Commercial fishing is surely better than commercial construction. Good video.

[@corkycoursen-tv4wv]

Old school beach fishing. That is what I grew up doing in the outer banks . Lots of fun, it will wear you out going up and down the beach. Sting rays not fun for sure. Great adventure, thanks for bringing us along. Cheers

[@tonymiller8244]

I'll take a 50lbs+ ray any day they want to get on. Good eating.

[@notvinny3369]

I had really good luck with those whiting off of a public dock on the intercoastal waterway a couple weeks ago. Much easier than catching them on the surf! Even caught a couple around 18 inches

[@stripermanly]

Boiled shrimp, shrimp Scampy, etc. good job Forest. 😜

[@WilliamFluery]

Live shrimp, dead shrimp, coconut shrimp, cajun shrimp, boiled shrimp…you began to sound like Bubba from Forrest Gump 😂

[@ontheline3734]

I was getting cold just watching u. U got it done tho. Extremely tasty fish as you know. Well worth it and a great episode. I enjoyed it.

[@soccerdude7js]

Great video Elias! Happy to see you're still finding them KingFish Tacos as we head into winter!

[@ronkrauser1543]

Always a pleasure, Elias.

[@stephengantt7535]

I commercial fished for grouper back in the early 90s - winter time was always miserable. Great video as always.

[@FishingwithBrewski]

Long lining? Bet you saw some wild stuff.

[@captrwest1]

Do i know you? Richard West here.

[@reelsaltkitchen]

Skates were thick in WB last Friday. Waiting on that day when it’s nothing but 16”+ whiting smoking live shrimp. Might only get 3-4 days a year like that, but it’s worth it

[@ReggieandMiloTheCat]

So true. We did great last December, including some real nice ones near Oceanic.

[@reelsaltkitchen]

Yep, I was a couple hundred yards from Oceanic and had a day where everything under 15.5” went back, filled the cooler and had 2 that topped 18”

[@robhaynos5285]

Crushed the drum a few weeks ago down in OBX. Nabbing about 6 or 7 slot Redfish from the beach is such a thrill. Love the surf fishing vids keep em coming.

[@h.v.davidson4507]

Great morning catch,, stingrays are always a problem..............

[@geoffcaptaincpaige1167]

Not in the UK. A stingray of 50 lbs gives you a great workout. We get them to nearly twice that weight, certain times of the year. Just 30 yards from the surf!

[@ctcraftii]

Thank you for sharing

[@wiiwanna]

Nice video! I usually have a couple rods soaking bait and a lighter set up with bait that i hold onto. I use a single fish finder rig on the rod im holding and work it slowly back to me on the beach. The rod im hold and working usually gets more action than all of my soaking rods

[@supervisorone5960]

Looks like a great day to be out surf fishing I would do the same but I would also be casting out a fast retrieve surface rapala or spoon cause you never know. You should do a catch n cook on southern sting ray sometime I believe you cut off the sides n skin it to cook Great video

[@cptbimes1]

Sea mullets have been really nice this year.

[@keithwest6859]

Great video! With your great love for sting rays and skates have you ever considered a catch and cook?

[@captrwest1]

Appreciate the comm fisherman comment BTW you kill those on a pomp jig and teaser. Avoid alot the skates and rays, but not all. Might make a unique video. I catch them often comm pomp fishing.

[@user-yo9xn5ru3f]

Хорошая рыбалка. Ловил и готовил ската в позапрошлом году в Крыму, на Чëрном море. Вкус ската не понравился, кефаль или сарган намного вкуснее. А черноморский горбыль это лучшее из рыбы

[@bidenhasdementia8657]

Skree mullets really wanted the skrimps. For the algorithm!!!

[@SchusterFishes]

A doubler on stingrays….nightmare fuel lmao

[@jasonsmith6572]

Been catching some nice pomp’s on the surf. Get you some fleas, way less skates more whiting pompano and drum

[@jeromewalton5553]

I’m heading to Emerald Isle in late December, gonna try my luck a few days. Probably just do exactly what you’re doing there. Probably will get tired of reeling in stingrays too😂. Have you done a stingray catch and cook yet?

[@johnandrews2414]

Small plastic bag in cooler or bucket filled with some water makes for an easy fish rinse. Days over pull bag out and empty. All water and most sand gone.

[@Viva_Sativa]

I tried surf fishing in Bolivar Peninsula Texas over the Thanksgiving week. Two surf rods. One fish finder rig and the other Carolina rig. Both with a 1ft fc leader. Used cut bait. We casted out from the shoreline without wading in. We fished for hours. Had bait stolen off the hook all day. No fish. What did we do wrong? Next day we fished a jetty using live shrimp on popping corks and I caught two tiny fish less than a foot in length. I wanted red fish. Again, was it just luck or did we do something wrong?

[@Jacemang_Outdoors]

Nice video. How do you like the Frontier? Heavily considering one for kayak hauler and 4wd beach truck.

[@EliasVFishing]

It’s been a good car. Had 180k miles no issues on last one before trading in.

[@ReggieandMiloTheCat]

Great video. I’m all for a stingray catch and cook. Did you do one years ago? I can’t remember.

[@EliasVFishing]

Never did it yet.

[@starvision5209]

How do you catch Skates without the blades cutting the line? 😛 I'll show myself out.

[@Free2KYT]

what rig were u using it looks like u had 2 pyramid weights on the same rig in dif spots

[@davidrisenhoover1693]

Can you eat skates and what do the wheels taste like..😊

[@williamlewis5688]

What beach was you at in NC

[@geoffcaptaincpaige1167]

In the UK we eat skate,/ ray wings. Why are they considered trash fish by most Americans?

[@tylerguteres2449]

Most folks consider them to be a nuisance when targeting other more desirable fish species. On the other hand, the "trash fish" label comes from a lack of education regarding edible fish in our local waters (i.e., skates/rays and sea robins [aka gurnards]). However, there are a decent/growing amount of folks in the U.S.--myself included--who find such "trash fish" to be very good eating! I tried both skate and sea robin myself for the first time a bit over a year ago and enjoyed them both quite a lot!

[@geoffcaptaincpaige1167]

@@tylerguteres2449 Gurnard especially is a Gourmet fish here. VERY expensive top restaurant food. Skate, any rays are an off shoot Elasmabranch, took a different evolutionary direction to true sharks but are no less impressive.

[@ricks2907]

Ty my friend ❤Ricky 💥🐈‍⬛💦🐠🎣💃🕺👩🏻‍🦼

[@philpotter6388]

Did you ever try past the first trough?

[@EliasVFishing]

All rays!

[@cgvoxakis]

Is that an F bomb at 8:19?

[@EliasVFishing]

Tried to hide it.

[@christianjimbomb8204]

Just as I posted a comment about stingray being edible you said your pretty sure they are. How's that for AI.

[@Tog_Tastic]

How do you like those Onyx rods???

[@EliasVFishing]

Great for that price point!

[@MasterHumplick]

You didn't put the link for the rod holders.

[@EliasVFishing]

Fixed - my mistake.

[@lee8287]

That many rays would be a land based charter captain's dream. Just have tourists reel in rays all day.

[@alexrawleigh3167]

Come on Elias....you need to put your speedos on and paddle out about 2 miles in the yak....you going to let a little cold slow you down?

[@EliasVFishing]

Gettin old

[@glennquagmire1747]

I hate catching rats of the ocean

[@danl.909]

I’m a big fan, Elias, but I do wish you wouldn’t drag fish you’re intending to release across the sand so much. It damages their slime coats and makes them more vulnerable to disease.

[@EliasVFishing]

Thanks I’ll do better next time 👍

[@MI-me3pt]

Too many damn commercials dude
