I Tied a Camera to My Surf Fishing Rig! Complete Game Changer

[@austinblair1463]

I appreciate how in the first 2 minutes you tossed out a rig that will catch “anything and everything out here” it’s hard being a rookie fisherman trying to find setups that simply “catch fish” I can’t target certain species, I’m just down for anything. I like this. Thank you.

[@kevinderrick9695]

It really isn't all that hard to target certain species. - Figure out where does your target spend most of it's time, shallow water? deep water? sand bottom etc go to an area that has those attributes. A google search should give you the info on your desired fish. - Have appropriate gear (line, rod strength, hook size) for that targeted species. Bigger fish = Bigger hooks & stronger gear. Lastly you want to imitate what that fish eats. If you're targeting flounder or other sand bottom fish, you might wanna give worms and similar bait a try. If you're targeting Trout you might wanna try flies, Pike you wanna try bigger top water baits like frogs or small mice etc... At the end of the day, it's a lot of trial and error. You have to remember that that same fish will bite on different things depending on weather, water color, temperature and general mood. So what doesn't work today might work tomorrow and vice versa. Lastly, even if you do everything "correctly" it doesn't guarantee that you will ONLY catch your desired species. You never 100% know what will bite your hook. Hope that helps you out! GL!!!

A spoon or paddle tail will catch almost anything. If you can find fishbites near you get them I used a dbl drop rig live shrimp on one hook fishbite on other I got more hits on fishbite. I live Atlantic coast florida

Thanks for tossing the GoFish cam in. I know we fisherman appreciate ANY chance to see fish behaviors underwater as you've shown. Glad you had a good day fishing and I wish you many more.

[@leadreviewer3257]

Great underwater footage if you could try using squid for bait with the cam I believe that fish can't resist the squid specially during those times when they stop biting other baits

[@theglassmaster3140]

Or Bloodworms. I know a lot of people don’t like using them because they’re messy and got the teeth and all but it’s a great surf bait.

[@Rudeboydanyute]

Can never go wrong with squid 😊

[@kecapmanis4285]

dead squids on beach always attract the catfish mostly

[@Michael-cf9lf]

For sure squid is the best bait

[@stevecrawford333]

Sandflease and fishbites work better than dead shrimp. Wont catch shit with little shrimp pieces unless you get a jack crevalle or red swim by. And squid wont catch anything edible. Fish destin beaches for 20 years.

[@brianm9053]

Man, I love your videos because they give me a little fishing trip...when I cannot go....and you actually seem like you would be a lot of fun to go fishing with....

[@Bogie6588]

Pompano! My favorite to catch and eat! Nothing beats surf fishing on an empty beach! Thank you for sharing this, especially the fish cam....so cool!

[@AbdelAziz0205]

I watched this video and don't even think I blinked.My Dad was a great fisherman. I did it with him all the time,now that he passed,I just can't go anymore.I subscribed right after it ended.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I hope the camera on your line turns into a series. Very cool. You could strap a camera to a dock piling with lights and film fish biting too. A bag of chum with a camera watching from below could be cool also, maybe from a pier or jetty. Joey Antonelli and John Skinner have some great underwater camera set ups and videos, but there are lots more ways to use them.

[@AnglerUpTv]

👍

[@mlgauss60435]

I've never salt water fished before, but always wanted to. Every time we go to Florida, it's just to see the grandsons. They're too little to take fishing and I highly doubt if their parents ever want them to. *sigh* The camera underwater was great! Nice to see a variety of fish.

[@willsimpson3783]

Young people are more and more lazy and entitled these days. Really sucks. Parents these days are becoming worse than the kids.

Me. A trip to Walmart in Melbourne, FL, a 5 gallon bucket, some expensive shrimp from the grocery store - $50 dollars total. Feet in multi-colored sea shells, soft sunshine, so beautiful I almost wept. Caught two Pompano. A day I will forever remember. Now back in East Tennessee.

[@BeardedBrad92]

Pretty cool to see those tarpon!

[@williambenner5550]

Watching the video of the fish in the surf is highly educational. It shows that fish can be in the area, but just not interested in feeding. Was this in the afternoon by chance? Inquiring minds want to know! These sort of videos have become my favorite!❤

[@AnglerUpTv]

It was in the morning. Appreciate it

[@Rob-vv5yn]

Maybe the better question would be at what stage of the tide, fish typically from my experience drop off the bite at the top or bottom of the tide.

[@haciendadad]

You're living my dream! I have two condos on the Okaloosa island, I need another one to consider retiring, All I want to do is fish and make a YT channel like yours. It seems like fishermen love watching fishing videos, and I can't imagine doing anything else. I's a software engineer, so it is a little hard to go from working to retiring unless you have a passive income setup. Love watching your videos!!

[@AnglerUpTv]

Appreciate it! One secret that allows me to do what I do is these videos are just as passive as a rental property without the hassle. I have 500 videos churning money every month without really having to do much. I think the passive side of content creation is overlooked.

[@e.d.johnson8535]

I read an article about a fisherman who was having a hard time getting his bait beyond the surf break. His solution for a sinker he used a golf ball, He attached to his surf casting rod, opened the bail, grabbed his driver and teed off.

[@theimpaler2317]

How far out are you casting it? I’m going past the little what I heard another video call “fish highway” onto the sandbar and then chunking it as far as I can into the second “fish highway” right past the first sandbar, then walking back to the shore and waiting, no bites. I’m in pcb on vacation, every time I come here I catch stuff from the pier but this time I thought I’d give the beach a try too. So far I’ve tried using squid, and shrimp, I also have some sandfleas all frozen bought, but no luck yet. Only bite I got was like 20 feet away from shore with some shrimp. Do I use big chunks of squid, or little ones? And is there a certain time they bite the best?
