I have about 6 KastKing reels..spinning and bait castings. I have used the flouro,momo and braid. I have been fiahing for over 50 years. And all of their products have never let me down. The affordability and quality make it a great budget alternative. BTW..the larger Stripers still haven't arrived in the part of the Hudson that we fish..yet...

I am pretty siked on the reel. So far so good. Very curious about the braid, thats great to hear you use it. Everything is a little late this year but doesn't surprise me. The waters still warm. But some excellent bait standing by all over the city. Cheers fishn365!

I caught a 5lb weakfish @crossbay bridge on a krocodile lure back in 98 - I was a savage casting that thing and bringing it back super hot, and that rod would Bend and lock in on whatever I hit! Good times. Never ate them though. Been hooked on catch and release since I caught a striper that was pregnant and huge! I felt like I was giving back to the hobby since that, I love releasing my catches after a quick pic. Loving your videos my brotha, can’t wait to see the work you do with that cast-king reel. Tight lines brotha.

I thought the squid drop was interesting. it almost makes me feel like the fish know squid move out, so it's not normal for them to be here, while crabs and muscles become more prominent and available as a food source. maybe I'm giving fish too much credit, but it's interesting, to say the least.

I use weakfish for sashimi, and it is really different. Southern varieties of speckled trout have parasites and are not okay for raw consumption. But the northern variety is parasite free, incredibly soft and buttery in texture and clean in flavor. By law, all fish sold for raw consumption must be flash frozen to kill parasites, so you can't buy weakfish sashimi officially. The meat would turn to silly putty if you flash froze it and then defrosted it.
@BobAquaticКүн бұрын
Damn that is cool, I didn't know you could eat weakfish raw. It has a flavor that often turns me off cooked but I would be really curious how the raw taste is. They smell totally fine when I filled them.

@@BobAquatic The only thing is you really do have to get them bled and on ice fast. I live in Canarsie, so it's no issue. I used to plug the beach with waders by bicycle, so I know it's hard. A small cooler bag with ice should do it.

Hey Bob! Wow, glad to see you actually tried out what I was suggesting. From the video it doesn't seem like you enjoyed it a bit. However, I have to tell you that curry looks good although it can be a little bit less pasty and a bit more runny. Not sure if that conveys it well.

Oh no I loved it! I spaced out while cooking in the other room and let the curry thicken too much but since the weakfish was in there it like absorbed.

Hey! I appreciate you watching and glad to hear you are getting out fishing in the city. Are you fishing close to the bottom with them? I would try and adjust your rig so the worm has the ability to touch bottom. If thats not working try and do some snap pops with the worm and then let it touch bottom, pop the rod upward, then let the worm touch bottom. It'll vibrate the floor and bring fish over out of curiosity.

@@3601christopher sometimes the fish will be more likely to hit one or the other so if you put both you can increase the chances. Also, if a fish takes the real bait and you lose it without knowing, if you have an artificial on there too then you will at least still have something on the hook to attract the fish rather than a bare hook.
