You tore it up on the gotcha plug!!! Good way to make friends on the pier is giving away spanish. Enjoyed it 👍

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Thanks 👍 the guys all wanted them and the spades - must be good eats

[@OutsidersOutdoorCo]

nice multi-species action, the spadefish are my favorite, the bigger ones fight really hard!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌ they did give up a good fight - guys said they are good to eat too

[@silverfoxcraps9166]

Looks like a great place to fish, thanks for another great video

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Hey Bill awesome action thanks for sharing! I used to fish gotcha plugs on the east coast so this was a blast from the past! Congrats on a great outing - tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Thanks Zac ✌ very effective lure but tough on the shoulder workin it

[@gfoster173]

Happy Father’s Day enjoy the vacation and fishing !!!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Thank you, I will✌🎣

[@CrayOutoors]

Looked like a fun vacation! Other than the fall, I learned the crockes on the jetty lesson down in Florida... Always fun to fish the saltwater anyway!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks Cray ✌watch out for the jetty rocks they have teeth

[@kickinbass2228]

Looked like a great trip Bill. Hope the leg is feeling better. Could have been worse. Hope you and Mike had a great Father’s Day.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks Jim ✌ hope your Fathers day was good

[@johnleskinen734]

Great Video thanks for sharing

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks ✌

[@alvarez2237]

Looks like fun.Can't wait to move there.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

its nice to visit but too hot for me

[@FitzYakin]

Looked like another great trip down to North Carolina. Lots of different species. Those rocks looked dangerpus at the end there. Glad you didnt get hurt too bad. Happy Fathers Day to you and Mike!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks Fitz ✌ we appreciate it. still healing - think it got infected lol

[@mikeydoub8108]

What kind of line and leader are you using when throwing the gotcha plugs?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i used 20 lb powerpro braid and 60lb big game leader - anything less i get bit off

[@reelguysfishing]

Your Gotcha Plug technique has certainly improved. Great trip. Thinking of heading down there myself for a quick weekend pier fishing trip myself.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌ still rough on the shoulder lol 🎣 good luck and Have fun!

[@reelguysfishing]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures Turn the rod around in your hand so your thumb is pointed to the butt end instead of the tip. Then you can point the tip down to the water and use almost all wrist to get the action. It's a little weird at first having to switch the grip again when you have a fish but you get used to it and it saves the shoulder big time.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i was watching guys do that but i was scared i'd drop my rod ion the water lol

[@grega5059]

Great haul of fish there!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Thanks 👍✌🎣

[@DROK0352]

Nice!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Thanks!✌

[@SuperDiesel71]

Well done! Always enjoy.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

Thanks again!✌🎣

[@frankzima7998]

What a cool trip! I've gotten lots of blues (in the northeast), but only a couple Spanish macks...cool fish. After seeing your steelhead videos, you must've felt naked in NC without a wool hat and waders 😄 I use old sneakers on the rocks (or studded wading shoes if there's black or green wet rock). I haven't worn flip flops of crocs in years. ...and as usual: NO SKUNKIN' !

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks man ✌ a little too warm for me down there but a nice change of pace - have to bring some studded shoes next time - still havnt healed up yet lol

[@truenorthangler]

Great trip to unwind and relax. So many different fish species coming off that pier including that one guitar fish, that was interesting to see. Seeing 2 fish go for the same lure is odd but it’s possible fishing a school of predatory fish. The bruise at the end didn’t look good, lesson learned. Those boulders looked dangerous no matter the footwear you have on, glad it wasn’t worse than that. Wishing you and Mike a Happy Father’s Day and hoping you’re enjoying the day with family and friends.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

thanks Adrian ✌ was a fun trip down south 🎣 Happy Fathers Day to you

[@FYRSTWAFFEN]

HOPE TO SEE YOU THIS YEAR AT OCEAN ISLE. WE WILL BE THERE MAY 11 THROUGH 18TH.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

👍👍😁

[@FYRSTWAFFEN]

@@BillMikesAnglingAdventures GREAT!

[@DROK0352]

“Shark bite” leg wound. Cooler story 🤣

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i did tell that to a few guys i know lol

[@marcroberts5897]

Blue fish fresh are good to eat

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i heard that before 👍 not good frozen

[@josecruz021]

I'm looking to go fishing salt water today ( i live inland) can't decide if i wanna do a pier. Considering flounder season just started piers will probably be packed. But don't know of any good beaches or shore type places.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

👍 i get into some off the beach near the inlet on twister tails

[@jonathanfigueroa132]

my friend, when you fish a gotcha do you constantly throw or do you wait until you see some fish.

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i just constantly cast

[@georgejenista9487]

Did that big ray (manta?) get caught so it could be identified?

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

no not that day

[@michaels5233]

Take the barrel swivel off your line and attach your leader straight to your line cause the swivel causes bubbles and spanish and blues will cut you off more they’ll strike at the bubbles

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

ok - good tip ✌

[@brianscutt6298]

I was wondering how much is a fishing license in North Carolina?? I'm going down there April 18th for a few days. I'm from Western New York too. Thanks!

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

i think it was 11 or 12 bucks for the week

[@JoshPoovey]

Wish you would tell what year and month you are fishing

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

early june 2023

[@airbornej2707]

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

[@kevinwinnie4741]

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]
