The HOT bite is at Texas City Dike (S7 E53)

I've spent the past few days trying to catch big fish at different spots. I've spent hours waiting patiently for a bite and failed miserably. So it was time to go back to Texas City and fish the Dike. It has has been the one spot that has consistently produced big black drum. Just remember to use live blue crab and they'll find your bait.

That guy misses more fish with the circle hooks because he tries to set the hook! Never set the hook with circle just reel! Strong Work on them Uglies!

I see "Hot bite is at Texas Chitty," and think the mosquitoes must be radioactive. 🥵 ~~Thanks for the upload~~

true, it is not a totally innaccurate thought at all😅 no doubt! But also, or, and also, a windy day denies mosquitoes access to your skin. At my “night fishing spot”, we usually prefer the south wind nights. 10mph. It’s enough to keep the mosquitoes away, but not chop or muddy the water too hard. Also, I always pack a full body mosquito net suit. It’s just like a regular jogger sweatsuit. But constructed out of that mosquito net stuff. It is fantastic for no-wind nights when the mosquitoes @me like a friggin’ flare in the night😅. I also am extremely generous with spray-deeting myself so that the deet smell coming off of me is just unpleasant.😂. So in the end, I also pack a change of shorts and shirt for when we are finished fishing for the night under lights.

As a rod builder it makes me shake my head when I see rods going down the road in a truck bed or or rigged up in the boat. Great way to destroy a rod.

i’ve only used dead crab once before. Wanting to again on account of all my favorite fishing tubers clearly demonstrating their effectiveness!😅 Alas I was also sorta kinda disappointed by the amount of bait stealers I was dealing with. It was like the reds or the blacks didn’t even have a chance if they were even there. I couldn’t get a bait to even last 20 minutes before I would pull up a totally hollowed out shell from piggie perches nipping. So, how yall avoid that? Maybe it was just the spot I was at? I was at a spot of about 4 ft next to the bay next to the old Galveston causeway. Was just experimenting with the crab that day to see if I could entice a red or a black in the area! I know reds come through there because we’ve caught slotties before.

Normally I buy my blue crab in the Asian market then take them to fish in the jettie. Haven’t been fishing yet but am hoping water is warm enough next month for trout at surfside jettie. As Mark have you thought about using a bait feeder spinning reel? It perfectly for jetties fishing the bottom and have all the things a bait caster have but in spinning reel form.

Do you make your own leaders?

@nozrep 5 ай бұрын

i think he does. Pretty sure he has some videos in the archive of his channel where he did some demonstrations of how he makes his leaders for those long pole set ups. But you’d have to click over to his archive and peruse the older videos. I myself actually learned how to tie a double-uni leader to mainline knot from watching his demonstration a couple years ago

unless you’re using three ought o’shaugnessy hooks like me then you still gotta set it right?

i only bought the pack of o’shaugnessies because they were a dollar cheaper at academy than the kahle hooks and the circle hooks. But yah, I’m that type of budget fisherman. Gotta have that extra dollar for bait!
