Great video. How do you like have the front mounted hitch/basket? Any issues with the surf rods banging around while driving? Thanks
@louisraatz504915 сағат бұрын
It works well. I haven't had any issues with the rods banging together. It's convenient having the cooler on the front to put your fish in and your bait is right there. You just have to remember to take the weights off the rods before you start driving. The weights will beat up your rods as you bounce down the beach. Thanks for the question. Tight lines and bent rods. Louie

Sir where did you get the cooler rack and rod holder for your Tacoma
@louisraatz504928 күн бұрын
I built it. I used a rack from harbor freight and added the pvc pipes. When I build a new one I will be sure to use the aluminum one they sell. This one really has rusted. I have cleaned and painted it a couple of times. Thanks for the question. Tight lines Louie.

Those lady fish are awesome cut bait.
@louisraatz5049Ай бұрын
I like using them sometimes. Seems like the fish were only biting on dead shrimp go figure. I tried live mullet cut whiting and cut skipjack. The cut whiting did catch a 17 in trout i didn't even know it was on the line. Thanks for the comment and tight lines Louie

Yep, drone footage is great. Thanks much sir. Really enjoy your videos. I’ve been struggling to catch good size whiting lately. Both at mustang and on PINS. Not sure what’s up because it’s kind of unusual to not at least catch a few decent sized whiting as a fallback species. They are tasty though so not sure why I call them a fallback species. 😂😂
