I’m in key west right now ur video was very helpful I like the rubber band trick thank you 🙏

[@fishbluewater]

Thank you for the feed back. How is the bite over there?

[@jamesmclellan8768]

The weather isn’t cooperating we had 5-7’ wave’s yesterday with 5 second intervals and today is just as bad the weather Chanel said it’s supposed to lay down tonight

Love these type of tips video! Hopefully next week there is some tips on outrigger spread/use. Just did setup on my boat.

[@fishbluewater]

Great to here! Is there anything specific you would like us to address on a tip/technique video for your trolling spread?

[@jzl300z]

Fish Bluewater I’m sure its trial and error, but was looking for some general tips on deploying lines (what order, what happens when one snags seaweed or you need to change bait, using a planer).

This channel deserves sum recognition

1:18 I'm so homesick!😢 no place for the poor south of the stretch anymore... At least I can watch the privileged enjoy 🎉. I'd be happy for a trip to Woods Wall at this point, I'd even bring my own chain link 🙃 Bubbas up°°°

Thank you!

The rig you showed is a good basic rig for quick & easy prep. You could also reverse the hook for a weedless rig which more times than not you need to do for trolling through broken up weeds, keeping your bait in the water instead of constantly unweeding your bait. Capt. Bill Bennett

Thanks!

[@BingBangBoom409]

Any advantage to a fluro leader if cost doesn’t matter? How long of a leader is enough? Great content. Thanks

[@fishbluewater]

Fluoro is always an advantage if cost isn’t a factor. Around 8 feet for the leader is sufficient.

After you rig some do you store them in the freezer?

[@fishbluewater]

Definitely not. These rigs are for the day of fishing only.

[@eugenemccarl145]

They make smaller tight rubber bands just for that saves time

[@jejoko]

Ok wait, you don't do much trolling but you're going to show us how to rig ballyhoo..... makes me wonder if you're rigging swimmers or spinners 🤔😉

[@fishbluewater]

Just cause you dont ride a bike often doesnt mean you cant teach someone how to do so.

[@flash521]

Y no sinker?

[@fishbluewater]

Good question. This type of rig isn’t really designed for a lead under the chin. We would use a more traditional style rig with copper wire for that

[@drpando]

All I see is fingers , no knot tying details.

[@jameshansen3396]

Hey just get to the point please

[@fishbluewater]

If you don't want to watch the video just move along please
