Florida. Will you be passing through Pensacola Beach/Navarre Beach?

I live in vero beach fl so I can make that happen. Plenty of time to plan. Thanks.

Thanks you too!

I changed it a little and I’ll be making some soon! Thank you!

You’re gonna love it!

Jim Callaham the swivel from the hook line to the main line helps a whole lot from it getting tangled. However, if you notice the line is still getting tangled you’ll have to shorten the hook line a bit. Also, if there is heavy slimy June Grass it will cause it to tangle. Hope that helps. You may have to experiment to find the right length of the hook line to minimize tangles. Also, the longer hook line should be good in 1-2 foot waves, you’ll have to shorten the line when waves are >3 feet. Thanks for the question!!!!

Your welcome!

Jim Callaham, I used to tie that “natural rig” without a swivel and it was a mess because of the current. Your right the swivel does the job and keeps the line from tangling. Let me know what you catch this season!!!!

I know it was a mean thing to do to my truck!

I think smaller the better 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch

Your welcome!

Thankfully a GoPro made it sound a whole lot worse than it was!

I was cringing the entire time lol.

Now that's really funny right there!!!!

Well I've caught a ton of catfish on them rigs so there usefully to me

Thanks for the recommendation

LongviewGarage thanks! I think it came out great!

My gosh that’s incredible!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

I’ll be careful next time!

Aaron Allen, thanks for reaching out, I will let you know next time I go out to surf fishing! Cya

Fish Gum thanks, I have a Penn Fierce II 4000. Is it too small for the surf?

Aaron Allen, the way I approach surf fishing outfitting is right bait, right rig and right line (braided)! Many people come from all walks of life and have different types of rods and reels already. So you don’t need to have the 12 rods and bigger 704z reels like I use. Fish with what you have and you can still catch great fish! I am not too worried about the type of rod and tee you own. It’ll work! I plan of filming a lot using a variety of rods and reels to show that you can fish with the stuff you already have.

Fish Gum I’m fishing with braided line with 30 lb test. I keep it simple. I have spoon, popping forks and usually use Carolina rig. It’s one of the reasons I never really did surf fishing because I’m new. I caught some nice red and black drums

Aaron Allen, that’s perfect! You’ll be ok rigging that with a 2oz pyramid, and making gentle casts and setting it up with a Pompano Rig. I fished with some friends whom I told to bring their own rods. One friend showed up with a 1970s zebco rod and reel. With the right bait and rig he landed a Pompano on it. That made me feel good!

+Fuad Said www.ebay.com/itm/ROCK-ISLAND-SPORTS-RIG-FLOATS-TEARDROP-FLOATS-10-ct-/282836817254 They have a great selection of floats

You are right on the money!

Eagle Claw Circle Sea

Thanks for disagreeing! Your right! From experience you’ll have greater success at catching more fish by selecting other premade options

It’s added color to attract fish

@@FishGum OK

Here ya go! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLOFhbZpqrbOooE.html

@@FishGum Nice!!!! Thanks!! I will try it on the East Coast of Fl.

Aaron Allen, there is a red tide present at Navarre Beach, however it is not as bad as it was in 2015. That year fish were dying and washing up on shore. I think that with the cold fronts coming through it should lower the water temp and the red tide algae should die off. That’s good news. It is affecting Surf Fishing because fish will seek clearer water with higher oxygen levels. I have not attempted to fish because last time I went out my eyes burned, throat hurt, and coughed from the red tide. I caught nothing that day. The sound is fine! Good luck! Maybe in a couple of weeks the red tide will be gone, the water looks better each day on the Navarre Beach Cam.

I’ve been in the sound two days and 0 irritation it’s lively at Navarre half hitched just hooked a stingray about 10 mins ago

Aaron Allen, those stingray fight like heck!!! I will probably get out to Navarre Beach this Saturday AM, with a couple of friends, I will let you know for sure Friday. Your welcome to join.

Fish Gum i work 11-8 Saturday :( I’m going to head out there tomorrow morning and see how the tide is. I am hoping the cold front dispersed the red tide. I may surf the bayside underneath the Navarre bridge. Didn’t catch anything except the ray.

Aaron Allen how did it turn out fishing?

Lol! I sure did! I love my old truck

Two comments? Did your feels get hurt about the Walmart trash rigs?

@@andrewsanford2020 ????

Yeah my hood took a lil beating

Thanks

Yeah redfish and whiting got some sharp teeth. They chomp through my 30lb fluorocarbon all the time. I need one of them Walmart rigs.

I am going to work on getting some so I can sell them to people. Thanks for your support!

Fish Gum OK - let me know when they’re available. I’ll be on Spring Break in Destin (live in Michigan) the 1st week of April. I’d be happy to sport the lid on the beach ;-). Thanks for the surf fishing tips, I’ll be fishing every day while I’m there and I plan to try the colored hooks and weights. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Thanks
