Not yet! I haven’t been over there either, not sure what kind of depths. Seems like it would be worth a shot.

Thanks for checking it out Evan! Love your content too!

Thanks for watching J&D!

I had a clear red glitter DOA shrimp on the popping cork with shrimp procure. Hope this helps…I also like to use live bait on the pooping cork when available. Thanks for watching!

I was using cut mullet and/or live mullet on the Carolina rigs that day. Thanks for watching JM!

Good luck out there!

Yes sir! Can get dicey!

Insta360 x3

Great ideas ns! I will try to focus more on this in the future. I’m a relatively new salt water fisherman so I feel weird giving advice because I’ve been worried about the experienced guys tearing me up in the comments. That said, if they do, this will be good corrective input for everyone! Thanks for watching, blessings my brother!

Minnkota 45lb thrust

20lb flouro…under normal conditions this is more than enough but the fish were wrapping around the pilings causing the line to break.

Yeah, was a really pretty one!

Thanks AH! I use the Insta360 x3. Files record in 30 minute segments. I have a 1TB memory card and the camera is wired to a power bank. I can record all day with that setup.

I bought it at Great Outdoor Provision Company in Wilmington, NC. It is an Old Town Autopilot 120.

Thanks for watching Chef!

I have 100ah battery. I run it at a maximum speed setting of 8. I never run it empty and typically fish about 8 hours in coastal/inshore settings.

I’ll be there! I went once last year but didn’t find them. Hoping for this year!!

@@meistershyster I’ve gone the last two seasons and we’ve managed 1-3 drum per trip. From the Oriental ramp, we go out into the main channel and I usually try to fish drops I can find on the Navionics maps or in spots where there seems to be a lot of baitfish. We use sabikis tipped with shrimp to catch fresh bait (pinfish, mullet, croakers) and keep them alive in a floating minnow bucket. I’ll fish 2-4 rods with either live or cut bait on the bottom and check them about every 30 minutes or so to make sure they still have bait. It goes from boring to exciting very quickly when the drum hit, as they will bow over a Heavy or Extra Heavy rod like it’s nothing. Hope this helps a bit. See you out there!

Thanks for checking it out Oscar!

Always a great time out there. Say hi if you see me out there.

They’re smart! When I got them out they were swimming circles under the yak looking for pilings.

Thanks for the sub PenCo! I’ll look for your channel. Feel free to send a link in the comments for other folks.

@meistershyster awesome! Thanks man! I don't like trolling other channels for subs but I appreciate the offer! Be safe out there! And tight lines! Enjoying the content!

Thanks for watching breeze!

Thanks Zeke! Single day trip…fished from 5 - noon. Beautiful area up in Oriental. Wish it wasn’t a 2.5 hour drive from Wilmington.

I kayak fish Oriental and usually just catch specs, but I caught my PB Bull drum in Belhaven. 37 inches!

@@shaunhenderson2071 Good work my friend!!

Hope you found some!

😂 That sheep was so tiny! It’s good to know that there could be some bigger ones down there! I still had a 3/4oz jig tied on…I couldn’t believe that little fish hit that.

Haha!! Oh no!! There were a bunch of people out walking it on Saturday too. I’d like to do that sometime. Go out at low and fish through the tide cycle.

Southport is my favorite. Fort fisher is a close second. Oak island is definitely growing on me.

@@meistershyster OK good to know I live in the Wrightsville Beach area and Fish here all the time I’ve never once ventured out to Oak Island or Southport, but I want to switch things up and try some new territory tomorrow and I think you answered my question. Thanks! Keep the videos coming, I love to watch your content… 👍🏻👍🏻

Also where should I launch my kayak from if I head to Southport?

Thanks for watching Ricky!

I launch from Dutchman’s creek boat ramp but it’s about 2 miles down to the Elizabeth river where I fish.

Welcome to the area! A good place to start would be the 31st st kayak launch. I would focus on high tide as it’s pretty shallow back there. I also like around varnamtown…check out those videos for spots. Haven’t seen an gators around there but I have around Southport. I’m sure they’re out there but my experience is that they leave you alone. Worst case smack em with ur paddle.

@@meistershyster Thanks! This info is super helpful! I think I will try 31st next week. Thanks for replying. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

Good luck out there! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help!

Thanks for watching bombtech!

Same…I’ve been mulling over trying that area for a couple years now but this is my first time trying it. I will be back!

Nice class of fish there!

@@meistershyster Im still trying to find some. Last weekend was just flounder central down at fort fisher. Tomorrow im gonna try out sharktooth island

@@hhedges How'd you do? I went fort fisher today. Was a mix bag. Hope to have the video out Thursday.

@@meistershyster pretty well! Got a huge sheepshead and a few other decent ones. Small black drum too

Nice work! I’m still looking for some big sheep. I’ve mostly found dinks. One today was about 3.5”…lol! Might try snows cut next week.

Yeah, makes for some fun, fast action!

Agreed! That one corner seems like it would be perfect. Good depth, current, structure…weird.

Wish I could have found those! That’s what I was targeting Saturday. I’ll never turn down a school of top slot red though!

Thanks cbreeze!! Glad you’re liking it.

Thanks for watching Cole! Glad you’re enjoying the content!

Just resupplied on them! Can’t believe that I went sheepshead fishing with only one…smh…

That’s quite the compliment! I’m a big fan of EliasV. Thank you for that and Thank You for watching!

I use a Insta360 x3 camera. It’s a 360 degree camera that records everything (for better or worse) all the time. After filming, I frame the video to the areas I want to focus on.

Yes, yesterday was 90+ degrees and I had several overheating issues. Missed some good action. I like to fish early mornings whenever possible to minimize the issue.

@@meistershyster yeah I hate miss filming catching fish so I have trying to adjust the way I film while on the water and was curious as if you have had the same issues. Thanks for the response

Yes! I pretty much only fish Saturdays due to work schedule. Hope we can connect!

Thank I’ll add you

Super spook jr Okie shad color

@@meistershyster Ill have to give it a shot when I head down to fort fisher this weekend with the yak

Southeast of Zekes island is where I’ve had most of my luck on topwater. Good luck! Hope you find them!

Nice!! Let’s figure out a time to go!

Thanks breeze!

Awe shoot! Wish you would have gotten on them too. Sometimes it’s easier to just park the kayak and fish from shore in those areas. Have done that quite often.

Thanks Gabe!

Thanks for watching Jack!
