Spot on. I lived in Orange beach for 15 years and fished lights many times. I also had my best fishing on the yellow lights. I use braid during the day but found that cajun line was more productive at night. Those fish were spooky from all the fishing pressure. It did not take long to figure out to stay as far away from the dock as you could. Love your channel and all the useful info.

[@josephmcgee8450]

Thank you! I love fishing my dock at night! This will help me!

[@my31and37]

Always great content..Information I can really use. Thanks!

[@KRDP]

Thanks for your time you spent in making this vid now that i know the 6 mistakes ima avoid these mistakes. just recently i got into loving night fishing more then i do daytime fishing. last time i was on my dock i told myself i swear i need to educate myself more about night fishing so i can catch them at night if i dont catch them during the sunlight hours.

[@saltysunburn2913]

I just want to say thanks for all of your time and effort put into making your channel. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I should have subscribed sooner. Keep up the great work!

[@southernsalt]

Thanks man I appreciate it!!!

[@williamcox8175]

Great video..thanks for posting.👍

[@afout07]

This was a very helpful video. I tried night fishing a couple nights ago and actually got an inshore slam with a few puppy drum, some trout, a flounder and some striper following these tips.

[@southernsalt]

That’s awesome man!!

[@fishingthewild8542]

Great advice mate. I love my night fly fishing around jetty lights. We have different species here in Australia, but these tips apply to us too. Great content. Subbed.

[@southernsalt]

Thanks man I appreciate it!!

[@cawv98]

Good advice for me, I like fishing at night on the weekends…

[@rob54bama]

🙋🏻‍♂️ Guilty of several of these big mistakes. Much easier to be stealthy out of a kayak though!

[@wesleybryant7334]

The old yellowish looking lights probably look more like natural light (sunlight) another great tip Tuesday preciate ya brother

[@UTclaneUT]

This is dead on. I would also add giving a light a little time to rest after pulling a fish off of it.

[@colsoncustoms8994]

Solid info. We jug fish at night and I’ll have nights where I’m getting worn out while other guys are only getting a few bites and I think 95% of that is noise. I like to quietly drop my jugs and back off a few hundred feet while they often will run out with their outboard and hang out right on the middle. Even the slapping of the water against the hull can be super loud.

[@southernsalt]

I think your right noise plays a huge part especially at night when everything around you quiets down.

[@corkyvanderhaven3391]

#1 too loud #2 tackle, go light at night, 10lbs braid, 10 leader #3 1/16, 1/8 jog w/ plastics, maybe soft tail, glass minnow, mullet, impersonate cruisers, no jerking maybe. Slow retrieve, no top or jerk. #4 everybody does it, stop pitching at dock. Hitting docks, bad. Approach everything, quiet. Go parallel, thru light, cast along, no hits on dock. #5 fishing wrong light. Submerged green light, good. No super LED, not much quality fish. Quick sum up Thx dude 🌵🧀🐠 Also, primarily the south u.s. advice. Gar, white trout, red fish, speckled trout. Move around, don’t stay around too long. And, timing if you can pick time, go after midnight when docks quiet up.

[@southernsalt]

Yessir, you got it!! Hope this info puts you on some biggins!

[@chapasebastiano8]

A lot of good info. I always didn't care much about all that noise like a loud close generator. It all makes sense. especially when we confuse a predator, and its instincts are no longer in a natural state. All good info !!

[@southernsalt]

Thanks man

[@flipflop8989]

I’ll never turn down a bunch of white trout ground mullet even big Crocker they fry up real good

[@johnnyk71]

Great advice Nate! Thanks.

[@southernsalt]

🙌 thank you!!

[@williamandaudreymenjivar85]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@southernsalt]

Thanks man I appreciate it!!

[@shutupmanful]

A Neap Tide fishing video would be pretty cool! I am going to get out on the Lagoon and give it a shot this weekend. Been a while since I have fished in there so not sure if there are any up in there right now.

[@southernsalt]

The Lagoon will be a great place this weekend. I’ve had a lot of success in there this summer.

[@alexbritan2116]

great tips brother !

[@southernsalt]

Thanks brother!

[@countylineoutdoors1724]

Great tips man! Another great Tuesday video! Thinking about heading out to the marsh this weekend. Neap tide think it’s worth it? Or just stuck to slaying some catfish on the river lol.

[@southernsalt]

Thanks man! It’ll be a little tougher than usual but I think you’ll still find some feeding redfish.

[@anthonyseymore1217]

Hey southern salt I have 4 one thousand lights on a 6' cross bar and I fish the Brazos River in Freeport does my generator noise make a difference the lights are holgen

[@jacksonmcintyre6047]

I want to add something, when you’re only catching white trout, you have to realize that no matter what time of year there’s going to be something down there eating those white trout. There’s a light I go to where if I throw 3 inch paddletails all I’ll get is white trout, if I upsize to a slick lure or a big swimbait, I usually can get at least two specks in the 20+ range on the right moon phase. Cheers.

[@calebsaner2221]

great video man👍🏼

[@southernsalt]

Thanks man!

[@josephmcgee8450]

Thank You for comment! I believe you can chum them up and I do have a dock and you are always welcome!

[@YakinwithJack]

This man is spitting the truth 🤙🏽

[@Drake_burgett]

I caught my pb black drum,it had a remora on it too

[@southernsalt]

Nice, I saw that on the fever page. Nice work!

[@HOLDFASTBEAR]

Good stuff brother!

[@southernsalt]

Thanks brother!

[@cleanfunfishing]

Great video as always !! I was wondering if you fish the moon phases/major minors? I've always paid a lot of attention to the theory, but man, I do better(way better) on the so called poor days and not in a major/minor feeding period. My best results are early in the morning in the summer time. I know there are other factors to consider, but over all what do you think about the moon phase theory? Thanks man !!

[@southernsalt]

I haven’t paid a whole lot of attention to it but there’s some solid evidence out there that supports the data.

[@josephmcgee8450]

Please tell.me how to make my Dock a Honey Hole at night fishing? No. 1 thing that might also help me!

[@dcole850floridavlogs2]

Pensacola Florida here

[@southernsalt]

Nice!

[@fredsadjadi]

Dude, you ROCK!!

[@southernsalt]

Thanks brother!!

[@wesleybryant7334]

What’s a safe launch for a yaker to hit at night especially if im going by myself?

[@southernsalt]

Little lagoon is pretty safe launching at Moe’s landing

[@joephillips8244]

Very informative. New subscriber.

[@southernsalt]

Awesome, thanks!

[@snipetime21]

Do fish hear through the line. As if you reel was a little dirty and not smooth and quite. Thanks

[@southernsalt]

Probably no that sensitive to sound lol

[@barretharms655]

Midnight to 3:00 that is the best time to fish at night unless the tide tells you otherwise adjust accordingly

[@josephmcgee8450]

What time of tide do you fish at night after midnight

[@southernsalt]

I haven’t really focused a whole lot on tides when night fishing but a falling tide will more than likely be more productive than a rising.

[@josephmcgee8450]

Please tell me how to chum for speckled trout at night on your dock?❤

[@southernsalt]

Lol do what? I’ve never heard of chumming for trout and I don’t have a dock lol

[@ianmercurio1255]

Use live bait no need to chum

[@CharlesBreonFishing]

Also you hinted at another mistake. Spending too much time at one light. Sometimes if I get a big striper I’ll just go to the next light right away…usually if I continue on the same light I won’t catch another..but if I give it a while and come back there’s another one there.

[@southernsalt]

Same here man. Most lights are one and done for a while.

[@saltysunburn2913]

Your dead on with being as quiet as possible and not spooking the fish. Blending into your prey's eviroment is key. Thats true with both hunting and fishing. The lights your talking about are called high pressure sodium. They give a nice warm glow. Here in Jacksonville Florida on the St. Johns river we have tons of those lights. Most shipyards and commercial ports have them. Im seeing alot of residential docks switching from high pressure sodium to LED because of the cost. One other tip is to think twice about bringing your kids out at night. They tend to be noisier than adults.

[@brucewalker1908]

How deep should the lights be.

[@southernsalt]

The deeper the better. I like them between 6-10 feet

[@brucewalker1908]

Thank you. Your the first to give me an idea of how deep to place it.

[@greggogolla4191]

I just got out here from the desserts of New Mexico, Can you give me some ideas on what to use, give me a couple pointers on what kind of jig, I am totally green, Thank you

[@southernsalt]

I’ve tried to comment twice but for some reason it’s not letting me reply.

[@OFFICIALBROTHERBOLDLYMUSIC]

🙏

[@CharlesBreonFishing]

The night time is the right time

[@southernsalt]

Yessir!

[@roberteicher2690]

Love light fishing but now i may change the bait size i use just to check it out

[@southernsalt]

Me too man especially this time of year.

[@jeep1987]

[@southernsalt]

[@acerosales7959]
