Thanks for the compliment! I hope you catch some big ones.

Please kindly upload more and more videos. Not only they are extremely educational but also they are your legacy for the current and future anglers. My son who is 5 years old and I watch your videos every night. Please keep going.

I will try to get some more content up soon.

Glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching.

You are most welcome naveen!

Hi Charles. Glad you found this one useful. Thanks again for watching.

Thanks again Charles, and thank you for watching!

Thank you Charles.

Hi robert! Canada to Panama, that's a big switch. I wish you the best of luck in your new life and hope you catch many new species that I've never heard of :-)

Hi ITF66. Nope. I would throw a Tsunami Sand Eel, SS Needlefish, or a tin lie a Deadly Dick. I did tell of a time when we had a massive sand eel bite about 13 years ago, but the heavy northerlies had brought bunker in close to shore and there were bigger fish on the bunker the nobody was fishing for. I was throwing a bottle then. This was all at night and under cover of darkness. But sand eels are sand eels, give'em what they want. Sand eels don't migrate, so they are the only bait that will hold fall migrating bass in one spot for a period of time. Thanks for watching.

Hi Nuno. If the troughs are deep enough, yes, at high tide. I hear Portugal has beautiful beaches.

@richtroxler yes. Portugal has beautiful beaches.

Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching and thank you for the sub.

I am telling you where to fish LOL.

Hi bet. Thank you. That's a nice thing to say and I appreciate it. Thank you for you also and for watching.

Hi ben. Oh, so you're on LI. You're on my former stomping grounds. Look me up on FB and message me and we'll talk.

You're very welcome, and thanks for the sub.

Hi ben. Rods, reels,etc are tools, but 2K worth of rods and reels won't catch anything if you don't have the knowledge. Your on the right track. Thanks for watching.

Hi ben. Sorry for the late reply. I've been working on some music projects and getting some of it out on streaming platforms. I wish I could clone myself LOL. I've got a lot of content spred around on my channel, so feel free to check it all out. It'll all up your game. Yeah, walking the dog is when it gets nasty. Sometimes I just go home, sometimes I get stubborn and walk the dog, particularly if I think (or smell) there are fish around. Thanks for watching.

Hi art. Sorry for the late reply. I've been working on some music projects and getting some of it out on streaming platforms. I wish I could clone myself LOL. Winter is a good time to practice. Just look at the beach at low tide and then again at high and see the difference in the way the waves break over whatever structure was there at low tide. Thanks for watching.

Hi alex. Sorry for the late reply. I've been working on some music projects and getting some of it out on streaming platforms. I wish I could clone myself LOL. Bottle plug is a great plug. Thanks for watching

@@richtroxler I told myself that I going to learn how to fish this plug more effectively next season. Question, there seems to be to my understanding two bottle makers, Super Strike is one and Gibb's is the other. There seems to be a lot of lure Manufactures doing Darter's, Metal Lips, Pencil popper's even glide baits, But Bottle lip plugs, not that many, do you have an opinion to why this is? and Gibb's make a 1oz bottle lip plug, could you see yourself using that size, say midsummer on a clam beach OR is it just the 2 3/8 size from Super strike all the way?? Thanks for any info given.

While the SS is my go to, I have also used all 3 sizes of the Gibbs bottles. They are good plugs. Just don't let the Bluefish turn them into tooth picks LOL.

Hi Garou. Sorry for the late reply. I've been working on some music projects and getting some of it out on streaming platforms. I wish I could clone myself LOL. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. I hope it helps you out.

Hi HAPPY. Sorry for the late reply. I've been working on some music projects and getting some of it out on streaming platforms. I wish I could clone myself LOL. I'll have to get back to you on that. I thought that was covered in either part-1 or part-2. I'll check.

Hi ande. Sorry for the late reply. I've been working on some music projects and getting some of it out on streaming platforms. I wish I could clone myself LOL. Glad you found my video useful. Thanks for watching and for the sub.

Hi yo. Sorry for the late reply. I've been working on some music projects and getting some of it out on streaming platforms. I wish I could clone myself LOL. I'm glad you found the video useful, that's the purpose, and you are very welcome. Thank you for watching!

You're very welcome, and thanks for watching!

My pleasure Tony! Where was that pic of you on that bike taken? I had one back on LI, but it was for riding sidewalks to the bridges and back bays where you couldn't park. Always had a buggy for the beach.

That's our old stomping grounds on Fire Island. I'd usually ride east to avoid the crowds or west to Demo when it was closed for the birds. I think there's more restrictions these days. I'm up on the ESVA now. Unfortunately they don't allow bikes on the beach at either Assateague Parks. I do miss cruising the beach.

@@richtroxler That was on our old stomping grounds at Fire Island. I was able to get away from the crowds or hit Demo when it was closed for the birds. Unfortunately down here they don't allow bikes on Assateague (MD & VA). I do miss cruising the beach.

Same down here in VB. The closest is OBX NC. I do a lot of my fishing by layak now.

Hi Jose! Sounds simple in theory right LOL. Thanks for watching.

@@richtroxler Yep 🙂

Hi Keith. Thank you for those kind words, I appreciate it. Sounds like you're well traveled on the east coast. I wish I could have had the chance to travel more than I did. Be well.

Hello Portugal!

Hello India. Very simple tackle. A fish finder rig (slip sinker or egg sinker will do the same thing) above a 230 lb spro swivel tied to a 6" 40 lb flourocarbon leader, snelled to a #6 circle hook. Bait is fresh mullet chucks that I cast net. The rod is a 7' heavy action, fast taper, Penn rod, with a Penn reel (not sure of the model) spooled with 40lb power pro braided line. I hope this gives you the info you need and thank you for watching.

Hi Will. They are a beautiful fish and fight really hard. I'm glad I have this fishery available to me. You may just catch one up there as with the warming waters they are starting to expand their range. I have a picture of a 30+ lber that was caught at the Smith Point bridge in mid May this year and that's not the only red drum I've heard of this year lol. Thanks for hanging in there.

@@richtroxler wow thats awesome. Thanks for the vid and the news

Was windy as hell. Since moving here 10 years ago, I just love red drum. They are so strong. I really love the beach run of giants in the fall. All of them over 40 lbs. Thanks for watching!

Definitely watch the video on identifying sandbars. That will help a lot. I'm in Virginia Beach, nowhere near Pompano Beach ;-) Thanks for watching

I am a book on fishing LOL. BTW, that bridge has been replace with a new bridge since I made that video. The principles are still the same. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. It's actually a stretch of beach at Smith Point LI NY at low tide taken years ago.

Still hanging in there. I'm not made for the couch LOL

Still trying to get out when I can. Blew up my right knee and have another op that has to be done also. Been a tough summer that hasn't been kind to my fishing schedule LOL Going to try and squeeze some in for the fall.

Thank you.

And thank you for watching.

Appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching.
